Halt in recordings

[theguru]

Serious. This is happening almost all the time when more than one recording is going.

I have two 1600s and a 150. What could be wrong? Bad Hauppauge card? How exactly would I be able to tell?

[theguru]

No suggestions? Not even a question?

Among the possibilities...

Does the card normally work? If now, does it work with the Hauppauge software? If not, contact Hauppauge supoprt.

How many splits do you have on your line? Is the signal too weak for the card to tune consistently? Maybe you need a cable amp.

Conversely, are there no splits and it doesn't like a strong signal? Add a splitter.

Are you recording ATSC or QAM?

My money is on one of those plus any channel specific issues with:
KMTVDT on physical channel 45-3-1

If you watch that channel live does it have a bunch of errors in it? Does it occasionally prompt Sage to go to a "No Signal" pop up? In addition to the amps and splitters you might relook at your antenna too, assuming you use ATSC on the 1600s.

[theguru]

ATSC. I have splitter with an AMP. I have tried both on one of the two outputs on the amp, and I have tried one on each.

Once of these card is new actually. Is only new since I want to Win7 on a new machine. The other card was in my older box for a couple years. Both are 1600s.

Maybe a bad card? It does work fine with the Hauppauge software, but then it usually works ok with the Sage software as well.

Maybe swap a card out and see what happens? If I stick the exact same card in the same slot does anything with Sage need changed?

Do you have any Seagate Barracuda drives by any chance?

I was having similar issues with my HD PVR and found that I needed a firmware update for my 1.5TB barracuda drive. The firmware for my drive made a huge difference.

[theguru]

After installing some defrag software on my server this all but dissapeared. It has been a couple weeks now with no issues.

Weird.

[theguru]

The ENTIRE DRIVE dropped out today. Maybe my problem was a drive issue after all.

[theguru]

Updated drivers from Hauppage and it hasn't happened in the last two weeks. I hope finally that this can be put to bed.
