<div>Hello, My problems are somewhat similiar.....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a PVR350 connected to cable and a 150 connected to DirecTV and using an irblaster to change channels.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Everything works flawlessly until it comes time for a scheduled recording...... I just get empty files that won't delete very easy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I am watching a show and click "R" it records the program just fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anybody have any ideas??</div>
<div> </div>
