nova-t 500 freezing htpc (1 Viewer)

[dcope]

Hello
having some truble with a nova-t 500 running on a7n8xe board, its installed fine done the dvb fix seems fine correct version numbers, drivers are from the 4.4 haupage cd, can view tv through it, but it seems to be locking the computer up, no crash just freezes when ie when starting time shifting from the manual control, it will start and it seems fine then ill stop the time shift and it will lock up. but can do full channel scan on both tuners without issue.

any one any ideas?

lastes svn tvserver, other card nova-t works fine

Same tvcard here, which works fine, can i ask if it works correctly with its own software, personally use the mce driver 4.3.25080.0, which has not changed in a year (check device manager).

Also a seperate timeshift folder (even if its inside the recording folder) is a good idea. plus for recording purposes after standby, latest svn recommended as there was a important fix done after the release of MP1.0RC1.

Make sure you have .ts as the the recording format.

TVServer config\general set delay to detect cards on resume to 20 seconds, powerscheduler reinitiliase tuner, enable.

Just about all i can think of to get t500 to work correctly atm

update tried it in another pc, setup and ran fine with all the patches i put on the other so reinstalled the original pc and got the same issue again, looks like they just dont like each other, a 2gig p4 with a gig of ram should still sufice for what it needs and i get a better secondary gaming rig, so its a loose win win work type odf thing, ah well screwdriver over weekend

Don't know if i can help, but i had a similar issue where my WHS ( windows home server ) would BSOD at random . I have 2 x Nova-T 500 tuners
Turns out that the problem was caused by one file, USBEHCI.SYS which resides in c:\windows\system32\drivers .
I replaced the file with an older version from Windows XP and all problems dissapeared.
My system is now purring along just fine...

I have attached a copy of the file, but remember to backup your local file first.
You may have to turn off windows file protection as well and do everything in safe mode.

cheers

let us know how you go.

Beware updating the usbehci file with the one given for download...

Mmm - I just tried replacing the usnehci.sys file on my machine which had the same problems and then it wouldn't boot at all - blue screens everywhere even booting to command prompt. :-(

Thank God I'd made a backup and could restore it from the windows boot CD.

I've still got the same problem, though. I'll now try the changes suggested by Paranoid.

Make sure you are not using a root drive for recording ie. D:\, make sure its D:\Recordings or Timeshifting.
