EPG not downloading and can't watch TV

[uber]

I have just downloaded GB-PVR and installed it and several plugins.

I registered at the Zap2It Labs site and my account there seems to be working as I changed my password, updated listing, etc. However, I cannot download the EPG. Every attempt it times out and says it is not configured correctly. I have double-checked my username and password.

When I try to watch Live TV, only the first channel (channel 2) shows up and none of the keyboard shortcuts nor the Hauppauge remote work.

I have manually added about half of my lineup (via the "Add" button in EPG settings) and they show up with their channel numbers plus ninety-seven in the "Channels" tab of the config screen.

I did not install any of the software that came with the card, only the drivers.

Please help me resolve this problem.
OS: WinXP SP2
Card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250

After installing the IR.exe program, MPEG software decoders, and rebooting, the problem remains.

Normally you should not need to add channels manually to the TV listings, but update them from the EPG.

Can you view the channels you want to see through Live TV?(i.e. did you succeed in setting up the channel numbers/frequencies)?

Have you seen the quickstart guide?

I have gone through the Tuner Assistant successfully, but it did not solve my problem.

I cannot update channels from the EPG because the EPG does not and has never downloaded.

I can view one channel on Live TV. Channel 2 comes in just fine, but I have no controls whatsoever. The keyboard shortcuts don't work.

Do you have Zone Alarm or some other firewall?

Try an 'update epg'. When it fails email the config.exe.log file to me at support@devnz.com.

After several attempts the EPG downloaded successfully.

However my second problem remains: when watching live tv neither the remote nor the keyboard work, and when I press the up arrow key the program freezes.
