Hi,
First post, first time user of GBPVR.
I apologise if any of the following is unclear, I am at work and not by my HTPC so I'm doing it all from memory!
I have done as follows:
- Installed Vista along with drivers and Nova-T 500 drives/software
- Installed GBPVR
- I have then followed the Wiki guide to scanning for channels, and it picks up nothing.
I know the card works fine with the antenna because I can scan for all Freeview channels through the normal Wintv software.
When scanning through GBPVR, I tick the box saying only show installed devices and I get 5 or 6 options, I have tried each one but none will pick up channels. An image flashes up from time to time during the scan(usually once or twice) and I do get "Strength:1300" so it is seeing some sort of signal but it just cant seem to pinpoint any specific channels at all.
I have tried scanning on the "all regions" drop down box with no luck. A fellow worker who was experience with mythtv told me that I should select "rowdridge" location in "Southern england" drop down as that is the closest point to me. I tried this and the same thing happened.
I am getting so frustrated! Any help would be much appreciated. Please ask if you need any more information.
Regards
Simon
