Help needed with HDTVFusion5 Gold

[bnam]

Hi,
I'm a new to PVR on PC and just installed the Fusion5 to watch record OTA HD. I'ev installed GBPVR in addition to the Fusion s/w and with help of the Wiki have been able to get it mostly working. Only issue I currently see is that I am unable to play back recordings. The recordings show up in the menu, but when selected stay blank and when I try to exit, GB-PVR crashes.

Could it be related to the mux? I currently have MS DVR-MS selected. I am running Win XP Pro sp2 (P4 2.8HT, GeForce 5200, on board stereo). After reading thru the sticky and the wiki, it seems GB-PVR should have picked up the mux that should have been installed by Fusion5 (zulu something or the other). But this does not show up as an option on the mux list. In playback, I have zulu hdtv decoder selected.

How do I get the zulu mux to show up on the list, or alternatively is there some other setting I should be checking/changing?

thanks.

There is no zulu mux. I'd recommend either the MS DVR-MS or Cyberlink mux. That said, the mux is only relevant during recording. The zulu decoder should be selected for playback, since it does a good job with HDTV content.

Can you playback the recordings outside of GB-PVR?

Do the files look to be reasonable size on disk?

Can you view the channel in question in the Live TV function?

Yes, I can record playback outside of GBPVR (it works with teh Fusion s/w). The file looks of reasonable size (8GB for 1 hr HD). I will try again -- perhaps I did not have the correct settings when I first recorded.

I can veiw the channel in Live TV function.

I just checked a recording I just made and it plays back -- so looks like it is working now.

Thanks.

Hi, bnam, I've got a quick question. My understanding from dvico's website is that this card had qam support. Are you able to bypass your stb, or have are you still using it?

Thanks

It only supports unencrypted QAM. In my case, I got a few of my locals.
