Error Code 0xC0040524 in WMC

Or error code 0xC004050B.  I have these two codes given as a reason WMC didn't record a certain show.  It's the same one every week.  Any suggestions as to what's going on? 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.  I do have some questions as to why you think this would work with the following additional information.  I have other shows that do record on the same day on the same channel before and after the show that never works on that day.  The results show does record the next day every time.  So, it would seem the above solution would be for if nothing was recording at all.  How will reinstalling the TV tuner card fix this problem if it works at other times?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The error codes may be related to faulty  tv tuner drivers so I  suggested you,and it happens intermittently.

What tv tuner are you using and what connection is there?

I'm using the Hauppauge 2250 which is PCIe.  I thought that maybe it was because it was trying to record three shows, but that's not the case.  I also have Beyond TV running, but I make sure they don't overlap.  Except for this one show, this method seems to be working.  Eventually I'll quit using BTV, but WMC isn't the easiest program to use so it's taking some time.

I updated the drivers today (Monday).  This is the day that particular show doesn't record, so I'll let you know if it records today.

It appears the show that wasn't recording on Monday did record this time, however, it still showed an error as not recording on one of the other HD tuners.  That is an improvement since before it tried all four tuners, HD and analog without any success.  So, why would WMC attempt to record the same show on a different tuner? 

Thanks

OK, I'm running setup again.  I do have another question.  I noticed WMC misses WGN and TBS which I can get on BTV.  I tried adding TBS on 79-1, and it comes up, but there's no guide data since it doesn't know what network it is.  Is there a way to get the guide data for a channel that's added?  I found a work around once before by finding some other channel, but I can't find that option again.  Thanks.
