First of all, I have done my best to search through as many threads as I could before posting, but I haven't had much luck solving my problems.
My System:
XP Pro
Abit IP35 Pro Motherboard
Vista View 1n1-E
Georgia Tech Cable service (http://www.gtcn.gatech.edu)
I recently purchased the VistaView 1n1-E (the PCIe version). I installed the card, connected the cable line to the NTSC tuner, and installed the software from the CD. I also downloaded the QAM patch from VistaView's website and installed it as well (I had seen it posted on threads here). I went through the configuration, setting up the card as a digital non-QAM as well as a digital QAM card. I imported TV listings from MC2XML (it thankfully has an option for GT cable service), and allowed the program to search for digital channels (it didn't find any, GT has a couple HD channels, but I assume I would need to be plugged in to the ATSC jack to see them). It appeared to find all the regular (non-HD) channels, as it provided me a list and allowed me to enable/disable the channels I wanted (I left them all enabled).
I hit OK to get through the configuration screen, and pulled up PVRX2. When I click on Search Channels, no channels show up. When I click on guide, the times flash (i think yellow) for a second, then go grey and the program freezes up for a minute, after which it kicks me back out to the main menu. Clicking "Live TV" does nothing but refresh the menu, it won't allow me to watch anything.
Obviously I am new to all this, so I might be doing something stupid, but I would certainly appreciate any help you guys might be able to provide. If I need to attach any log files, let me know. Thanks!
