EDIT1: why does the guide has "(no show deta" on every channel, then?
EDIT2: does the Avermedia device need some weird proprietery codec maybe?
SAF is not a codec pack. It installs a small number of specific decoers that are known to work well with NextPVR and configures NextPVR for those decoders. SAF is like a lot by many people in this forum. ffdshow is not liked by many people in this forum. You choose. Send a forum private message to Hoborg for the "unlocked" SAF because "unlocked" SAF has the "best" decoders.
"no show data" is because your source for EPG data is not providing data.
For digital channels, the tuner and NextPVR "copy" the broadcast stream that is received by the tuner to a recording file on disk. The format of the stream is decided by the TV company that broadcasts the stream. The decoder that is required is decided by the format of the stream. The tuner and NextPVR make no difference to the broadcast stream or the format of the recorded file.
