Noob Help! WS wont record and program tries to close Options

[frank351]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently running vista 32x and using dntv live dual digital pci card. I am trying to use WS for the first time and am having troubles.

I have the EPG running fine from EPGStream.net and the problem is when a schedule is selected to record or obtain epg update, I get a windows error saying:

DNTV Scheduler Pro Capture Application stopped working and was closed. The schedule logs says:

It looks like WS thinks the card is busy but its not in use at all.

Have any of you got any ideas for me?

I have dntv live, windows media centre working fine.

Thanks

Quite possible the MS ehrecvr.exe service has a lock on the dtv device and preventing it from being used. Disable the service and try again.

I tried it but it still doesn't work. I have a few tv applications installed, I might try uninstall all of them and see if that helps.

I have noticed that my tv guide from epgStream runs on same port 8088 as WS. Could this be a problem?
