I use HD Homerun and EPG123 to DVR shows through WMC on an old windows 7 machine. Within the last few weeks, live tv and recordings off of the local CW 56.1 have a strobe/flicker effect. It seems to only affect main shows. Most commercials, news, lesser daytime tv shows on the same station are...

I've seen this on a forum I manage...a bot grabs a real post, and uses it to post some links (see the bottom of the first post).
Interesting, but if you compare the posts, they are not completely identical.
All other stations/shows look/record fine.

Hello. Cox Cable just pulled a fast one, moving a day early to eliminate the 1000-and-higher channels from their lineup. I am trying to assign the lower version of those channels in the same order they were on, as they are now HD instead of SD, but each time I add, say channel 470 for The Weather...

Do a forum search for video redo and VAP. Video redo is around a hundred bucks. VAP is kind of like a front end for video redo that can automate your conversions. VAP can also use comskip or video redos built in ad detective

Weighing future options, I have two quick questions that are related but separate:

Our main WMC PC has been going strong for almost nine years now and I figure the Ceton is bound to conk out sooner or later. So I stocked up with some used models from eBay. Good to know we can probably switch it out when the time comes, without risking the copy-once...

One additional suggestion. I once heard it was the amount of change that would break DRM. You might see if you can add a disk and if DRM does not break, then try cloning the system disk to a SSD. (i.e. perhaps having the additional disk will keep DRM from seeing as big a delta when changing the...
