I thought on medium settings one could record a hour at only around 2gb? Do I have a setting wrong somewhere? My PVR-150MCE is set to medium record settings. I also set my recordings in MP to medium.

    Hi,

    I have also problems with the quality settings on my PVR cards. On the PVR 350 it does not work at all.

    The settings for the PVR 150 work, if you set the quality explicitly for each recording! So after you sheduled the recording you can set the quality to eg. medium. The standard setting seems not to be used...

    HTH, Flip.

    I tried that but it didn't seem to change from defaut. Only setting that you can really tell a difference in is low.

    Should I disable to quality control in the MP setup under my PVR-150MCE settings?

    This is strange. Why should LOW work and medium not? Hmmm. computers are a mysterium...

    Yes, you could give this a try. Thats what I am doing with my PVR 350. I use the Hauppauge Tweak Tool to set the bitrate external and MP does not change it. So this is quite ok.

    HTH, Flip.

    Good to hear you got it working.(y) I have attached a screenshot of my Power Scheduler settings and, yes my TV does stay off when a scheduled recording starts.

    Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix. Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...
