No live TV (unless recording?)

[jezz2020]

using ver 1.4.7 on clean install of windows 7 32 bit, NOVA-t-500 tuner, i am having the following problems

I can enter the tv guide, select a current show to watch, but i only get picture and sound for half a second then just a black screen, or alternatively i get picture with the "no signal detected" overlay present for a second, then black screen also (see 1st set of logs)

alternatively i can go to the tv guide, select a current show to RECORD (in this case tv3 - sticky tv), and then while still in the tv guide i can select a second channel to watch (i.e.c4) which gives me half a sec picture, then black screen, then full video and audio comes back fine and i can navigate through channels no problems. However if i then go back to the guide, select the recording show to watch ( which playes back fine), then when i exit the guide, and then attempt to re-enter from the main menu, pvrx2 becomes completly un-responsive and must be killed with task manager (see 2nd logs)

Interestingly, after this occurs windows explorer does not work correctly either, with the right hand pane not updating as you navigate through the folder structure on the left hand side.

Hope this post makes some kind of sense, its been a really long day :eek:

any suggestions most welcome

ps anyone using nova-t-500 (99xxx series) with windows 7? what version of drivers you using?

Sub, your rapid replys never cease to amaze me, my apologies for not finding that patch myself. It has indeed fixed the live tv problem, but emphasized another....(logs attached)

after watching a few different channels on live tv, i selected "back" on the remote to return to the TV guide, which promptly locked solid and flickered for 30ish seconds, before finally spitting me out to the main menu. attempts to enter the guide (even after re starting pvrx2) fail, and windows in general seems to loose the plot, with none of the links ie control panel options, seeming to do anything, internet explorer cannot connect to sites, windows explorer not refreshing the right hand pane etc. does not seem likely to be a gbpvr problem, but any suggestions would be useful before resorting to yet another fresh OS install!

oh, an using Windows 7 32 bit Ultimate if that makes any difference.
thanks

In that log it looks like your remote is sending continuous messages.

Are you able to reproduce it with the keyboard only?

[jezz2020]

Yup you are correct, i cannot reproduce the multiple escape presses with the keyboard, there must be a driver related problem though the effect it has on the entire windows environment is quite astounding! Not quite sure what the next course of action might be, the remote is integrated into the capture card so my options to modify the setup are limited. will have to give this some further thought. Thanks for the help sub
