I have channels common to DVB-T and DVB-S merged so for example BBC One HD shows as 6 sources (4 being terrestrial an 2 being Freesat).

If I scan one of my terrestrial tuners, the list of channels it produces shows the frequencies but some of them are satellite frequencies and not the terrestrial ones I was expecting.
Also applying the filters selecting DVB-T doesn't seem to work.

Is there an easy way to work out which frequencies from a scan have changed compared to the ones in the current database?

If I tick an existing channel after a scan and save, will the database get updated with the frequency detected in the scan. If so, will that tuners channel still stay in the merge channel list?

Playing Live TV in NPVRClient.exe, NLITE or Kodi works fine but if I try Live TV in the NPVR Web client it starts to receive data then exits playback with a failure.

I'm not that familiar with FFMPEG so could do with some help understanding what's causing the error.

1. Now most shows aren't recording - I get [Failed: No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal.]  I've only moved 8-10 kilometres but just in case I rescanned for channels.  I've always had 4 Hauppuage tuners, so could record 4 different frequencies at once.  Last night one show recorded and the other two gave the above error message.  I think 2 tuners have stopped working - they can't scan, though still hold the previous channels.  So I've reordered the Devices page to give the two that are working priority.  
   
2. But why didn't two shows record last night?  I feel that the system is remembering which tuner it was to use and if it doesn't work the system simply fails.  Is that possible?
   
3. Is there any way to tell if a tuner has failed?  Or can you only assume no scan means it's dead.  I understand the tuners aren't being made any more.  Any suggestions?
   
4. Do I need to reinstall to get the programme to re-allocate tuners to jobs?  (I really don't want to lose all the pending and recurring shows.
   
5. The other problem is that I can't get it to update the epg.  The internet is definitely connected to the computer, I've streamed the missed shows.  But might NewPVR not be getting the signal?  How can I tell?

What I can't get working is adding a schedules direct lineup.   I have been using schedules direct for many years with a desktop system at home running mythtv.  

Starting from the channel list setup screen I select one of the channels (wrench icon on the far right), which brings up edit channel details.  I click on source then select ...add schedules direct lineup... which brings up a Add Schedules Direct Lineup window.   I enter the zip code and leaving north america - united states set I click on search.   The window then displays another listbox with the lineups that came back from schedules direct.  I scroll to the bottom and select the one that is named "antenna ... OTA-zipcode" and click on add lineup.  

At that point I get a popup error window saying

localhost:8866
Invalid Username or Password
OK

That's as far as I can ever get.  A couple of times I have tried to select the lineup starting from the guide option instead of the channels option.   Whatever goes on there apparently "spams" schedules direct and exceeds their maximum of 10 IP addresses within 24 hours rule. 

What am I doing wrong here?]]>

I was able to setup NextPVR with the documentation provided.
My first recording was last night (when I was sleeping).
Obviously my PC went into sleepmode to save power.
I expected NextPVR to awaken my PC, but it did not.
How can I record without leaving my PC on full for the whole night?

Any help would be appreciated

I could see the EPG, cool, but using arrow keys left, or down, after 3 or 4 clicks, the UI would freeze for a new seconds. Did this repeatedly and I thought maybe my lack of tuner devices is causing a problem.

Has anyone used such an old card (date printed on card is 2007!!!) in a recent PC? I just wanted to know if I can get it working quickly.

If I cannot get it going shortly, and being so old, I should probably just buy a new one. I was thinking of a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD (need it for DVB-T, NZ Freeview).

I use NPVR exclusively as my backend recording service, but have developed a custom UI for managing and viewing my recordings. This was done primarily to accommodate my 83 year-old wife.

My problem is I can't take advantage of using COMSKIP.

My UI uses VLC as the media player, and I don't think it supports the COMSKIP EDL file. I have since discovered that MPV doesn't support it either. MPLAYER looks like it would work, except it doesn't play well with TS files; the timeline is screwed up from the start. I looked at ZOOMPLAYER but didn't get anywhere. If there were a way to just use the NPVR player that would be the solution, but I doubt that's possible either.

Bottom line, is anyone aware of an external Windows media player that supports the COMSKIP EDL?]]>

There are three ways to try to enable or disable closed captioning in the NPVR UI client:

1. Mouse: Right-click on the NextPVR.exe UI window, then select Subtitle Stream from the context menu, and then select Closed Captions
   
2. Media Center Remote: Press the More Info button, then the Down arrow button to highlight the controls at the bottom of the overlay, then the Left arrow button to reach the hamburger menu, next click the OK button, and finally select Change Subtitle Stream
   
3. Keyboard: Press Ctrl-X to display the Select Subtitle Stream menu
   

On my main test PC, however, none of these is managing to actually set closed captioning: the subtitles never start appearing onscreen, and the next time I bring up the CC selection menu, "Disabled" shows as the current setting. I figure I must be missing a step or a setting somewhere.

@mvallevand has suggested using yauiclient.exe instead if CC is important to us and I may ultimately do that, but I'm curious as to what if anything can be done for this on NextPVR.exe. Maybe modifying some line(s) in config.xml?]]>
