Recording failed (v1.2.9)

[sixeyes]

I'm using v1.2.9. Normally GBPVR is very reliable. However last week it failed to record the baseball and last night it failed again.

The previous program recorded by GBPVR (20:00 - 21:00 23/04/08 on Five) was recorded OK.

The baseball is on the same channel (01:20 - 04:20 24/04/08 on Five). All I've got for the baseball is two 6k files.

Log files are attached

For whatever reason, your device failed to lock onto a signal, so no data was ever delivered to the application for recording.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll investigate my set up.

Could any of this be connected to the low signal dialogue I get when trying to watch live TV?
The dialogue box appears whenever I start to watch live TV but disappears once I change channel.

I don't think so, that seems to be a timing/lock thing. See http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post262623

Martin (I also lose Five during the night, but it is a marginal signal for me anyway, low power and far away).

Thanks very much. That seems to have fixed the problem

Could be the same problem here. I'm going to investigate my aerial etc

I found that the freebie DVBDream http://www.dvbdream.org/ has a logging facility to grab to a .csv file. Might be worth running overnight if you have nothing planned to record.

example.
