  HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey
  
  OK so it seems that channels 22 and 28 seem to cause the crash when tuning. If I omit these then I can progress to updating the EPG. So everything appears to be back up and running. Many thanks for your help!

  Doh! Sorry I hadn't spotted that the section already existed. OK I managed to correct the config and start the service. One step forward.... Now when I try to tune the channels the DVROntime service repeatedly crashes after tuning four of the six channels. The message generated in the Event Log...

  OK so I was able to start the service manually - must've been a genuine timeout.... So I stopped it again, replaced the three v1.0.6 files with the equivalent files from v1.0.7, made the changes to the config file, then tried to restart the service. This time I get: "Windows could not start the...

  Removing that reg entry allowed me to uninstall and reinstall DVROntime (v1.0.6), but it failed with a timeout when trying to start the service.

  Yes that key was already set to MSSQL15E.LOCALDB, so I guess I have the correct version installed. Maybe I need to update the .Net framework???

  As an experiment, I also tried running the v1.0.6 install on a fresh (newly-installed) Windows 10 VM. That install also failed. So your theory regarding the changes to the .NET framework sounds potentially quite relevant.

  Skip and Fast Forward not working properly
  
  Sorry I missed that. I do see a pause, just over 1 second, with a blank screen, before playback starts. I usually wait until after that before I press the FF button. I find that if I FF at 1.5x or 2x I don't get the problem. Anything 4x or more and I always get taken straight back to the start...

  Hmmm....very odd. If I FF from a couple of seconds in, at 4x or 8x, until I see the newscaster, it always takes me right back to the start. Any pretty much only on the lunchtime BBC1HD news. I must have the Rita Chakrabati patch installed :D

  If you allow playback to continue for 2-3 seconds at the start of the recording, then use FF at 4x or 8x, do you still get the problem? That's what I usually do, and I get the problem every time.

  Can you try fast forwarding (at say 8x) until you get to the point where the newsreader starts speaking? That's where I have the problem. My skip is set to 4 minutes forward (for ads)

  I'm not familiar with the concept of timelines. Does this mean that there are pre-defined time points in each recording (like keyframes maybe?), and that their positioning can vary from one recording to the next?
