Notepad, but it is on Misc2 (I think) I'm watching tv now.

Yeah, just uncheck the box in Settings - Misc2! But I just edited a copy of your XML file with Notepad for practice. Just add .xml to file name and select "All Files" as type.

Thank you, I have update NPVR to 2.6.2.

I don't know what this means, please explain what to do with this: <AlternateOSDForMissingVideo>false</AlternateOSDForMissingVideo>

(It is getting late for me, and my next several days will busy. It may be a few days before I will get to make changes.)

Thanks for help. vfromks

In the nextpvr setup go to the Misc2 screen and untick "Use Alternate OSD..." hit OK and restart nextpvr

Thank you, that did it. I had been hoping that it would a simple setting some where. Thanks for knowing where to direct me.

Try viewing the device's built-in web server, and do a scan from there, then retry it in NextPVR.

I am trying to get the hauppauge 2650 working with NPVR and XBMC as well.

I scanned with the web server as described, but still not seeing any channels in NextPVR. What am I doing wrong?

Everything is set up and working in Windows Media Center just fine.

The only other thing I can think to note is that I do not have a cable card. I am using it for basic channels only. However, shouldn't those still be picked up? They are in Windows Media Center.

I'm pretty sure you'll only get the channels in NextPVR with a cablecard. I think if you had the SiliconDust version of the hardware (HDHomeRun Prime), then you can get the clearqam/atsc channels using the ATSC/QAM drivers installed with this hardware.

Really? That would be most unfortunate. It works fine without a cable card if I use windows media center. If anyone knows a way around that it would be appreciated. I don't really want to pay my cable provider for the cable card as I don't even subscribe to the premium channels that would require it

For me, the 2650 only worked with a cablecard. Never got clear QAM to work.

Sigh. Looks like I may have bought the wrong tuner for my needs. Thanks for the input guys.
