SageTV Records wrong channel

[klunde]

Now I just discovered another issue with my timed recordings. I have a SageTV server using 3 PVR500 cards with 24/7 recording using 1 hour long timed recordings for 4 different channels. Now yesterday SageTV decided to record the wrong channel on one of the recordings. It now records what actually is channel #80 wheras it should have recorded channel #119. Looking at the recording details SageTV claims to have recorded channel #119.

Every recording of this channel after this time is now wrong.

What is this and is there a way to fix this / avoid it in the future or is it a confirmed bug in v5.0.2?

I know that for me with DirecTV if I do not subscribe to certain channels and I do not have them disabled in the source setup and I try to change to that channel then the cable box just stays on the same channel.

The only other thing I can think of is your setup is messed up as to how you have your Sage Server setup to change the channels on the different boxes. How many cable boxes do you have on your system and how are you having SageServer change the channel (via IR or serial)? If it is serial, perhaps you have a cable mixed up where changing the channel on one source is changing the cable box on another. You can verify this by changing channels (or trying to) in video source setup.

I have one computer with 3 PVR-500 cards. Each card has a normal cable-tv connection and they all use the same lineup in SageTV. So its up to SageTV to change the channels the way it wants to. I had set up SageTV to not change channel if the previous recording was on the same channel, but I've changed that now in hope for this to get right, but it suspect SageTV to be very confused when there are many timed recordings with repeating schedule.
