[QUOTE="Mr Hipp, post: 50127, member: 19440"] Hi I have having big problems with my recordings lately (I have analog cable), so I decided to investigate the problem. There is a bug in the TvCardCollection constructor. It reads the serialized definition of a TV card, but it turns out that this definition is not complete. Two members are missing _isAnalogCable, _defaultCountryCode, so when this was read, the two missing memebers was set to false/0. Causing every recording to record static. The fix for this is quite easy: Add the following code to the constructor: ... SoapFormatter c = new SoapFormatter(); ArrayList cards = (ArrayList)c.Deserialize(r); int i = 1; foreach (TVCaptureDevice dev in cards) { // Must be done since _isAnalogCable, _defaultCountryCode is not made serializable! // In future; consider make them serializable and remove this. dev.ID = i++; dev.LoadDefinitions(); _tvcards.Add(dev); } r.Close(); ...
