Hello,<br>
<br>
I have been fighting this issue for a days now and I wanted to throw
this<br>
out there to see if anyone else has seen/heard of anything like this. I
can<br>
recreate the issue over and over but I am not sure what is causing it.<br>
<br>
When one recording is ending on a tuner and another is beginning on my
HDPVR<br>
my whole backend hard freezes requiring a push of the reset button for
the<br>
PC to come back up.<br>
<br>
In Other Words:<br>
Tuner 1: HD Homerun Records from 09:00 - 10:00<br>
Tuner 2: HDPVR Has a show starting at 10:00<br>
<br>
At 09:59 when the backend should start recording from the HDPVR the
backend<br>
hard freezes.<br>
<br>
Using that example above, if the HDPVR starts to record at 09:30
everything<br>
is fine. It is only when 1 show is ending and another is beginning on
the<br>
HDPVR.<br>
<br>
I can record from each tuner just fine for multiple shows back to back
on<br>
the same tuner without issue, so the tuners work.<br>
<br>
Here is the strange thing, the other way around, there is no freezing.<br>
<br>
Meaning:<br>
Tuner 1: HDPVR Records from 09:00 - 10:00<br>
Tuner 2: HD Homerun Has a show starting at 10:00<br>
<br>
In that senerio, everything works just fine.<br>
<br>
I have elimitated the HD Homerun as the source of the problem by trying
a<br>
pcHDTV HD-3000 instead, still freezes.<br>
<br>
Details:<br>
HD Homerun using Tuner 0 (Over the Air ATSC)<br>
HDPVR and a Dishnetwork ViP 211k receiver (Component and SPDIF)<br>
<br>
Note: IR blasting is done via a homebrew serial blaster, I am _not_
using<br>
the HDPVR for blasting.<br>
<br>
Both the HD Homerun and the HDPVR are running the latest firmware. I was<br>
going to downgrade the firmware in the HDPVR, but I read that the
previous<br>
version had its own problems.<br>
<br>
I am running Mythdora 12.23, mythbackend version: tags/release-0-23<br>
[0.23-1.md12 (r24509).<br>
<br>
The backend log isn't much help, since when it freezes it can't write
to it,<br>
heh (HW Tuner 44 is the HDPVR)<br>

<br>
The next line of the log is the backend starting after I had to push the<br>
reset button.<br>
<br>
I am at my wits end, any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help.<br>

<br>
So I spent some more time working on the issue this morning.<br>
<br>
I downgraded the firmware of the HDPVR, no change, still hangs as
described.<br>
<br>
I reloaded the newest firmware of the HDPVR into it and changed the USB
port it was plugged into making sure it was on a different bus, no
change, still hangs as described.<br>

Most people with this problem add a sleep to their channel changing
script...Search this list for hdpvr channel script... I would guess
that is your problem also..<br>
