Cannot Record Two Simultaneous Programs

[tjb]

I loaded up the dump file from earlier in the thread, but unfortunately the stack frame showed nothing useful. It was dying inside ntdll.dll somewhere, and there were no NPVR components in that stack trace.

That was the original error, since then I have completely rebuilt my system. I will try to post another one when I can just in case the symptoms are different.

Maybe try posting another crash.mdmp. We might get a more useful stack out of it.

EDIT: you be me to it.

Also, which OS are you running and which HDHR software version? I'll try to reallocate one of my HDHRs to OTA and try to reproduce the issue.

That is an extremely generous offer! OS is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and the HDHR version is, I believe, the latest released version (20100213). I did just see there were a number of beta releases available, I may try that if nothing else helps.

I'm running HRHR 20100609beta1.

I just upgraded to HDHR 20100609beta1. As soon as I started a 2nd recording it crashed again and generated the attached dump file.

Unfortunately still no good clues in there.

Are you using any 3rd party firewall/antivirus software on your machine?

[tjb]

No, not at all. Just what comes with Windows 7 - Firewall and Defender. The only thing I can think of out of the ordinary may be TwonkyServer. I also run an ssh server for remote access tunneling (via vnc), MagicJack, and Acronis for backups. A few other apps that really shouldn't have any affect.

Anyway, thanks for checking the dmp file, sub.

Does it also happen if you start a recording and then attempt to watch a second channel via Live TV?

It doesn't work, but I get different results. I have attached logs that show the attempt. After starting the first recording, and then trying to watch live tv I get an error from NextPvr that says "Unable to communicate with recording device". But the system does not crash and it continues on (by continues on I mean the GUI is still responsive and I can retry Live TV or switch to another menu).
