Hi Both,
Following on from the point that Martin made, I've done a bit more digging around and found a couple of batch files that someone had made to collect some BDA related files from a Win7 machine & copy them into a 2008 based Win Server setup.
That got the device listed - so that problem at least is solved. Unfortunately, having set up the channels, live tv was black & silent.
A couple of the scraped files didn't automatically get copied across (because there were existing versions of them), so I renamed the existing & copied across the new (older versions).
I restarted the machine, fired up NPVR, selected live TV, and...
The machine locks solid
More work to do, but the original problem has definitely been solved.
So, many thanks for your time Sub & Martin, and if I get the current problem solved I'll post the process for anyone else trying for the same setup.
