It has been a long long time since I touched one of those, but I would always look at the root causes of the hangs first..... The two most common issues with the HVR-1950 that I ran into is that it can overheat (and hang) and the power supply can be going bad (and the device hangs). For the first, I found avoiding stacking them (which I had been doing) was sufficient to avoid overheating (although your location may vary and you may need active airflow), and for the second, I replaced the power adapter. FWIW, I don't think any of the power adapters that I ever got from Hauppauge were of good quality, and I usually just replaced them pro-actively with a high quality switching supply (at the time I had a local source of delta branded oem switching supplies that were dirt cheap and new in box). Note that you typically can't just use a VOM on the adapter to test, you have to put the adapter under load and look at the ripple. Usually just easier to replace the power supply. And none of this was actually in response to the question you asked... _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
