Check to see if your Video Card Drivers are up to date.
Inside the DTV2PC application, click on the Menu button at the bottom, then System Setup, if you click on Help
-there are nine total pages of help. Check some of those ideas mentioned in the Help section.
Good possibility you have an address conflict and when it worked, last night, the device in conflict was not on. I have had that issue a few times in the past. Just a thought.
Be sure that you rebooted any DHCP addressed devices since you replaced your router to rebuild it's table. Otherwise the problem will go away once the old reservation time expires and the device renews its lease.
2. The attached file is a list of the known Directv2pc errors and help that I have.
Directv2pc Playback Advisor all green?
New Video card?
any other new hardware?
Are all of your cooling fans working properly?
Have you checked your Power Supplies from BIOS or using a program like Everest?
BTW, I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit here and Directv2pc works very well.
I have never seen an APPCRASH here using Directv2pc and I've been using it for over two years.
Ive given up on this app. It always says cant connect to the receiver. Though if thats the case, how does it know whats recorded? Its also the old blue UI from years ago. I'm on a core i7 sony laptop with 8GB RAM and dual 128GB SSD drives in RAID-0. AMD dedicated graphics as well. It's a pretty powerhouse of a laptop but this app just doesn't work. I'm connected to wifi N, yes N - NOT G, NOT B... but N, at 116 mbps. That's 16 mbps faster than 100mbps lan. If a transponder carrys 44 mbps and there's 6 HD programs on it, than that means a single recording should be about 7.33 mbps. That's WELL under even 54mbps G speeds, which I am TWICE as fast.

Do you have DEP on for all apps or just MS Apps and Services? It is in the Control Panel, System, Advanced Settimgs area. I have solved c0000005 access violations in the past in other apps by excluding the app from DEP or try turnimg DEP off for a test.

Hmmm well isn't this interesting. I was looking under my network properties and I sometimes use a VPN service. Even when I'm not connected to the vpn there is a TAP adapter. I disabled it and playback worked fine...Hmmmm. Wondering if that was it.
Wanted to share this. I've gone through a few periods with the "Can't connect to update server" and D2PC almost showing a program, but failing just as it was ready to start. I have just come out of one of those. Here is what happened:
I am a "chrome browser" user. I had an issue with some site or feature that was not working correctly in Chrome, so I went to fire up "Internet Explorer" (In my case, IE 10). Turns out I had IE issues, and was getting APPCRASH's in IE. I didn't know it because I don't use IE.
The fix for the IE issue was
· Close any Internet Explorer windows
· Click Start
· Click Control Panel
· Open Internet Options (you may have to switch from category view to icons to find this)
· Click the Advanced tab
· Click Reset…
· Click Reset
· Click Close
· Click OK
· Open Internet Explorer
This also cured Direct2PC! Apparently some IE related stuff making the D2PC app nutty.
Worked for me
YMMV
I have the Dishanywhere application. Makes DTV2Home look Stone Age.
