Status says recording but it isn't

Hi,

I have GBPVR set to record the news and Campbell live every night and also "House" tonight (Tuesday).

I also run PVRX2 on the "second monitor" and potentially on live tv all the time, ie. doesn't go off at night.

Tonight I found the status of the recording service was "Recording House". However when you look in the file system the recording is not there and if I run "File Monitor" nothin's happening. Also I found the directories that should have had the news and Campbell Live are deleted - both are set to only keep 1 recording.

I restarted PVRX2 and the recording server and bingo it actually started recording.

Also I am having a problem with the EPG/Guide updating from freeview - but there are lots of postings on that and the TV Guide.

I had assumed that if you were watching one channel and it needed to record another channel it would just switch the live TV over or something ?

BTW I did try to search the forums on this but couldn't find anything particularly relevant

Thanks all.

Forgot to mention minor issue.

I have two sounds cards, one for the TV and one for the computer. It seems the "System Sounds", or whatever it is called, come out the default sound card and not the sound card I am using for the TV.

Can I force the "system sounds" to a particular sound card ?

Thanks again
