problems getting gbpvr to work

[triduc]

i just installed the ati tv wonder 550 and am trying to use gbpvr with it. i set the epg and that works. I use the tuning assistant and that tunes all the cable channels and i can see the picture clearly.

But when i use gbpvr to view the channels I just get color lines no picture but sound. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I'm using winxp home.:confused:

Do you have an MPEG2 decoder installed? I'm guessing not.

Could it be the Nvidia aspect problem causing coloured lines. Trying cycling through using F7.

(If your using a Nvidia card)

Thanks, that seemed to get me a picture. But the picturing seems to be stuttering a lot. I Do have a second tv tuner an avertv. In the config, the hardware decoder device does not list the tv wonder 550. It only lists the happauge 350 (which i don't have) and the sigma designs x card.

i have it set to the sigma card. is that right? it does not show the tv wonder 550.

This device doesnt have a hardware decoder. It has a hardware encoder - which is used during recording.

You need have this setting set to 'none - use software decoding'.

I am using the nvidia 6600gt and am running a intel core 2 6300. I changed to use software decoder. and it still has the same problem.

Thanks pete but what Do you mean cycle through f7. mines just opens up the print options.

I also used the mux checker. and it says NO MULTIPLEXER FILTERS WHERE FOUND ON YOUR MACHINE.
And that i need xp sp1 for it to work. i am using win xp sp2.

If its stuttering, then its most likely caused by your audio or video decoders or maybe the quartz.dll thing (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=5600).

You dont need a mux with that type of card.

If you press f7 during live tv it should cycle through different aspects,
