NextPVR - not responding & black screen

[yardwork]

Good afternoon. My NextPVR stopped working in February. Many on and off attempts to find the reason have been unsuccessful. Any assistance is appreciated.

When I launch the software it acts normal, like it did before it quit working. When I try to tune to live tv it hangs with a black screen and (Not Responding) in the window bar. I've sifted through the logs but nothing indicates to me that the hardware isn't working. I've done fresh installs and the software find all our local OTA channels so I *think* the hardware is fine. I've messed with the decoders and installed LAV but get the same results. Would love to get it working again but I'm kind of stuck. Thank you in advance.

If you try doing a recording, does a file get created? Does it have a valid looking size, or is it zero bytes long? If it has a valid looking size, does it play in another player?

Thanks for the response. I just tried it and it does create a file, zero bytes in size.

It doesn't look like you are getting a strong enough signal did you check your antenna connection? Does the WinTV software work for you?
