HVR-2250 and Comcast

[bnollar]

I have an HVR-2250 with Comcast digital (no STB). I have it configured with an analog capture source HVR-2250 and Schedules Direct. I get the schedule and if I try to select a program from schedule or watch Live TV, I get audio, but no video? Any thoughts? I tried to set up a digital capture source, but it locks up.

I get the schedule and if I try to select a program from schedule or watch Live TV, I get audio, but no video?

Do you have an MPEG2 decoder installed? If you only have 'system default' as the only MPEG2 video decoder option on the Playback tab of the config app, then you probably dont have one installed.

I tried to set up a digital capture source, but it locks up.

If you reproduce this, then post the logs, I'll take a look.

Under Playback I have listed: MPEG Video Decoder, Nero Video Decoder and System Default.

Digital Capture: When I tried to build only the digital capture source, GBPVR would lock up when I tried to view TV Listing. With both the analog and digital capture sources listed, I get the listing. However, I still have the issue of no video playback. Here is some of the pvrx2.exe-native.log:
