WinTV works gbpvr doesn't

[Clevername]

I have a Haupage HVR-1600, which works with the WinTV software, although I cannot say I am impressed with the video quality. It is considerably blurrier than my TV.

So I thought I would try gbpvr and see if I cound improve the video quality, but I can't get it to work. When I run PVRX2 and click on live TV, the screen turns blank for a couple of seconds and that is it. Nothing locks up. BTW I can play mpegs and avi's with the PVRX2 software.

I have my DirectTV box transmitting on channel 3 into the "analog in" on the HVR-1600. In the configuration utility it detcts the Hauppauge HVR-1600, and I have the source set to Fixed-Channel, External Tuner; Tuning to Cable and Fixed channel to 3. I added a channel 3(although this was glossed over in the wiki). I have a Gforce 7900GS video card.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Kevin, I am using version 1.2.13. Hope the logs help.

Try enabling live preview mode in the config app. If that doesnt help, post the logs again and I'll take another look.
