My own HVR-1600 setup issues.

[NalosLayor]

So, I'm rebuilding my HTPC using an HVR-1600. I have a PVR-150 as well, but it's not installed at the moment. I've used x64 (the only extra copy of an OS I have on hand) with the PVR-150 before and it's worked just fine. Anyway, onto my problem.

I've installed the Hauppague WinTV software and it views my analog cable TV just fine (I haven't gotten to the point of even trying the ATSC yet). But when I go into GBPVR and hit up live TV (or any channel through the guid, of course), it struggles with a black screen and then dies back to the previous menu. Am I missing something painfully obvious? I thought I had it working on my previous build (different box) but the motherboard crapped out pretty quickly after I installed it so I'm not positive I wasn't just using the 150 entirely.

Anyway, I did notice that the logs do thow a semi useless error (to me, at least) when they die.

anyway, I've attached my logs as well.

Hopefully, I'm missing something painfully obvious.

Two things -

1) try enabling live preview mode in the config app
2) make sure the live tv buffer directory specified in the config app exists.

Duh...That did it (live TV buffer directory), thanks!
