Nothing but Static?

[TheBosZ]

Hey All,

Just this past week, my brother and I saw the good deal for a PVR-250 from CompUSA ($79.99 after rebates) so we decided to pick one up.

Eventually we plan on making a dedicated MythTV Box, but for now we just want to use it under Win2K.

So, I found GB-PVR from http://www.byopvr.com and it looked like the best free software for Windows. I downloaded, and installed it and followed all the instructions from the Quick Start and the FAQ.

But I have a problem: my channels just show up as static in GB-PVR. If I use the "Tuning Assistant" program, about 15 channels will come in, but none of the rest (and I don't know what that program does anyway).

I installed the Hauppauge software first and that stuff can find the channels just fine. I even uninstalled all that and GB-PVR and reinstalled GB-PVR and it still doesn't work.

Can anyone give me any pointers at all?

Thanks!

This is a known problem with a some of the recent pvr250s. The drivers that shipped with this device worked with the Hauppauge WinTV software but nothing else.

Get the latest drivers from http://www.shspvr.com/forum and it will correct the problem.

Woo hoo!!

It took 5 rebootings, a buncha downloads and some fiddling, but it finally works.

Thanks a bunch! What a great piece of software!
