    Recorded nothing but silence

    Did this start for you guys last week or so? That's when I began having the dead air problem.

    Recorded nothing but silence

    Me too. I give up. Software says i have good signal strength (the usual 33% stuff) but silence. If I jiggle the antenna around i sporadically get sound for awhile. Possibly a bad antenna. I dunno. I give up. Now that they stream stern, I am (starting today) doing the following: 1) launch...

    Problems with Time Trax

    Does that prog solve the timetrax problem? if so i'd love to try it.

    Problems with Time Trax

    the "Deleted directory" thing might be a red herring. Awhile ago there was a thread about it; the directory vanishes and then comes back (when you quit the program? when it's done recording? cannot recall). I cannot remember if they admitted this happens or not, but I've seen it and it doesn't...

    registration?

    I was launching the one from the "frequently used" list in the start menu, which for some reason temporarily caused the "on-line" version to launch. powering off my computer and turning it back on resolved the target. Somehow. I have no idea how that's possible. (I had never launched the on-line...

    registration?

    i rebooted. no good. powered system off and back on, and now it's fine. looks like for some reason it thought i was trying to load tt online instead of tt. (never heard of tt online until i did some poking around.) whatever.

    registration?

    For some reason my TT now says I am unregistered. I re-entered the registration code and it gives some sort of 107 error saying that it recognizes the code, but that code is not for xm online. Whatever that means. I use the thing for sirius. something has gone badly awry.

    Reboot/program closing problems with Sirius + AMD Athlon 64 X2

    crazy Your "knowledgebase" is ridiculous. Examples: "BSOD with P4 Processor (Hyper Threading)": You give the solution of disabling the second cpu. Nowhere do you explain that for a true dual-core processor this halves your machine's performance. (The hit isn't as bad for disabling...

    Done & finished....

    Argh Had stern set to record at 3am. It got 204KB into my recording (out of 219,000KB) before dying, apparently. "The instruction at "0x7c9111e0" referenced memory at "0x00000030". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program." I still have NEVER had it record two...

    36 hours and then it SUCKS

    Never do get an answer as to what it is that the software is sending when it phones home on channel changes, do we?

    Latest Version - 1.6 - Released

    Yeah, I've had two reboots so far. Once when it was just about to start recording, and once when it was near done recording. But at least it's still spewing packets back to home, because that's so useful to all of us.

    36 hours and then it SUCKS

    hey, i wonder if that is why channel changes are so slow.

    36 hours and then it SUCKS

    If they remove their internet connection requirement they won't be able to auction off your listening habits to the highest bidder :-) (I don't know if they collect that information or not, but when i asked earlier, no one answered)

    Latest Version - 1.6 - Released

    Dumb question: the last two times timetrax has crashed for me overnight was the day the .30 beta came out and today (1.6 came out). Each time I was running the previous version (.27 beta, .30 beta). Any chance that there is code in there that is watching for new versions that is somehow...

    Version 1.5 Specific Thread

    Garbage - no internet connection Am using this version. This morning woke up and found that despite perfectrax/splittrax being off, instead of having one 5+ hour mp3 i had a bunch of little mp3s. I checked the recording log and found that over the course of an hour it reported, multiple...

    Terrestrial Strength shows as 0%

    i have never seen it say more than 33% either. Usually i get 33% on two or three of the inputs, with 0 on whichever one isn't 33%.

    AMD X2 + USB 2.0= blue screens, my solution inside

    i'm surprised if the TT is stressing the usb connection. what's it doing other than sending song titles over the link (assuming you're not rapidly sending channel-change commands to the unit, etc.) Shouldn't require much bandwidth.

    Stern files too big for iPod

    My ipod photo seems to have no problem dealing with the 5-6 hour mp3 recorded at 128/stereo. What bit rate are you using, and what kind of ipod? (to answer your other question, had no problem recording the east coast morning feed - i'm on the west coast).

    Recording Howard Stern

    ff/rw seem to work great on an ipod, fwiw. I wrote a cgi script to package it up into a podcast (on my internal server) so itunes automatically finds it, marks it as "resume from stop," and copies it into the library and onto my ipod in the morning. I'm lucky - i leave the house after 8 so it's...

    Recording Howard Stern

    yeah, i turned all that stuff off. i get one 5.5 hour file (i record long since on the radio he sometimes went over.)

    channel changer not working, makes this product completely unreliable

    Other things that don't work: mute button (sometimes mutes, sometimes doesn't. sometimes pressing it twice mutes but then the checkbox says not muted. and it would be nice if mute muted the monitor (speakers) but still allowed recording. Also, on the schedule, if i click on a pull down for...

    Recording Howard Stern

    what are you guys using for bit rate/format? i recorded the first 2 days at 128 stereo mp3 and am hearing quite a bit of echo. though it may be in the feed (given my relatively poor satellite reception) and not the encoding. Tonight i'll probably try higher bit rate. Also want to set up...

    Recording unreliable

    It was a mitsumi combo drive (floppy and multi-card reader). Don't remember the model number at the moment. I used a similar model from another mfg on my other machine and had the same experience.

    Recording unreliable

    when i installed the card readers i go the "new hardware detected ... serial <-> usb device" popup, so i assume it's using such a driver for something. Perhaps only when a card is inserted.
