Live TV with HD-PVR on Windows 7

[MaidenQuebec]

Hi,

I just finished seting up windows 7 x64 and installed GB-PVR in it. My recording works fine but when I try to watch live TV I get nothing but a black screen. If I choose ffdShow video decoder HD-PVR starts but still a black screen, if I use Microsoft DTV-DVD I don't hear the HD-PVR and still a black screen. Works fine on my vista x32 install.

I have attached the logs running ffdshow.

Thanks!

Anyone got this problem or am I alone?

try installing ac3filter, I was using a dvb-t tuner yesterday with windows 7 for our h.264/he-aac-lc dvb-t and after installing ac3 filter I had sound.

I had this working on Win7 and got a black screen when moving to a non existing Channel on Live TV. After playing around with config to fix it, I now broke it so it is black screen all the time when on Live TV. Recorded programs work (even watching while recording did work at one stage).

I am having similar problem, can record tv and play back no problem, but when trying to watch live tv I get 2 seconds of pic and thats that! Anyone have a solution for this issue?

It works for me. I have 32-bit Windows 7. I think the only filter I specifically installed was the AC3Filter. I am using the windows 7 h.264 decoder (dtv-dvd). I do have "enable live preview" turned off though. Have you tried turning live preview off?

Turning Live Preview off did the trick for me. Thank you.
I hope more people with Win.7 find your post.
