Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a Dell Studio Desktop, which came with a "Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1200 (Model 71xxx, Hybrid DVB-T)" card. Initially I tried using media centre, but a) it couldn't find any channels, and b) it had zero options for tweaking things.
After some research, came across gbpvr which I installed and tried to set up. Took quite a while to get my head around things, but kinda went like this:
-Found the NZ EPG from mentalindustries, and set that up successfully. I can access the EPG, and at that stage when I searched to map digital channels to EPG channels, THE CHANNELS SHOWED UP! I couldn't see or hear any content, but the channels were being found.
-After some more research, fiddling with settings etc, I realised that I needed a H.264 decoder other than system default. I now have the ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder (and audio decoder for AAC decoder also)
Somewhere in between those two states (can't remember exactly where) - THE CHANNELS STOPPED SHOWING UP!! Now when I try to map the channels, it does not find any.
I am really hoping that someone might know of a setting that I may have changed that may have resulted in those channels not being able to be found! The fact that I used to be able to see them suggests that I do have reception, however that they have gone is weird and very very very frustraiting!
Logs attached (hopefully).
Computer specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
gbpvr 1.4.7
Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1200
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
Arthur
