Not to worry. I installed it this morning. I notice that you're now up to 1.2.1. I've now encountered a new problem in that the recording of a TV program I attempted this morning didn't record. I hibernated the computer in advance of this. The computer turned on at the appointed time but no recording materialized. What am I doing wrong or missing?

Thanks for the logs 
I'm guessing the program was "Live With Regis and Kelly" on "6-1 WPVIDT"?
The channel is marked as encrypted (red icon in the "TV Channels" section of TV Server configuration) and your tuner is marked as not having a CAM (meaning it can't decrypt encrypted channels - CAMs are the rest-of-the-world equivalent of a CableCard). The "quick and dirty" way to fix this is to simply mark the tuner as having a CAM by editing the tuner settings as described in our wiki -->here<--; the proper way to fix it is to get the channels marked as free-to-air if they are free, and you can do that by rescanning your channels (no need to delete them - rescan should update the details correctly) or editing the tuning details for each channel manually (go to TV Channels section of TV Server configuration, select channel with red icon that you know is actually free, click edit, select tuning detail row, click edit, tick "free to air", click OK, click OK... and repeat).

Thanks for the quick replies. I attempted your suggestion. However, upon the first click of "OK" I was asked to "Please enter a valid frequency." This happens for every channel. The frequency for each channel reads "-1". What should it be? By the way, these are all free-to-air broadcast TV stations.

That might be a bug - we really should have separate channel types for QAM and ATSC. I'll look into it...
Did you try the rescan option. It won't rename your channels and would be much faster.
I rescanned in TV server and the test recording that I made seemed to work well. So I scheduled a number of shows to record last night but they didn't. I, obviously, don't know why this was and so the logs are attached.
