Unable To Find Available Capture Device

[darrenkdean]

Good Morning,

I am receiving the error, Unable To Find Available Capture Device when attempting to tune a channel using the HD Antenna. The Cable Card setup works perfectly. I have two Silicon Dust HomeRun devices, one is Prime with 3 tuners and a cable card, the other is Dual with 2 tuners hooked up to a HD Antenna. NextPVR is installed on Microsoft Server Essentials 2012R2, 64-Bit.

HD HomeRun Setup sees both boxes, scans and finds all channels. NextPVR sees both boxes in devices list. NextPVR channel scan finds all channels on cable card. NextPVR channel scan hangs on scanning channel 2 when trying to locate ATSC - OTA channels via the HD Antenna.

I loaded an additional copy of NextPVR onto a Windows 8.1 machine and was able to scan that ATSC - OTA channels using NextPVR. I then exported this channel list and imported it into the Server copy of NextPVR. The Server Essentials 2012 NextPVR is acting almost as if it is unable to control the HD Homerun Dual Tuner box - ATSC. I have been working on this for two days and have been unable to determine the root cause or fix for this. I have loaded the N-Shared.dll from the fixes/patches section, which fixed my ability to watch OTA channels on the windows 8 machine, but did not help the server with the ability to control the HDHR device. Please help!

HDHR3-CC (HD HomeRun Prime -3 Tuners)
Cable Card With Digital Tuner Box

HDHR3-US (HD HomeRun Dual - 2 Tuners)
Connected To HD Antenna

Hello darrenkdean, server versions of Windows lack BDA components that are needed to support TV tuners, however the HDHR Prime with cablecard can function without them. I'll look for a link for 2012R2.

[Edit] Haven't done this myself, but old threads report success using this link: http://www.tenniswood.co.uk/technology/w...rver-2012/

One more thing: In HDHomerun setup, select application "Other: ATSC/QAM" for best results.
