possible recording bug

[povarotti]

since the feature was added to automatically change the channel while in liveTV mode when a scheduled recording begins, i've noticed a bug in my system setup.

to be clear, i asked for this feature, and love it...i'm really not whining, just reporting my findings to see if this is truly a bug, or if it's something due to my particular configuration.

i have my pvr250's channel changer set up with my regular cable connection, but i also have satellite (no channel changer) coming in via the external s-video connection. when watching something on cable and a scheduled recording on cable occurs, and the switch takes place, all is well. however, when i'm watching cable, and a scheduled recording on the external s-video begins, and switches, the video switches, but the recorded file ends up being corrupted (this is only noticeable after the recording finishes). from the recordings screen, attempts to play back the recording lock up gbpvr, and attempts to play this file from the windows file system explorer lock up windows. similarly, when i'm watching a program on the external s-video connection, and gbpvr switches to a scheduled recording on cable, that recording is likewise corrupted. seems to me there's a bug when switching sources/connections. curious to know if anyone else has seen this behavior, or would test it out if they've got a similar setup.

additionally, when watching liveTV and then switching to a scheduled recording, upon completion of the recording, i lose audio when it resumes liveTV again. again, this is pretty minor, just pointing it out.

There is no feature to do this. It should just drop back to the main menu when a recording is scheduled to start. Thats what happens for me.

hmmm, i have seen that behavior as well, but the majority of the time it tunes to whatever is scheduled to record, and continues on, in "LiveTV" mode, instead of dropping back to the main menu. it is in this case that my corrupted recordings happen, when the source (cable/internal tuner vs. satellite via external s-video) of what i'm viewing in LiveTV changes because of the scheduled recording.
