I've never used the PVR so don't know what normal looks like...

Are you able to tell if any action tries to start every four hours - if 
not
the trigger for that might be the problem, or does <something> start but
then fail to find things, or find them but fail to update the caches?

I see you mentioned: Windows x64...  Does the PVR use Windows' "task
scheduler" to run the updater every 4 hours or its own mechanism?  If it
is the task scheduler you should be able to find the set-up for that in
task scheduler & see when Windows last thought it ran it & whether it
ran ok.  You'll also see the command it runs & eg which userid it runs
under.

If something IS starting, does it create a log file when it runs?  If it
dosn't, can you change the parameters it uses so that it does create 
one?
Maybe for example there's a file permissions problem?
