No Channels

[btg92]

hello,

i just got a WinTv-HVR-950 USB HDTV adapter the other day. i installed there software and the recording options are not that good. so after a google search i ended up here.

I opened up the Configuration program and clicked on Capture Sources than clicked "Add". I typed in a name of the source, selected my recording source as "Digital Recording Plugin" and configured its settings so the device type is "Hauppauge HVR-950". i selected the EPG Source as "DVB EPG Broadcast", and the Channel Changer as "No Channel Changer Required".

When i click Update EPG it searches for channel listings and stuff and saves it, but nothing appears in the channels Grid Box.

After doing that i clicked "Map digital channels to EPG channels". it starts scanning all of the channels up to channel 68. as it scans the channels the preview box stays black. and when it is done scanning the channels it says "No Channels found. Please check your signal and configuration settings."

What is wrong with this? the tv adapter is plugged into the cable and it works with the WinTv program that it comes with.

Please Help,
Brent

The USA doesnt use DVB, so doesnt have the DVB EPG. You can use this option to try scanning, but it wont get you tv listings so you'd need to use another epg source for your final setup.

After doing that i clicked "Map digital channels to EPG channels". it starts scanning all of the channels up to channel 68. as it scans the channels the preview box stays black. and when it is done scanning the channels it says "No Channels found.

Do you have an antenna connected? Its scanning for ATSC channels that are receiver 'over the air'.

If you want to scan for digital cable channels, you'd need to have the HVR-950Q model of the device, and need to select the 'Hauppauge HVR-950Q (QAM)' option when setting up your capture source.

This device wont be usable for analog cable channels in GB-PVR due to the lack of hardware MPEG2 encoder.
