Hi Guys,
I'm having this problem also. It seemed to work fine before I upgraded to
MCE 2005 from MCE 2004. I looked in my event log and this is what I got:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Recording
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8
Date: 7/17/2005
Time: 8:59:00 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SONY
Description:
The Three Stooges was not recorded. A tuner failure occurred and no other
tuners were available at the time of recording.
I also had this error at the same time:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Media Center Scheduler
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 7/17/2005
Time: 8:59:00 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SONY
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Media Center Scheduler )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see
Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
Unable to communicate with Set-top Box..
Who can I chat with to anaylse the data for these errors? I can't rely on
MCE to record my shows anymore. It's so intermmitent and it's frustrating
me...
Help
