"scrambled" video?!

profjoe · 2004-09-07, 02:29 AM

I may be crazy, but I am almost sure that I read someone else having this problem recently, but 2 hours of looking in various forums gives me no joy.

My new wintv 250 works just fine with the (not so nice) wintv 2000 software, but I get "scrambled" looking video from gbpvr, sage, and btv. Audio is fine on all counts.

What stupid thing am I doing wrong?

Yep. Thanks. Don't know how I missed finding it. That is my problem allright.

Now to read for a bit...

OK. So I have read through the links that you posted as well as a number of other websites. Installing a whole host of frequencies in the registry, however, does not help me at all.

Is ther any way to get gbpvr to auto-tune? or can I "import" the frequencies that wintv2000 came up with?

Just for archives sake, let me say that this is a channel tuning (frequency) issue that many have solved by hand tweaking the registry.

This other thread might be of more use: http://gbpvr.com/cgi-bin....2;t=826

or someone could search these or related forums (sage, btv, etc.) for "freqcopy" as that is another utility that some (but not I) have had success with.

I will stop posting to this thread now....(probably)...answers should be elsewhere.

I was actually wrong on this one. There are several unrelated "tuner" issues floating around. Some can be easily fixed by registry monkeying. Others (like mine - new version 1.5 of the wintv 250) cannot be fixed that easily.

Although I have not tried it yet, Hauppauge is supposedly frantically working on a new set of drivers and this guy at snapstream seems to have a pre-beta (would that be an alpha?) release.... here

I guess I will post again with the results of that driver just to help anyone that has this hardware also.
