"your epg source does not appear to be configured correctly"

This is a problem that i receive that error message everytime I do an epg update. The Zap2it data gets downloaded as i can see it in the search and listings. The GBPVRTray.exe.log file shows the following

Any ideas on this?

I think the problem exists because of a RemotingException that is getting thrown when a new TcpClientChannel is being created.

private bs(bool instanceIsRecordingService)
{
this.f = -1;
this.d = instanceIsRecordingService;
this.e = j.a();
this.b = b2.a();
if (!instanceIsRecordingService)
{
Logger.Verbose("About to connect to remote recording service");
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new TcpClientChannel());
string text1 = j.a().a("/settings/RecordingServiceLocation", "tcp://localhost:7968/RecordingRemote");
this.c = (IRecordingService) Activator.GetObject(typeof(IRecordingService), text1);
if (this.c == null)
{
Logger.Error("Couldn't open communication channel remote recording service");
}
}
}


Perhaps this might fixe the problem:
IChannel iChannel = new TcpClientChannel();
iChannel.ChannelName = String.Empty;
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(iChannel);


msdn talks about what happens if two channels are created with the same name. (in this case it's the default name; String.Empty won't cause an exception to be thrown).

Didnt you accept the license agreement when you installed GB-PVR?

[rjaeger_1111]

i probably would have had to accept it to install the app. (i don't have the original installer, and i didn't see a EULA txt file in the directory.. so maybe there wasn't one???)
Microsoft wouldn't have provided meta data if it isn't to be used. anyways, i enjoy gbpvr, thought i'd look into the bug for you.
