I continue to have the strangest problems with 94.12.
Several days ago I was changing channels using the channel up/down function and after about a dozen channels the audio/video became very "choppy." After a few more channel changes the system rebooted by itself. It then went into the reboot loop where it boots, starts windows and appears to be starting GBPVR then reboots --- it repeats this process time after time. I've found that the only way to stop this is to start in Safe Mode, schedule chkdsk /f, restart, let chkdsk run and when the machine restarts everything is back to normal and GBPVR starts normally.
Last night I avoided using channel up/down adn changed channels by directly entering the channel numbers. After about a dozen channels the system reboots and goes into the reboot loop. Again, running chkdsk seems to clear it up and operation is OK.
These problems did not occur with the 92.xx release and other than the GBPVR release nothing else has changed (no new drivers, plug ins, etc.) I haven't seen other reports of anything like this so it doesn't look to be endemic in GB but rather unique to my system. The strange thing is that running chkdsk seems to clear up the immediate rebooting problem. But chkdsk never reports any errors, just running it is enough to get things straightened out. Defrag runs once a week in the early morning hours. The EPG update runs at about 5AM every morning and seems to work fine.
Just looking for ideas.
