Analog recording problems

[sojojo]

I've got a Hauppauge HVR-1250 recorder, but while I'm away at school they only offer analog channels which sucks. I've read through countless other forum posts and haven't found any yet to solve my issue. Problem:
LiveTV has a picture and sound only if deinterlace is off and recording doesn't seem to do anything either. I've installed SoftMCE, and I've properly setup xmltv to show programming schedule.
Any ideas to fix at least the recording feature?

Unfortunately the analog side of this device isnt supported. It lacks the required MPEG2 encoder hardware. I suspect the raw output form this device is delivered interlaced, and GB-PVR usually does its deinterlacing as part of the MPEG2 decoding process, so unfortunately you end up with no deinterlacing.

oh okay, gotcha. Well at least I've got a picture and sound for now until I move off campus in a couple months and I can appreciate the glory of digital cable! Thanks
