how to get Hauppauge 150 MCE FM radio to work

http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=23767

I have 2 WinTV-PVR-150MCE and both have FM radio, but GB-PVR doesn't see the radio HW. Where is this media plugin for FM radio on Hauppauge's web site? I can't find anything. Using driver 3.1F version.

When I select FM Radio in GB-PVR, then Scan, I get a dialog box that says

Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This usually indicates a .NET error ( I presume you've installed v. 2 )
There are some threads concerning this error.

What driver are you using, did you install the MCE driver http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/...cd_31e.zip for the PVR150, 'cause I don't know if the "normal" driver includes the FM/radio part.

3.1F drivers from this site

http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/support...w_mce.html

I have .Net 2.0 installed. Tried drivers from your link, which I already had, and got same result.

Is there a radio app in the hauppauge dir ? If so, does FM radio work from there ?

When I installed my PVR150, I had all these different apps, like winTV200 an a radio app but I can't find it anywhere on the HP website (it's called radio32_1.53.22033.exe) Well It's located at the french HP website under the PVR350, but works for me. Can't imagine you need this though, but you can give it a shot.

I don't have a Hauppauge dir. In the 3.1E CD, there are only drivers. I pointed Hardware Wizard to the 150MCE dir and it installed the drivers.

I got radio32ver143_20014.exe and run radio.exe but it complains

This application has failed to start because hcwTVWnd.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Hmm, I think that's part if not all, of your problem.
Reinstall the drivers, if you haven't already, see if that helps.
Do follow the given HP instructions regarding uninstalling drivers.

That file isn't present in the entire 3.1E driver package.

Just came across this link, someone maintains a Hauppauge CD with apps.

Try installing the WinTV2000 app...........since it's complaining about a "hcwTVWnd.dll".......


=======EDIT========

should be located in the ..\windows\system32 folder

I installed WinTV and it complains about hcwChan.dll.

pfff, hauppauge..... what an........ well you know.

this file is in the install CD cd_pvr150_27 download, it looks like some driver components didn't install at all.
