No. I set up the HDHR as per your instructions.

I forgot to mention that I downloaded the NCIS file and the CBS-HD streams do indeed exist and play (tested with GraphStudio). I doubled checked the tuning string and that is correct as well.

hmmm.. is it always the Craig Fergusen show that fails or do other programs on that channel fail as well?

You can also try setting the following in your config.xml:

Code:
<BDADisableStatusChecks>[color=red]false[/color]</BDADisableStatusChecks>

  <BDACheckSignalStatusDuringRecording>[color=red]1[/color]</BDACheckSignalStatusDuringRecording>

Every attempt to record on that channel using the ts mux results in 0-byte files. If I use the full TS mux, it records but I don't get the whole stream. I'm guessing multi-recording is not working either(I have it enabled) but I'm trying to squash one bug at a time.

I'm using the 20081231 HDHR firmware.

BDADisableStatusChecks was already set to false.

I changed BDACheckSignalStatusDuringRecording to 1 from 0.

I still received 0-byte files.

Did you find more than one stream in that file?

Yes. It was a full mux. I was just mailnly looking to make sure it had the CBS streams.

I haven't tried the 1231 software yet. I'm still on 1209. I'll load it up when I get back home and see if I can replicate the issue.

Update:

In addition to the Full TS mux, the dvr-ms mux and ATI MPEG mux both work with that station. The TS mux still generates 0-size files. I even tried it with multi-record off and on.

Logs are attached.
