Recording stops prematurely

[Mikie]

HDHR is wired not wireless.

I had left the HDHR Config Utility open on the desktop to monitor it sending data. I just received an audible alert and a message window from HDHomeRun Config GUI with the message "ERROR: communication error".

I wonder what that means, and whether it's likely to have also happened to the connection sending data to NextPVR.

It seems that this is likely an HDHR issue which would explain why it was happening with GBPVR and now NPVR. I left both the HDHR Config open and the HDHR View open (for watching live TV off the second tuner). The recording quit and at the same time the Config window gave a communication error message and the HDHR View stopped broadcasting the live feed.

After some reading it seems that a possible explanation is that the power supply on my 8 year old HDHR may be failing. In the meantime I power cycled the HDHR and it has been working for much longer than anything in recent memory. We'll see.
