After doing some searching, this appears to be a known problem with some motherboard/PVR combinations.While I'd love for my PVR-150 that I already paid for to work, I think that's a lost cause.

However, the only one that I saw that looks like it will work is a PVR-USB2, which apparently sometimes has the same issues with zero byte recordings, so I would prefer an alternative, as I suspect that I may one of those who would experience the issue.

Howdy Quinten,

I have a PVR-USB2 and have never had zero byte recordings.  Never
heard of it being a big problem either.  You looking at recent info?
Sorry I can't be of any help on the PVR-150,
