Hi.
I have one, but i am not able to make it working in NPVR and WinXP.
By some reason i cannot tune any channels.
In LOG i noticed a crash.

Code:

2011-09-09 22:03:24.515    [INFO][1]    DigitalRecorder.StopStream() handle: 1
2011-09-09 22:03:29.531    [ERROR][1]    Unexpected error in timer_tick: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
   at NShared.DigitalScanningForm.GetTuningString(Int32 frequency, Int32 bandwidth, Int32 sid, Int32 onid, Int32 tsid, Int32 serviceType, Boolean encrypted)
   at NShared.DigitalScanningForm.timer1_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)

So i try to coppy channels mapping from older tuner.
When i click on LiveTV, there is ...wait... message, then black screen (not a codec issue, there is no problem with old tunner).

For now i give up, returning to old WinTV1300...

I'm not sure on the exceptions in the logs, but that happens later after the scan completes, so isnt directly related. We have seen these post-scan exceptions in some user's logs, but I haven't found the cause yet.

The log indicates the device didnt lock a signal. Are you sure you're scanning the right frequencies?

2011-09-09 22:03:24.515 [DEBUG][1] locked=0, present=0, strength=0, quality=0 (took 16ms to check)

Did the device work with the software it came with?

Yes, frequenties are the same like on WinTV1300
And no, i didnt. I dont want to install it.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It looks like the device didnt lock onto the signal, so most likely - wrong frequencies, or antenna isnt supplying a good signal, or flakey drivers.

OK, i get new device - the first one was damaged.
Now i was able to tune all channels, but when i click LiveTV, i got service not running error.
In LOG i found:

So i try to start npvr rec. service mannualy, but it report missing file error

The NPVR Recording Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

So what can be missing? I reinstalled NPVR, still the same.
Win7x64 here.

Does the windows event viewer tell you which file is missing? Or maybe the nrecord.log may have some clues?

[hoborg]

I checked both already, nrecord was not created, and event viewer only tell what i pasted already:

The NPVR Recording Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

That is all :/

Maybe try running "nrecord.exe RUN" from the command line to see if it gives you any more useful info.

That looks like it's running fine. No sign of errors there.
