Now I feel like a newbie all over again and I guess I should at least post more so that next to my name it says member instead of ânewbieâ but I am having issues again. I upgraded my hard drive and now I canât get the PVR to work. I can watch live tv and off the guide but if I start to record a show and then try to watch I just get a black screen which will revert back to the main menu. The recordings are all 12 seconds long and just black. I had this issue before and I canât find my old post â2 years agoâ on what fixed it.
My setup:
XP on a Athlon XP 1800
512 ram
Hauppauge 350
Hauppauge 150
Cheesy nvidia GeForuce4 Mx 4000 video card
Now before you tell me I shouldnât have got the 350 I know this. I know that sub tells people not to even get it but at the time I didnât see that and it has worked in the past. I picked up the 150 later because, well you just have to be able to record and watch at the same time. I have the 350 set to device 1 and the 150 set to device #2 and have tried multiple combinations of using just oneâs and oneâs and twoâs. I know Sub has said that if the cards are the same they should be separate numbers. The rest of the setup is pretty much basic.
Here is what I am planning on doing when I get home this evening. I will disable the 150 completely in the system and then blow away all the software and drivers for the Hauppauge and then reinstall just the 350 and the Hauppauge apps along with it. I did notice some updates on the site and then see if I can get it working at that stage. Once I have that I can back up the system and try to work in the 150. Unfortunately this damn thing called a job is getting in the way of me getting my PVR working in a timely manner.
So if you have any other thoughts and or ideas please let me know.
On a side note I am thinking of getting rid of the 350 and maybe picking up a 500. Does anyone recommend a better card out there if I am going to upgrade?
On a very side side noteâ¦. Sub thanks again for wonderful support and a great product that makes my life great and makes my friends think I am crazy.
Cheers,
Rex
