USB-UIRT Channel 3/4 problems

[thedocwat]

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been discussed -- I couldn't find anything on previous threads... I just recieved and installed my new USB-UIRT today (with the latest and greatest drivers from the usbuirt.com web site). I've been able to run GB-PVR with no problems using the analog cable (Adelphia in the US). I've made the appropriate changes to the config in GB-PVR, including successfully programming the remote for my Adelphia provided Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3100 digital cable box. Here's where it gets strange... channel 3 works great. channel 4 only has audio, and static for video. When I change to say channel 35 (or any other channel for that matter), I get the GB-PVR blue mini-menu that pops up with the channel name/number/logo/description/etc, but no video (only static) and no audio. The USB-UIRT blaster looks like it successfully changed the channel (i.e. the Explorer 3100 changed from "03" to "35" on it's channel display). Then, when I re-enter channel 3 from the static on 35 I then briefly see and hear what should have been displaying on channel 35, before the device switches back to channel 3. I have tried every various permutation of 3 digit numbers, padding zeros, sending ENTER, etc. on the GB-PVR config options, to no avail. Does anyone out there have any ideas/suggestions of what else I could try?

Many thanks,

You're nearly there. It sound like you've configure the Direct Recording plugin incorrectly. You need to select the "Fixed-channel, external tuner option", and enter channel "3" into the constant channel box.
