Newbie in need of setup help

[guyanansharma]

I've probably spent 16 hours now trying to get GB-PVR to wok with my VBox Cats Eye USB 3560 ATSC tuner. I've also read a lot of the treads and they have been quite helpfull. Here is a little history of what I've done.

HP Laptop
Microsoft Windows XP (Media Center Edition) Version 2002
Service Pack 2
AMD Turion 64 Mobile ML-37
1.99 GHz, 1GB RAM


Configured VBox Cats Eye USB 3560 (ATSC) {used Graph Edit}
Set up Zap2it EPG
Mapped digital channels
Disabled Media Center services
Started GB-PVR and able to see EPG

Click on Live TV and I see the signal light (VBox Cats Eye) for reception turns on but I get a Black screen with no video and no error.

For some reason (after a few days) the EPG now does not show up!!!
(But the Update EPG works and my subscription has not expired and I have a line up.)

Set DBA Multiplexer to "Microsoft DVR-MS" since using XP SP2

Added latest version of NativeUtilities.dll (had to stop GB Recording service)

Ran MuxChecker and found nothing, so I then did the following
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mpg2splt.ax
Ran Muxchecker again and still "NO MULTIPLEXER FILTERS FOUND"

Sorry but there is nothing obvious in your logs. No errors. Everything looks as it should be.

Ran MuxChecker and found nothing, so I then did the following
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mpg2splt.ax
Ran Muxchecker again and still "NO MULTIPLEXER FILTERS FOUND"

mpg2splt.ax is not an MPEG2 Multiplexer. It is is a MPEG2 Demultiplexer, so it will not show up on Mux Checker.

While you dont have any extra muxes installed (like Cyberlink), you do have the Microsoft DVR-MS mux, which is present on all Windows XP SP2 and above machines. It seems to successfully be using this mux in the logs.
