Constant PVR-USB2 Lock-ups

[plawlor]

I have a system with 2 x PVR-350s and 1 x PVR-USB2. Both 350s work great and never give me trouble. They are both connected to satellite receivers via Svideo. The PVR-USB2 is connected to a TV Antenna via the Tuner. Every time I try to watch that channel, the picture freezes solid after 5-10 minutes. Sage does not lock. I can go back to the guide and select any of the satellite channels, but the Tuner channel will not unfreeze. I have to shutdown and restart Sage to bring the Tuner back. Anyone else seeing this?

I've never had such a problem with my pvr-usb2. Have you installed the latest drivers for it?

Do you have the same problem with it if you try to use it with the Hauppauge software? If so, perhaps try Hauppauge tech support too.

also remember when you are istalling the new drivers to run hcw.clear.exe to reomove the old ones before adding the new ones
cause it does sound like a driver issue
and try another usb port when reinstalling

I am already using the latest driver. I'm going to try two things:

- Attach one of the Sat Recievers to the PVR-USB2 to see if this issue is isolated to the Tuner.
- Watch TV through WinTV2000 to see if it freezes outside of Sage

I'll report my results.

UPDATE: No lock-ups watching through WinTV2000. Lock-ups of the PVR-USB2 are only occuring in Sage. Another important piece of info - the PVR-USB2 picture only locks up when one or both of the PVR-350s are recording. When recording, a lock-up occurs every 5 minutes. When neither PVR-350 is recording, I can watch Live TV through the PVR-USB2 for over an hour without lock-up. Anyone have any ideas?
