Failing Recordings

[Phattz88]

Hi,

 

I run the same recordings each night and most times 2 of the channels will either start recording than randomly stop/start recording for the remaining timer set. Last night for instance, both BBC1HD & BBC2HD started recording ok, after around an hour the recording stopped but looks to of randomly started backup a short time later thus repeating the rest of the night.

 

Also from last night both Channel 4 HD & Channel 5 HD also had the same issue.

 

I've had this issue for a couple of months so have done a fresh install of windows 10, all latest drivers, new hard drive & Power supply. Both cards run on there own Sata power cable direct to the PSU. I've also tried each tv card in different PCI slots but same results with everything I've tried.

All DVBViewer/MediaServer options are default apart from the recording locations.

Have attached a screenshot of DVBMediaserver, I have the same issue if I run all recordings on 1 tv card.

 

I'm in the UK so recording from Freesat. channels I have issues with mostly are BBC1 HD & BBC2 HD

 

TV Cards:

TBS 6909

TBS 6904

Spec:

i5 4570

16 DDR3 RAM

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

cheers

Either your TBS card or your outdoor equipment is not working reliably. There are a lot of error messages in your svcdebug.log, suggesting corrupted or missing data, like
