SageTV Video Error, need help . . .

[MATTRESS]

For some reason, out of the blue, SageTV gives me an error:

"There was a Playback Error in playback. Details:
sage.PlaybackException: ERROR (-4,0x80040217): There was a problem rendering the video portion of the content for playback. "

I'm running VMR9 with the NVDVD decoders.. ati radeon 9800 pro, PVR 500 MCE

It's been working fine for who knows how long. I just went to wake up SageTV, and now I can't watch anything...

I can playback video in WMP fine ... play 3D games, etc...

so far it seems to be the tuners, i've tried uninstalling the drivers/ reinstalling

removing them from sage, adding them to sage.. still can't get it to work

I thought it might be because I have low disk space, but I cleared up 250gigs, and still gives me trouble

edit:
FIXED!!
apparently somehow my NVDVD decoders got fux0red... I tried playing one of my pre-recorded show in WMP, and the nvdvd tray icon kept flickering off and on ... and then ended up not playing .. so I just reinstalled them, and tah-dah!
