Full Version: How do I setup a Hauppauge HVR 1600 so I can watch VCR, etc...?

For those who may remember me, I did get the parts to build my rig and it's up and running for the most part. Yah!

My question now is, how do I setup the analog part of the tuner in GBPVR to use a VCR? (What I am really after is being able to hook up a TR-40 Dish box, and sometimes switch to a VCR, but I thought that might be a bit confusing.)

I have managed to get the Hauppauge software to find ch3, but I am totally lost as to how to do the same in GBPVR. I have other questions, but that's the most pressing one at the moment.
In the config app, create a new analog capture source, with the input set to svideo or composite or 'fixed channel, external tuner' and the appropriate channel number. Set the EPG Source to 'none', then manually add a channel called 'AV1' or 'Composite' or similar. It'll then show up as a channel option like all the other channels.
That did the trick, thank you!!Big Grin
