Help with hvr-1800 digital

[TheStoicJester]

I just recently put together a new htpc system and I'm running into some issues with my Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800. The analog input works fine, but I can't get the other (digital) input to work at all. I've tried connecting a normal antenna and scanning for atsc channels. I've tried connecting my cable and scanning for QAM. No matter what, nothing is ever found. Both of these sources work fine when connected directly to my TV, so I know that some channels exist in my area.

I've tried several different programs (gbpvr, mediaportal, beyondtv), so I don't think it's software related. But I've installed the latest drivers for the capture card, and I don't know what else to even try. Is there something else I have to set up to get the hardware to work? Is it just a bad card? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Do you get anything in the Hauppauge WinTV software?

I haven't tried it with that yet. I'll install it tonight and see if I get any results.

Try 1.2.9 instead of 1.2.13 if you can find it. I found 1.2.13 just wasn't suitable for use with this card and my system running XP x64.
