Guys

I have a PVR-150 and an HVR-2250, both of which use IR blasters to control STBs and record analog in. They had been working fine for almost a year. I've been trying to upgrade my GB-PVR setup to use an HD-PVR. For a while I also wanted to use the PC to play the shows, but I've given up as I can't seem to get a stable system, and now plan to use an NMT for playback. However, at some point in my struggles with audio and video decoders, one of my 2 analog tuners stopped working, the files are created but have no video and no audio. They appear black and silent when copied over to another machine, so I don't think it's an issue with playback on the GB-PVR machine. I am attaching logs, but I"m thinking the problem is related to the following entries (at 7:29 AM 4/23 is an example of a failed show)

I have tried deleting and re-adding the capture source, and reinstalling the Hauppauge 2250 drivers to no avail. Any suggestions on how to resuscitate my capture card?

Thanks!

Never mind! I changed some of the parameters in the Analog Recording tab, then changed tem back and everything started working again.
