This happened with the NOVA-T on a few occasions too...

That makes me think its related to the USB on your motherboard, or the chipset drivers for it, rather than the actual Twinhan or Nova-T device.

If you're on the WinXP SP1 or higher, try the Microsoft DVR-MS mux to see if you fair any better. Some times the muxes lock up if they get garbage data, which can come from low signal quality etc.

It doesn't seem to make any difference. It still cuts short.
[INDENT](The MS MUX behaves very differently though - it seems to create a big file almost immediately 97,768Kb or something like that, and then the final file ends up being smaller... Plus, if I try to watch the pending recording (whilst it's still recording) I get no OSD.)[/INDENT] Anyway - it looks like something more hardware-based, then, does it? FWIW, I have a Shuttle SN41G with nForce2 chipset and an AMD Athlon 2200 processor. Does that mean that there's no hope (short of buying a new computer). Or can I fix this?

Quote:Anyway - it looks like something more hardware-based, then, does it?Maybe hardware. Maybe drivers. Either way, stopping mid recording usually indicates the problem is not caused by GB-PVR.

FWIW, I contacted Shuttle to ask about whether there were any known problem with my chipset or USB hardware, and they said:

I really don't want to have to spend the next x months putting all my software back onto the computer bit by bit... It'd be nice to have a fresh, clean, install - but I'm not convinced that it's worth it. Dom

Maybe worth checking if you can do long recordings with the Twinhan software, and if you cant, get on to Twinhan support.

... it worked just fine using Twinhan DTV software
I successfully recorded a couple of good long files (over half an hour) with no issues. :o I guess that I'll keep this tuner and see what I can get working. I'm certainly not going to rush to reinstall Windows...

Ok, sorry I couldnt help more.
Quote:... it worked just fine using Twinhan DTV softwareOk, maybe its a bug in their BDA drivers, which isnt present in their DTV drivers. |
