How do I setup QAM for Hauppauge HVR-1600?

[bin44]

Hi,

I just bought a Hauppauge HVR-1600 with QAM support. I can get analog cable channels but how do I setup clear QAM HD channels? From GB-PVR configuration, at capture sources tab, what recording source should I choose for QAM? Direct recording plugin, BDA recording plugin, or Go7oo7SB recording?

Thank you for your help!

Choose bda and have cable to the atsc jack on the card

Will this work for the 1800 as well?

Yes

Make sure you try the different qam.ini files to get the maximum channels. One way to check is let WinTV autodetect the channels so then when you are doing your channel setup in GBPVR config you can compare that it will find at least the same amount of channels (if not more.)

Don't expect too much, I just got all the local access stuff and that's it. Pretty lame, I would have expected things like TNT and USA but no such luck.

Thank you for your reply. I just tried using bda and split my cable to the atsc jack. I'm able to watch analog channels but can't find any qam ones. The scan for qam channels found none. What's the problem? The quality remained zero the whole time.
