If you delete a channel, then recreate it with audio/video input options set correctly does that channel work correctly?

There was a couple of HDPVR/Colossus bugs related audio/video stuff fixed in the current release, and it looks like your channel was original created for SPDIF but due to a long standing bug it wasn't using that audio input.

For the record though, each channel stores a copy of the audio/video input settings at the time the channel is created. It does this incase you want a mixture of component/svideo/composite (or hdmi for colossus/hdpvr2) channels. I've been intending to display the channel input sources next to the channel list in the HDPVR setup, so it's clear which inputs each uses.

Just tried deleting a channel, then recreating it with the audio/video input options set correctly. That did not work unfortunately. I noticed that anytime I select the HD-PVR and click device setup, it reverts back to component video and SPDIF.

Can you post the logs showing the attempt to watch that new channel?

I can't make much sense of this. Hopefully you can though. Thanks again.

Sorry, that's what happens when you drink on a sunday afternoon.

Sub, based on your previous post I deleted the HD-PVR, re-added it, and then imported the channels again from the .xml file. Looks like this fixed my blank screen issue.

For any others with this problem. Go into Settings -> devices -> deleted the HD-PVR device. Once you click 'ok', go back into settings. The HD-PVR should alredy be listed. Double click on it, then select 'Import' and select your file with your channels. You will again have to go into the channels tab and choose to update the EPG. When this is complete, you should be able to select a channel from the guide without getting a blank screen.

Ok - great.
