New Install, New User, Multiple Issues

[wwnpvr]

Win7 64 bit, AMD Quad Core APU
Hauppauge HVR-2255 and WinTV7 app

I installed and configured NPVR and Schedules Direct per the setup guide/Wiki.
I have the settings checked to open Main Menu at start; does not happen only black screen.
I can start Live TV with right click menu.... but thats all I have is the right click menu.
The plugins are checked so they should show up in the start menu, but all I get is black screen.
When watching live TV I get flickering on 1 or 2 UHF channels but not all, tried changing the video render to 7 and 9 but that made the issue worse, returned to EVR. Also changed decoders and stuck with ffdshow, seems to have helped a bit also but not completely.

WinTV 7 app works flawlessly on all channels so I know it is NPVR and not the HW.
Using NPVR with Kodi/XBMC so need this to work.
Could the WinTV app be causing issues with NPVR, don't think I can uninstall it as it provides drivers for the 2255.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.. thanks

Have you installed the full DirectX runtime ... it is required in all circumstances and in all versions of Windows ...

And have you read the Tech support - READ BEFORE POSTING thread?

It sounds like you changed the UI mode to TV Viewer, it should be PVR

Yep, I think this is the case.
