I recently bought a HDHomeRun and have been having very specific problems with GB-PVR.
First, I'm not connected to cable, only OTA channels.
All OTA channels display well in the Silicon Dust QuickTV program. However, using LiveTV, the NBC channel only has audio. All other channels display very well.
I'm not very knowlegeable about H.264, and the TS-Mux recordings I am getting are very jittery. I much prefer the higher quality recordings I am getting with either MS-DVR or Cyberlink mpeg-2. Both record all channels except the same NBC one that I only get audio with in LiveTV. When recording that channel, the recording format defaults back to .ts. It immediately reverts to my chosen mux when recording the other channels without any config changes.
I've parsed through the forum and have found all manner of threads seemingly almost addressing the problem I'm having, but I haven't found an answer. I've tried several different mpeg-2 decoders to address the playback issue, but the problem remains and I don't know this is even a relevant step.
I wouldn't mind the problem except that I bought the HDHomeRun for basically one reason - to be able to record the show Heroes in HD when I'm away. Of course, Heroes is on NBC... I am also trying SageTV and BeyondTV and playback and recordings work very smoothly with each - of course, I would much rather not spend $80 to $100 in order to record mainly one show.
Attached are fresh logs from after recording first the NBC channel and then the local CBS one.
My basic system specs -
Running XP Pro 64-bit on:
Phenom 9950 (2.6 G, quad core)
ATI X1900XTX
4 Gigs RAM
Any help would be most appreciated...
