I have stopped MP completely and left tbsviewer running for nearly 24 hours (pip) - it worked. So the latest "evidence" is that if the card is switching a channels it will eventually freeze. This is supported by 1) using MP and an extended recording schedule the MP log shows the tuner bein...

yes the Hauppauge has been removed soon after fitting the tbs6891 as the tbs6891 just wouldn't work with it installed - I replaced it with a USB DVB-T receiver (peak) which appeared to work. However since encountering the most recent problems that has also been removed. I have no other cards install...

an interesting overnight test. I set the system up to record on and off all night but without the system suspending down between recordings. All appeared Ok - I got 7 recordings but number 8 broke it. The card just didn't tune -so the next 8 recordings failed. The machine never switched off and was ...

I am a little closer to the problem. It appears that once the card gets into the failing state it may allow recording but it then stops providing data after around 1min and 10secs. MP does not detect any problem but the recording is short - 1min 10sec. I have now decided to stop the m/c going into s...

I have removed the possibly conflicting dvb-t card (peak usb) and set up a whole sequence of recordings separated by sufficient to cause standby before the next recordings. They all fired but only the first few really worked (i.e. the whole program was recorded). The later ones recorded but only the...

yes I have updated to the latest driver. Some further information . The problems may be related to having another card in the box - a problem I have seen and others have also reported a number of times I replaced a Hauppauge PCI card soon after buying the TBS card as they would not coexist - the TBS...

I have been struggling with this card, which I bought to replace a compro card, for around six months - it nearly works but............. I thought there were two problems but it looks like they are really different manifestations of the same one. Most noticeable is the failure to record (I use Media...

Hi, I believe I am suffering the same problem. I use MediaPortal and sometimes when the PC restarts to record the recording appears to work from an MediaPortal view (i.e. it logs that it is recording BUT the file produced is small and not valid. Other times when I just want to use MediaPortal to vie...

The Hauppauge uses a VIA USB chip on the PCI card with their USB devices(DVB_T chip) on the USB

I didn't think the TBS had a USB chip on the PCIe card so I don't quite understand. Bottom line I suspect a driver interaction issue.

cheers

The card in question is a Hauppauge NOVA-T-500 (dual DVB-T card). (its a PCI card with two DVB-T receivers hanging off a USB interface) I now have a Peak USB card (dual). This appears to work OK but I am still having some problems with timed recordings. Not all are completing and this may be due to ...
