Your post was a year ago and I still have the same problem as Wayne, the original poster of this topic, and additionally VRS stops working if left waiting to record whether manually or automatically after a random interval which can be between a few minutes to a couple of hours. The latest version (5.15) has not changed this problem. Restarting the programme always cures the situation untill the next time the fault occurs.
This problem makes VRS completely unreliable as a recording system which is a great pity since it works so well when it does work.
