no problem, seems to work OK

[bgowland]

The GetEventInformationTable2() exception is one I know about. There's a bug in the code where it continues to try to get EPG information after the user has stopped a radio station playing - it's on my ToDo list to fix.

The GetSignalStatistics() exception I'm not sure about. I know it doesn't work for some type of card and the code isn't supposed to try it in those cases. What type of card do you have?

Cheers,

What type of card do you have?

Cinergy 2400i DT
Nova 500 DT
Nova T PCI (90002)

[bgowland]

Cinergy 2400i DT
Nova 500 DT
Nova T PCI (90002)

I'd guess that it was using the Cinergy when it logged the error. I know the code to get the signal statistics works with the Nova 90002 cards as I use those. I'm pretty certain it also works for the 500 DT.

As you said it worked fine, then don't worry about it. Bit of a pain that it isn't consistent for all types of cards though as it's useful in more ways than one.

I'll do some research.

EDIT: Could you zip and attach the complete DvbtrServiceMessenger.log file please?

Cheers,
Brian

Sorry, only just noticed the EDIT.

[bgowland]

OK - that's odd. The log shows it is using the Nova-T - as I mentioned above, the code works fine for my Nova-T cards.

All I can think is they changed something in the drivers - which version are you using? I haven't updated mine in over a year or more.

Late thought.
Reloaded db and scanned again. noticed these slightly strange graphs. It appears to be going for the Cinergy tuner.

[bgowland]

I won't be able to view those graph files on my machine. If you have GraphEdit, could you open them then take screenshots and zip and attach those please.

BTW, your Nova driver version is more up to date than mine but I'm not sure that's the problem.
