Sapphire Theater 550 -- can hear, but can't see Live TV

[humdeedum]

Hi. I've been playing around with gb-pvr on my new Sapphire for a few hours now and I cannot get it to play LiveTV properly: there is audio on all channels, but no video. The card works fine with both Power Cinema and Beyond TV.

Here is the GBPVR.exe-native.log:

Help! And thanks...

Try setting your deinterlacing setting on the misc tab to 'encoder pass-through'. It might help.

Thank you, that was it!

I didn't see that misc tab before. My bad.

Cheers!
