PCI-express tuner cards

[tsandershsa]

I picked up a hvr-1250 today..... Having problems getting it
to work with GBPVR.. it's pci-e card...

Any ideas?

I'd need a bit more to go on than that. What problems exactly?

[stustunz]

what are you trying to pick up what sort of signal?

[tsandershsa]

I'm trying to pick up an analog signal.....

I can't find it listed as a source capture card and I tried it under all
of the hvr- settings but GBPVR will not function under any settings.
Card works fine using the included WinTV software.

Is it a supported card?

tks

Unfortunately that particular card lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder, so isnt going to work for analog TV in GB-PVR. You can use it for ATSC or Clear QAM though.

That will theach me... I was trying to watch my pennies
and I bought the cheapest one Circuit City had... of
course it doesn't work!!!!

Thank you for your quick responses to my questions

Hi sub.

When you be testing your HVR2200? I'm keen on getting it rather than the Nova-T since I've run out of PCI slots. I'm worried that it may clash with my existing HVR3000.


Also can you tell me if I have to dedicate one of the tuners to analogue for Channels like Prime or will GBPVR automatically switch the tuners between DVB-T and analogue?

I havnt tested it yet. Unfortunately I'm pretty bogged down with my day job and having done this 1.2.9 release recently.

Also can you tell me if I have to dedicate one of the tuners to analogue for Channels like Prime or will GBPVR automatically switch the tuners between DVB-T and analogue?

No you dont have to dedicate a tuner for analog. If you want, you can configure two analog and two digital capture sources and it'll take care of switch between them and make sure that only two of those capture sources are used at any one time.

I got my new HVR2200 today and have it working (DVB-T at least). Had to add the following to the bda.ini following the wiki page and it just worked.

[Hauppauge HVR-2200]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA Digital Capture DVBT
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Hi dgrind, what decoders do you use and what's your EPG source for the 3 tuners?
