The Recorded TS file doesn't update!! Have to push refresh for it to Update(Change File Size). Had to resort to and auto Keyboard Clicker and this quite likely gave me at least one virus!!! Don't know why it Doesn't update The file size when NextPvr does and they both record in TS. Also tried really hard to install Extensions(Plugins) and Couldn't. Also don't know whey I Have To push the arrow to Set a Program Time and Date. Should be able to input time and date with keyboard like Windows Media Center!!
In addition to MS SQL server, it also installs MySQL! Sorry, but that is too much for my old netbook. Will try to find another options..
