Hello,
My issue may lie in my installation as I did not download and install .NET 2.0 because, according to Microsoft, W7 x64 Home Edition supports it out of the box. I also did not download and install Direct X 9.0 since, as of a few months ago, I downloaded and installed the latest Direct X Runtime environment. I understand that, though current, this isn't what the 'before installation' asked for and as a result may not have installed all files necessary.
Regardless, when I go to Scan Channels under any of the tuners I receive a message that the device is unable to be started. I know that Avermedia support is nonexistent outside of WMC but it seems other members managed to fix this . Unfortunately, I am unable to find a bda.ini file anywhere on my computer, including the NPVR folder. Should the bda.ini file be somewhere or do I need to create it? Should simple un/reinstalling NextPVR solve the problem or is it more complicated than that?
Some useless background info:
I've been using WMC7 with 2 Avermedia HD Duets (one a Newegg white box, one from Fry's) with great success since 2010. I have an XBox 360 to use as an extender, and just about all the time it works flawlessly. I am, however, DONE with the lack of codec support built-in to this setup. Being the codec pack averse freak that I am and lover of XBMC and even my Boxee Box (despite its flaws), I have concluded that I want to take control of my legal OTA recordings and play them back with ease on any media player setup I choose. NextPVR recently popped up in -- I think -- an Engadget or maybe ArsTechnica article and, needless to say, I'm excited to give this a try. What you guys do is akin to magic for a peon like me, I think it's great that a program like this even exists, much less offers support.
