'No Signal' failure on stop recording

[gibbo9000]

Have had a minor bug in VMC for a while now - not sure how to fix.

When recording on one tuner and watching the second, when the recording stops it frequently throws the dreaded 'No Signal' error and associated Blue Screen. Recovery is easiest by closing and reopening WMC. Is independent of TV tuner card (as have just upgraded from Terratec to Hauppage 2200 and issue has remained). Using IceTv with its recording padding.

Any ideas?

Hi gibbo9000

The symptoms you describe sound exactly the same that I encountered a few weeks ago.
The only difference is the operating system. MCE 2005.

When I did a recording and hit stop. It would bring up the no signal screen just as you described in your thread.
I thought it had locked up. But it hadn't. It would take up to 30 or 40 seconds to start running normally again.
I eventually tracked the problem down to the anti virus I had on my system.
When I turned the anti virus off, MCE runs normally.
If I turn the anti virus back on again. The problem returns.
This is odd because I’ve had the same antivirus program for nearly 2 years now without any indication of conflict.
I have the same anti virus program on my Vista rig and it runs perfectly.
I haven’t been able to resolve this issue to date. Unless I shut the antivirus off whilst recording.
I put it down to a conflict between the anti virus and video codec running on my system.
Switch your anti virus off and see if you can record without the problem happening.
