Nova-t 500 recording issue (short or missing time)

ACTCMS · 2010-02-03, 09:53 PM

What OS are you using and what version of the Hauppauge drivers?

After months of trying to fix this I abandoned the Hauppage and bought a Pinnacle. The problem went away.

It's either a hardware problem or a driver issue that causes one tuner to stop sending data when the other tuner is sent a normal stop recording command.

If the second tuner gets a start new recording command, the first erroneousley stopped tuner starts sending data again (as long as its end of recording time hasn't passed). Result, a recording with a bloomin big gap in the middle.

Many users have had this problem but I'm not aware of anyone who found a solution. It's difficult to repeat consistently therefore almost impossible to find a fix.

Regards,

Ray

Absolutely, but it's always worth installing the latest drivers - just in case. I used to get the short recording occasionaly but not now - obviously a combination of OS/GBPVR/Driver updates somehow fixed it. IMHO they are good cards - I've got four of them...

The card came without drivers so I thought I had downloaded from Hauppauge. Went to double check and device manager says 3.7.25127 and Hauppauge site lists 4.3.27240.
Downloaded them but install comes up with 'no compatible hardware found'.
Is that because i have an early card maybe?
Do either of those version numbers tie up with what you have?
It's XP, by the way.
Thanks again.

DOH!
Just realised my schoolboy error - I have a TD and downloaded drivers for a T.
Will try again.

OK drivers now updated to 3.11.27187.0, Will see how we get on.
Cheers

Doesn't look good, more diff recordings today. I tend to agree about a clash of drivers/os/gbpvr but easiest solution may be to check out the Pinnacle.

I'm afraid it looks like I have to add myself to this list.

Fingers crossed for iPlayer as it was a show that my niece was in :eek:
