Howdy all, I just recently built myself a wicked computer, TV-Tuner included (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1250, it's for a PCI-eX1 and it came with the 45 button Hauppauge remote). I noticed that WinTV is pretty much an abysmal piece of software and I started looking around and found GBPVR and was very impressed. Since then, I've been trying to cajole the thing into working with my tuner, but I'm having a pretty big hiccup.

Here's what I know... The system recognizes my tuner as the Hap. 1800MCE when I click the "only list cards you recognize" button in the capture device tab. I have it set up to be an 'internal tuner' looking for 'cable'. I've set up XMLTV through schedules direct for the time being, and I have many decoders listed on the playback tab. Those are the only settings I've played with. When I open gbpvr.exe and try to open up "Live TV" it gives me the Object reference error. When I open up pvrx2.exe and go to Live TV, it gives me a black screen for a couple seconds and goes back to the main menu. The TV Guide works good on both .exe's.

I went to the troubleshooting section of the wiki and it said that the decoders are probably screwy if you're getting the object reference error, so I've tried all 5 or 6 that it has listed (cyberlink, Nvidia, main concept, intervideo, etc), but I get the same thing.

Another thing I found funny was how when I went to the Tuning Assistant, it works fine finding all of the channels. I don't know why it won't work on GBPVR...

I've attached a zip of all the log files I could find (I've noticed that that seems to be the common theme). If anybody could tell me anything, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Unfortunately this device lacks the required hardware encoder so isnt usable for analog tv with GB-PVR. It can be used for ATSC and QAM, just not analog. Sorry, I know thats not what you wanted to hear...

Well.

I had the same problem with MythTV on ubuntu a couple weeks back.

No wonder the thing was so cheap...

Any word on when they might have a fix? Or do I just need another tuner?

...except for the missing hardware MPEG2 encoder I mentioned above.

Sorry, but there is no plans to change GB-PVR to support analog on this type of card. You'd have needed a card with hardware MPEG2 encoder if you wanted to use GB-PVR for analog tv.
