Ok, so I have the same iptv provider, but I have two separate accounts with them (one for the parents and 1 for me) these include two different xc logins  

I want to run the NextPVR client from my PC only, at my home and have my kodi at my home pull from my xc login device from the backend client running on my PC  

And I want my parents household Kodi to pull streams from my PC under their device from my PC  

Is this possible ? 

How would Kodi know which device to pull from in the next PVR client on my PC when I run it in my home compared to running it in their home?

But when I looked this morning out of curiosity, I discovered that the weekend's playoff games had not recorded. The error message given in Web NPVR goes as follows:

[Failed: No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal."]

When I try to tune a channel, the NPVR GUI displays either "please wait" (usually) or "Unable to find capture device" (once or twice).

Curiously, with the TV set to the TV's HDMI input for the STB, when I change channels via NPVR the new channel is displayed on the TV itself, but not on the laptop screen, where the NPVR GUI shows one of the above messages.

Hoping for a simple solution, I've taken the following steps:

• Closing and relaunching NPVR.
  
• Power-cycling the PC.
  
• Power-cycling the HDPVR 2 1512.
  
• Power-cycling the STB to which the HDPVR is connected.
  

None of this has helped.

Something seems to have happened somewhere along the device chain between October 1 (the date of the last successful recording) and October 3 (when the ALDS and NLDS started). I'm attaching the log file, in the hope that they will help someone knowledgeable about these things to pinpoint the cause of the problem.

Thank you in advance for any insights or suggestions.

TV show set to record at 6:30.  Turn on TV, click on in-process recording and nothing.   Stop recording.  Go to Guide, click on channel and watch Live.  

Still using exact same signal, watching show via NextPVR.

What is it that prevents the recording that allows the live viewing of a perfectly clear broadcast with no glitches? 

Yes, I know the answer is that NextPVR is pulling data from the HD HomeRun, but it starts the session, and would run the 30 minutes and then display that it couldn't lock signal or similar.   Yet, it could, because I watched it live via NextPVR...

Can I alter the strength cutoff somehow?

I do not know where this question belongs so please move if you feel so.  I have an awesome setup here where I am with my HDhomeruns for now however long ATSC 1.0 will work.  I do have a remote place, with an antenna up there also whence I frequent.  Straight into TV.

I have some decent old hardware laying around with a Hauupage USB Dual OTA tuner, PLUS I have a TAP VPN Server here locally that I use.  So I was wondering... will something like this work?

https://www.eltima.com/products/usb-over-ethernet/

Thought process would be install proper drivers on the computer and make sure it works, then have the computer connect to TAP VPN Server here with a static IP.  Would my local NextPVR solution pick it up?  I cannot easily test this, as remote location is 1000 miles away.  

Wanted the brain trusts' input.

Thank you.]]>

I've been using NPVR since V4 and only had this problem on later versions of V7. Previous behaviour would swap the recordings over exactly on the start/stop time, say 7pm but now it swaps at 6.54pm.
My setup has 2x astrometa DVB-T2 USB receivers and one TBS 6902 and the problem only affects the 6902 when one recording follows another on the same tuner. The 6902 is priority 1 for recording. 
For now I've found an older version 7 on videohelp and installed that so I'll see how that goes. I did have a V5 which was fine but didn't store episode numbers so I'm trying 7.0.0.241105 to see if that rectifies it. 
I think the astrometa are not affected as all channels are on the same transponder.
