Hi,
I have a Miglia TVMax (with eyetv 2.3.1 software). There is a problem with its recording. Basically i kept getting a lot of 0 KB recordings. The recording counter would be stuck at 0 seconds. After a lot of effort i found the problem.
It happens only when eyetv software is running and the computer goes to sleep. (software is open on the dock when the computer sleeps). when the scheduled time comes, it wakes the computer. if it is the first wake-up since the program has been started, it will record it properly. now if the computer sleeps again after recording, the second time when it wakes the computer, the recording will not take place.
if i try the following steps this error happens -
1. start eyetv. my option of 'open live tv window at startup' in preferences is off
2. schedule a recording for few minutes hence.
3. put computer to sleep.
4. computer will wake up at the recording time. THIS TIME RECORDING
WILL START PROPERLY.
5. now stop the recording.
6. schedule another recording, for few minutes hence. DO NOT QUIT
EYETV SOFTWARE.
7. put the computer to sleep.
8. again computer will wake up when recording time arrives.
9. This time recording will not take place. the window will be stuck
at "This channel is currently not available".
so basically if i have 3 recordings scheduled in the night. say there
is a gap of 30 minutes between them. The first recording will take
place. then the computer goes to sleep automatically (i have sleep
setup after 15 minutes of inactivity). when it wakes up for the next
one, no recording takes place. and same for 3rd.
also, the problem seems to be with the tuning. If i do this -
1. start eyetv. put on the live tv window. let the channel be running.
2. while live tv window is on, put the computer to sleep.
3. wake computer by pressing any key.
4. now the tuner tries to tune back the channel. it first says 'a moment please..' or something and then 'this channel is not currently available'.
Anyone else having the same problem? Kindly help
