Greetings
I previously installed NPVR, SageDCT, and the Network Recorder plugin to get things working as referenced in this guide LINK
Since setting everything up, I found channel changing to be too slow compared to WMC. I figured that I've got the signal to and from the HDHR Prime going through a third party (SageDCT) and this might be slowing things down. I really don't know, just a guess. Anyway, I've heard on avsforums and this thread (LINK) that SageDCT is unnecessary with npvr.
Now that I've gotten an chance to change things up, I'd really like to get npvr working smoothly. I removed SageDCT, removed npvr, and deleted the public/npvr folder. Then I ran the HDHomerun config and changed the primary player to NPVR from WMC. Then I re-installed NPVR.
Now when I go to devices I see 9 tuners available, so I went about setting up the DCR-2650. The scan came back with several channels (I removed the ones not in my cable package) and I went about mapping a channel to Schedules Direct guide data. NPVR asked if I would like it to take a shot at filling in the rest, and it worked great. I went back the devices tab and copied the setup from HDHR Prime 131121B1-0 to the -1 and -2 tuners (I left the ATSC and QAM tuners alone)
Then over to the decoders tab, I set everything to LAV. (This is how I had everything working with SageDCT, and it tuned all my channels in live tv and recordings just fine) Then I went over to the Guide and attempted to tune a channel. No luck, but it did lock the tuner on the HDHRprime (One of three green lights came on). After locking the tuner for about 30 seconds I was given no Audio and no Video but instead a message saying the tuner was required for a recording. Would I like to switch to watching a recording, or exit back to the menu? Clicking the only option, "Exit back to menu" took me back to the menu about 20 seconds later. At the main menu, NPVR released the tuner (green light went out)
Now I think I should take a shot at the QAM tuners, so I started a scan. The only problem was none of the channels that came up had any sensible name or detail. They all appeared to be something similar to Name: Unknown 10.325 and Details: Freq: 10 SID:325
Tried tuning a channel once again, no dice. I went back and changed from the default render (which worked previously as EVR) to the next one down the list. Still nothing
I attached my logs, sorry they're so busy. I saved the logs last
