1 second recordings

Try scheduling a recording, let it start, then look in the DCR-3250 web pages. I'm pretty sure you click on the tuner, and see the status of the channel.

Does the DCR-3250 have a web page?

Yeah. It's like an reskinned version of the old HDHomeRun pages.

I'm not 100% sure if the lineup.xml reports DRM channels with the Hauppauge device. Even if it did, the list could be out of date, requiring a rescan on the device. Either way, the tuner status page will tell us.

I rescanned the channels yesterday. 53 shows TCMHD but no DRM and no HD . I tried the http message in VLC, (1 or 2 frames again) then went to the system log on the 3250.

I don't think the rest of the info will help.

Hmm, ok.

Given you're getting the same couple of frames in VLC, it's definitely all the device is delivering, so all NextPVR is going to get too. You might have to ring Hauppauge for more info. They might some more useful diagnostic steps.

Yep, that's it copy-once. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this. They cable company is encrypting that channel.

I'm Guessing Spectrum changed the copy protection between April 4 and April 11.  I'll check with them. Thanks for your help.  I assume there isn't any legal way around this.
