No HD/ATSC Video after Vista Upgrade (analog OK)

Nope. Black screen, no audio. (shoulda mentioned that, sorry)

If you rescan in the config app, does it find your channels?

pointlisse · 2007-05-13, 03:27 AM

No again. It literally behaves as if there is no signal, despite the fact Media Center could pick up the local stations.

Have you tried stopping the Media Center services? If not, then it's probably holding on to the device (even if you stop the media center UI).

It was a good thought. I disabled all Windows Media Center services, rebooted and performed a channel scan, but not one channel was found, all with 0 strength and 0 quality. In other words, no change.

Sub, your willingness to help is very appreciated! If I'm becoming a nuisance please say so. I just find it hard to believe that I'm the only HVR-1600 user with Vista. I would have hoped this question was more academic by now Sad

Sorry, I dont know. I'm out of ideas.

Not a real solution, but I reverted back to XP from an image backup and everything is working as it was before. Thanks again for trying to help.

I have the exact same problem, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. I am also running the HVR-1600 and Vista

Mattrsch, nice to know I'm not alone.

After having vista for about 12 hours, I decided that it did not offer me much in terms of an upgrade, so I had no problem reverting to XP. If this does get resolved, I'd consider another go at it.

Wish I could help, though.

So apparently my XP was on the hairy edge of stable, so I needed to do a clean install (I was due anyway). Rather that redo XP, I went once again with Vista.

FWIW, the clean install made a world of difference and the machine is working very well.

The bad news is I have the same issue as orginally reported... No HD/ATSC video or sound; no ATSC signal is recognized. Analog still works fine, so I will limp along until some fix is made (GB-PVR, Microsoft or Hauppauge).

If anyone can suggest anything beyond what has already been discussed, I would greatly appreciate it.

Andrew
