HVR-2250 Problems

[Pengu]

Has anyone had any luck getting a Hauppauge HVR-2250 to work?

I tried installing the drivers off of the CD that came with it (version 4.7) and neither GBPVR or WinTV (Hauppauge App) were able to tune in any channels. I then installed version 7.5.6.26354.PreRelease drivers, and it tuned in all the channels that it should. However, most channels it would not show any video (in WinTV or GBPVR). Sometimes I would get audio only, other channels nothing at all. WinTV would simply crash with the new drivers...

I've tried the MS DVR-MS mux and TS Mux, but with no luck.

Admittedly, this is probably a driver issue and nothing to do with GBPVR. I am very disappointed in the Hauppauge product so far, at this point it is completely useless. I am also unable to get the second IR port on the Hauppauge blaster to work, but that is a problem for another day.

I am running GBPVR v 1.3.7, on Win XP, SP3. using OTA channels. I believe that both tuners are set-up properly (I can watch some sub-channels, but not the "main" .1 channel)

So is this hopeless, or have others been able to get this to work? I could care less about getting the analog side to work (I have 2 PVR-150s, which worked very well).

I had no problems when I was using OTA but switched to QAM and have not been able to get it to work in GBPVR or WinTV. For me, it's not a signal issue (I think) because QAM is fine in Media Center and HDHomerun. I think tuning is sensitive and I do agree the drivers are a problem. However, it does appear that Hauppauge is aware of some QAM problems and are working on it.
