Hi all,
After getting the kids to bed last night, I checked to see if the HiPix was recording the X-Files series finale. I took a look at the HTPC and noticed that the HDD LED was showing no activity, which was a bad sign.
I fired up my monitor and saw that there was an error dialog in the HiPix application. The error indicated that there was signal loss, check the antenna, or something like that. First I checked that Fox was coming in fine with my monitor's tuner (a Zenith). Then I went back to the HiPix. I tried stopping the recording, but still no signal. I quit and restarted the HiPix and it came up with no signal problems. The HiPix started recording, but I'd already lost 45 minutes of the show.
This is the second time that I've lost an X-Files due to apparent HiPix software problem. The first time was with the original HiPix software, something to do with a timed recording glitch. The last time was with the latest AVS beta. The show seems to be cursed when it comes to the HiPix. Maybe I should report the problem to the FBI as an X-File ;-)
It's times like this that *really* make me wish that Tivo or Replay would step up to the plate and provide us with a consumer HD capable PVR...
Best regards,
