You need to create two capture sources, one as device #1, the other as device #2. Is this what you did?

and no remote at all

There is no built in support for the remote that comes with this device. You might be able to get it to working, but I dont have one of these devices so cant really advise you one this.

and no channel lineup

Did you setup your EPG when you created your capture sources?

[al1112]

yes i setup both capture devices both 1 and 2 and found out that the drivers needed for the ehome infrared device have to be manually installed by browsing to c:\windows\system32 they are there. not sure about the epg but i have gotten it to update the channel lineup 3 times and its still blank

What EPG source are you using? xmltv, zap2it?

Click the 'Update EPG' button, wait for it to complete, then zip and attach your config.exe.log and I'll take a look.

Its looks like you've configured it to use XMLTV, but not set the filename? or possibly there is something wrong with the XMLTV file? If the latter, zip and attach your XMLTV file and I'll take a look for you.

ok there is everything in the same zip i just updated it with all my logs and everything i could think of that u may need it sees the tuner. and my adaptec is installed into my system properly. however,its my settings that are wrong. and i really appreciate your help on this as well.

I get the feeling you're not understanding what needs to be done to get XMLTV working. You have to download/install/run some third party software which downloads listings to XML files, then you point GB-PVR at these new XML listing files. I think you've just pointed GB-PVR at some random XML (bleb-channels.xml maybe???).

Most UK based users use the XMLTV grabber from http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/

Wow, that looks like a decent tuner! I was thinking of getting an second PVR USB2 for an additional tuner. Please let us know if you have success with the remote!

He should be able to get the remote to work it is nothing more than an mce remote....However the problems i have experienced is an overload in the device. It plugs into on usb port and the computer acts like too much info is coming in (i.e. 2 video signals and remote commands) in the end i just replaced the remote with a streamzap remote and havent had any problems since.
