[mythtv-users] WAF Issue with Recording

[andersonas at comcast.net]

You might also want to connect to the HDHomerun with the HDHomerunGUI and make sure the signal levels are OK on all channels. I had this issue twice. Once it was a bad cable connection and the second time the power adapter for the cabletv amp was unplugged. Both times the HDHomerungui showed a low signal level. All I saw in the log both times was the recording file was missing.

Hi, 

I am having a weird issue that is affect the WAF a lot! Basically the last few airings of Desperate Housewives has either failed or giving a very small recording file. Last night I only got 376B. Looking at the logs i see nothing out of the ordinary: 



0 byte or 376B files generally mean that there was a tuner problem and Myth did not receive any data from it when requesting to record. See other people's suggestions about power cycling the tuner and the old "leave it off for 30 seconds" trick which has helped me resolve PCI DVB card issues in the past that a simple reboot would not fix.
