Channels have stopped working

[Nzero]

Hey all,

I'm looking or a little bit of help. I am running NPVR on Win 10 with a Ceton InfiniTV 4. A far as setup goes it pretty basic. All of my channels have worked from the start with no problem. But about a month again some of my channels started having problems. To give you an example, if I turn to Comedy Central (channel 772.1) NPVR hangs and then comes up with "The Tuner you were using was required for a recording" even though there is nothing else recording.

For the recording I have setup on this channel it creates the files, but they are 0KB. There are a few other channels that I have come across that are doing the same. All of my other recording work just fine.


Thanks for any help.

If you view the Ceton device web pages while attempting to record or watch this channel, does it indicate it's copy-freely, or copy-once/copy-never protected ? My guess is your cable company has encrypted this channel.

The other possibility, has the channel changed it's channel number? NextPVR stores the channel number at the time it initially scanned this device, and uses it whenever it needs to tune this channel.

The Channel is still same. attached is a screenshot from the ceton diag. if it helps.

I'm not really that familiar with the Ceton devices, and where they show message etc, but from memory, they have a web page that shows the current tuned frequency, lock status, tuning logs etc. It's different to this diagnostic tool you've supplied a screen shot of. I'd recommend digging around a bit further to find the webpages I"m talking about.
