Has anybody seen this? I usually have to delete the recorded files about every other day. I am not home now so do not have any logs to provide.

I am experiencing same problem. Have you found a solution as I can't find anything in the next PVR setup to remedy this

I've noticed on the NextPVR forum (XBMC sub-forum) that there are a few problems reported regarding streams not stopping, and trouble changing channels. Unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be a lot of activity toward fixing issues like this. No complaints, just an observation. It's free software after all.
Anyway, after a few months on Argus and then a month on NextPVR, I'm in the process of moving to MCE as my backend. NPVR seemed quite promising and IMO it's just one or two bug fixes away from being perfect, but it's just not quite stable enough for my family.

Unfortunately the fix for this was created by sub a few days too late for Frodo 12.2 but it is in 12.3. It isn't in Gotham either but I posted a link to my own update for Win32 on the NextPVR forums.

The WMC plugin appears to be perfect for most XBMC windows users and it should be the starting point but at the same time there are reasons many of us who used PVR for years opted to not use WMC. Microsoft didn't make digital TV friendly for Canadians.
Yes I meant that the xbmc PVR frontend still cannot meet 100% of my PVR requirements. Also Frodo and earlier aren't that really great mpeg-ts players. The new ffmpeg in Gotham make compatibility with broadcast streams much better, but if the improvements for fast channel changes are added somehow, there will another year and a half of complaints. I have no idea if that is better with WMC
I use Vista for a backend without issue and I can't help think that some of you issues was that you didn\t use Win7 as the NextPVR backend.

Yeah, I think XBMC isn't quite ready for people who are heavy into TV and PVR and expect it to have the same PVR functionality as a Tivo. But hopefully it'll continue improving with time.
Regarding NPVR and the operating system, you could be correct. I don't know for sure. Mce.pvr is working well for me right now, but if I encounter issues then maybe I'll try NPVR again.
Anyway, cheers. Thanks for all of this info.
