OK - let me start fresh (whew!)

[mmatheny]

It should be in both sections but if you don't put it in the section that you are not using, it doesn't break anything. The next release of GBPVR will have it in both sections because I'm sure sub has updated the master file with it.

So, is the line the same for both capture devices:
SHARED_NAME=Hauppauge HVR2250

OR should the second one have (QAM) after it? Like this:

[Hauppauge HVR-2250]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
SHARED_NAME=Hauppauge HVR2250
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Hauppauge HVR-2250 (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
SHARED_NAME=HVR-2250 (QAM)
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

OK - got a complete scan, but not a SINGLE channel in the 86 block? GRRRRRR! I'm going to run the QAM tool and rescan again.

[mmatheny]

OK - still scanning, but after I ran qaminimanager and selected 70+ for the channels, it STILL DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING ON THE 86 BLOCK?!?!?!?

Post the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll check a couple of things.

OK - now when watching a live HD program, it records the buffer in .ts format, so I know it's coming off the ATSC tuner (also, that's the ONLY capture device I have added so far!),

However, now when I tune to a channel, I get sound for about 2 seconds, then no sound!

I applied the new pvx2.exe patch for DVD sound not stopping, let me roll back to the original to see if that is something introduced with that. I also updated the nativeutilities.dll file. I'll roll back one at a time to see if any of that is causing it! Also, HD video playback is jerky (however, when I play the buffer file with Cyberlink DVD, it is jerky there as well - is it my video card)? I have a 9600GT I can swap in for testing.

[mmatheny]

Well, going back to original files did not fix it, now looking at the AC3 filter thing - I think I picked the AC3 channel for this one.

Well, THAT didn't work! Any one help here please?!

[sub]

As I mentioned a couple of posts above, post the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll check a couple of things.

[mmatheny]

I'm doing another scan after I removed and re-added the digital capture device - If I get nowhere again, I'll post.

Thanx.

[mmatheny]

Well, finally got it to finish a scan, and after clicking on a couple of channels to see if it would render, the config app locked up again. Logs attached. Occured around 18:15

[mmatheny]

Again, missing MANY channels.
86 block: only found 86.2, ones missed: 86.1, 86.3, 86.4, 86.5, 86.6.
87 block: only found 87.2, ones missed: 87.1, 87.3, 87.4

Many more. What's irritating is it finds LOTS of Spanish channels (which I don't watch!)
