Support for Hauppauge DCR-2650

[Spid4567]

Hello!

I am currently running WIN7 with the Hauppauge DCR-2650 DVR cable card box. This runs great under Windows Media Center. I would like to upgrade my system to Windows 10, but Windows Media Center will not be included in WIN 10. Can I use NextPVR with the DCR-2650? I installed the sotware last night, but was not able to get it to view any of the TV channels. Is there a way to scan the channels?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this device works well in NextPVR.

You need to install the SiliconDust HDHomeRun software, since this is a rebadged HDHomeRun device. The DCR2650 wont show up in the HDHomeRun software, and you don't need to configure anything in there, but as soon as it's installed you'll see your device listed in NextPVR's Settings->Devices screen.

Thank you so much for the super fast reply! I have gotten the DCR2650 to work, and even gotten the EPG to downloaded and working.
One question - does the EPG need to be updated manually, or does it happen by itself?

You can set the auto update time ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...tion.Misc2

There are a wealth of posts here about the problems with the over-the-air EPG in the US. I see many suggestions to use Schedules Direct ... http://www.schedulesdirect.org/
