I thought I had a work around by changing these settings under "Capture Card Setup" -> "Recording Options":
check -> "Open DVB card on demand" un-check -> "Use DVB Card for active EIT scan" Prior to these changes, I was seeing 3-5 failed recordings per week. But since, I haven't had a failed recording, until today, in 18 days. So, not a valid work around at all, but these setting changes do seem to have some impact on this issue. The log from this latest failed recording is: [...] 2008-07-26 19:59:29.744 TVRec(6): ASK_RECORDING 6 29 0 0 2008-07-26 19:59:29.850 TVRec(4): ASK_RECORDING 4 29 0 0 2008-07-26 20:00:02.699 TVRec(4): Changing from None to RecordingOnly 2008-07-26 20:00:02.739 TVRec(4): HW Tuner: 4->4 2008-07-26 20:00:03.160 AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 3.0 GB w/freq: 8 min 2008-07-26 20:00:03.166 Started recording: The Office "Branch Wars": channel 1021 on cardid 4, sourceid 1 2008-07-26 20:00:03.565 DTVSM(1) Error: Wrong PMT; pmt->pn(3) desired(1) 2008-07-26 20:00:03.568 Program #1 not found in PAT!
