I am missing something simple with the Hauppage 1212

[Sandy H.]

I read early on that GBPVR was one of (if not the first) application to support the Hauppage HDPVR. Oddly enough, the included Arcsoft software player did not work on my system (Vista 64) so I found GBPVR and have been impressed so far.

I have tried to configure GBPVR to record from the 1212, but am just missing something, I think. I used configure to tell it about an analog HD device, which was in the list and set EPG to none. I start PVRx2 and can view videos, but if I hit manual record, nothing happens.

Can somebody point me to a link that tells me how to configure the 1212. I searched, but didn't find the question, but I know a lot of you guys have it working, so I have to admit, I'm just not getting it right.

Sorry for the lame question.

Even if you have set your capture source to use the 'none' epg option, you'll need to manually add at least one channel. Call it something like 'hd-pvr'.

If you're going to recording TV, it'd be even better if you use a real EPG, with listings for all the channels you get.

Worked great! Thanks.

The media PC isn't on-line rightnow, as I have yet to run the proper Ethernet. I downloaded an xmltv.xml file to my laptop and configured it in GBPVR and was able to add a channel and set-up a manual recording test.

Soon, I'll have the ethernet run and the HDHomeRun box to add, but I think that should be easy now that I understand the EPG.

Thanks for the help!
