Recording a large number of partial files

[mpenton]

I've been running SageTV for a while and just recently upgraded from 2.x to 4.x and added a hd board (AV180) to the mix (haup 250). I've noticed that since adding the hd board/updating the software that I get a large number of partial files recorded in my directory and only a few programs actually get recorded fully. The system is a NF3 mb, 1gb ram, 250 gb hdd record area and an 80 gb boot drive. I run Sage in standby on this system which is the way I've always done it and view the files with the client on my htpc. Yesterday I found, 30 some odd partial files (some upwards of 3gb) and only 3 programs that were fully recorded after a period of 2 days. It's to the point where I am getting only 1 or two programs out of 5 favorites recorded. I've done a search on partial and found that people want to record them sometimes but that isn't the problem I'm having.

TIA

PS I don't watch live tv at all on this system so I'm fairly sure that's not it.

It sounds to me like perhaps the recent card addition caused problems someplace. Perhaps see if the cards are sharing IRQs & try moving the cards to other slots, and/or check to see if there are updated drivers for the tuners. Also try not using standby for the time being.
