Recording dilemma

[ssky]

Hello guys. I really need help from the Masters of GBPVR. I am using the latest GBPVR (downloaded just a couple of days ago) and Hauppauge PVR 150. My OS is Win XP SP2. I can watch live tv and was also able to use my remote control to change channels and such. EPG is working too. But the main thing which is recording a program is NOT working. When I schedule a program to be recorded, the Pending section shows that the program is scheduled but nothing happens afterwards. I have tried it many times but with same result. When I check GBPVR after many hours, it still says the program is scheduled. When I check the GBPVR icon in the systray for the status it says "Capture Device #1 sleeping". Also the files are created on my hard drive but with zero buyte lengths which means nothing was recorded.

So what am I doing wrong? or what should I do to make this recording work.

One more thing, after I do all that and try to watch live tv, it gives me an error "The device is actively refusing connection.." or something like that. I then have to reboot the pc and reintialize GBPVR to watch live tv again.

Please help..

I get the error message with 2 nova-t's. Installed last week. Because system isn't stable, I have scheduled 2 recordings at different times during the day to test, and get the same error msg 'Error. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.'

I also get a windows error message on screen 'GBPVRRecordingService.exe has encountered a poblem and needs to close...etc.'. Unlike you, my GBPVR icon in systray says 'Capture Device #2 is recording...' although program has finished hours earlier. I try to cancel the recording from the TV Guide, and nothing happens.

I also have to restart the PC to clear the fault.

Both your errors are unrelated given the DVB vs analog differences.

ssky, run a test, then email your logs to me at support@devnz.com. Let me know what your tried to record and at what time, and I'll take a look.

Johnnyb, I suspect you wont get two Nova-T's working correctly in the one machine, as there are some known issues with the Microsoft Transport Information Filter that make multiple instances unreliable. I dont know if you problem is related to this, but you can also send your logs and I'll take a look.

I have the exact same setup. I also have the exact same problem.
