Hello MM,

Thanks for responding to this thread.

I noticed this issue just over a week ago, when I started to use this new system I had set up using Windows 8 (previous system is Windows 7, with Mediaportal 1.3.0, but had no issues) in proper production use, it started last Saturday, when I recorded 'Eurovision Song Contest' and at the same time watched it (there was no other programme scheduled to record, and I did not go into another channel), and noticed that it was still recording long after the concert had finish broadcasting, so I attempted to stop recording within Mediaportal, and it did nothing, I then discovered that Mediaportal became 'hung' and non-responsive, so I waited, hoping that it sort itself out, which it didn't after 5 mins, so I then terminated Mediaportal via task manager, and went back into Mediaportal, and found that it was still recording the same programme, so I exit from mediaportal, and went into Service Management, to restart TVSERVICE, but it wont let me do this, saying it timed out, at this stage I had to reboot the system, this seems to be an on going issue now.

So this is just one programme being recorded, and whilst watching the same channel, and yet give problems. But what's interesting is why it won't let me 'stop' recording in mediaportal or why it wont allow me to restart TV service - so is there an underlying issue going on?

If there is anyway I can assist in debugging this issue, then please do let me know, I would be happy to get this sorted, as I have already reinstalled Mediaportal, but are still getting the same issue, otherwise I have to revert to my old system, unless it's Windows 8 causing this problem (as I have two pc's that are on Windows 7, (and this is my first Windows 8) and are not exhibiting this problem)?

Regards.
