Couple of quick questions

[Ryland]

If I do find a fix I will post it here so that everybody will know what it is. Suggestions are always welcome too

I have a little more info. That function is in quartz.dll. Does anybody have a copy of quartz.dll from Vista64 that I could try?

[whurlston]

Which function?

Also what version of Vista are you using? As far as I know, only Home Premium and Ultimate support BDA tuners.

With the HDHomeRun there was also an issue where the 32 bit drivers had to be installed for it to work since it was being accessed by a 32 bit program.

Oh. I am running Vista Business 64. That could easily be the problem then if the business version didn't support BDA tuners.

That would explain why you are missing the ATSC tuning space.

That would explain why you are missing the ATSC tuning space.

I googled but didn't find anything linking needing ultimate to get the ATSC tuning space but I did find a forum post from someone using Business edition who had a QAM tuner.

I also can't reinstall WMP because the version on the download site is older than what I have installed.

On this page I see reference to needing Home Premium or Ultimate for "Windows Media Center HDTV and CableCard support". That is probably what you mean, right? I should have a key to Ultimate coming in shortly I hope.

Just to throw a little more in. I have gotten CTPVR to work and can select the BDA tuner which shows all of the analog stations (Im still fighting with it to get it to show HD stations). I just noticed some errors in the log relating to the QAM tuner so it may just be falling back to the Analog tuner.

I'm not sure if this will help but try browsing to C:\Windows\inf and right click on bda.ini then select "Install". This should repair the Windows BDA infastructure.

Also is there a way to only record new episodes of a show?
Thanks!

Getting back to an earlier question (may be a moot point if you can't get your tuner card working). Try I-xmltv - it's a plugin. It puts an * by new episodes and you set up a season recording on an * marked show. It will then only record new shows with the * marker. Works great!
