SageTV 6-4-8, USBUIRT and Vista32

[DVBtCi]

Upgraded from XP to Vista Ultimate 32bits with same media components (just changed MB, CPU, memory)

It ran very good to a few days and then started having problems. I thought it was the router because of connection lost, Vista because of security event log errors such as HttpEvent and finally thought the PVR card or the USB-UIRT was broken. So i tried disabling elements until i found the only component not working and giving an error. This was when i found that entering Source Tuner control and selecting any option would terminate sageTV.

During the upgrade process, i passed from 6-3-10 to 6-4-8. So i went back to 6-3-8 and the Source Tuner control works again.

So i will give some time to the system and observe it's behaviour.

BUT I THINK THEIR IS SOMETHING WITH USB-UIRT and SAGETV.

Eratic problems such as
-----------------------
- connection lost with HD100
- sageTV abends in the tuner control : USB-UIRT and selecting the "Change Tuning Device" or any other option.

I ran into the same issue when I upgraded to the latest version of SageTV. I ran the lrnhelper program and verified USB-UIRT is still able to receive and transmit codes... I will post back here if I am able to resolve the issue.

I ran across a thread on how to turn on the debug window... While I was in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Frey Technologies\Common), I noticed that the IRTunerPluginsDir entry was pointing to the wrong directory. I changed the entry to point to my current common directory and the USB-UIRT started working...

If that doesn't do the trick then try turning on the debug window and see if it will give you a clue. To do this:
start, run command, regedit
navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Frey Technologies\Common
edit new DWORD
consolewin REG_DWORD 0x00000001

Hope this fixes it for you.

In the mean time, i disabled UAC because i have a few scripts running to update EPG and do some cleanup.

By such, i noticed that my MediaCenter works like in the XP days.

They (Ms) try to do things write the wrong way. . . I don't understand why in IT, it's always done the hard way!
