Prof 7301 Update
Update: Have been using a Prof 7301 in Windows XP and TSReader 2.8.47c for a couple of months now without any problems. This setup is used for HD recordings made from AMC-21 (PBS), Tp 24. Below is a sample batch file:
@ECHO OFF
REM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following lines does the work
MD H:\MPEG4\Nova\Australia
START TSReader -s TSReader_DVBSBDASource.dll -r 3 H:\MPEG4\Nova\Australia\Australia4.TS 3720 12180 0 30000 10750 1 {1}
Windows scheduler is used to call the batch file at the desired time, it can do this while the PC is in the standby mode. After the recording is finished the PC goes back into standby mode. I really like this arrangement because the HTPC is in the media room and I can edit the batch files plus make any changes to the Windows scheduler from the office XP PC. Had to use a Global Caché GC-100-12 (plus a small external circuit) to put the HTPC back into standby mode after editing batch files and/or changing the Windows scheduler.
The HTPC Windows scheduler does not show up in my Windows 8 Pro office PC. Not sure why and have not looked into this.
