Hi Guys,

when I install my pvr500 into my pundit r, using the same numbers for both tuners, everything works fine, except that I can not record 2 shows at the same time and I can not watch live tv and record at the same time.

When I switch the pvr500 1 tuner to capture device 1 and the pvr 500 2 tuner to capture device 2 it freezes the pc as soon as I record the first show. CPU usage boosts up to 100%

Btw, I have switched the capture device numbers by deleting and reinstalling the tuners.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

todd

This problem with the PVR500 and some motherboards is widely reported on the internet. I think there is a fix but I can't remember where. Search Google and I am sure you will find it - that is how I did.

todd - see this thread...

Does the Pundit R use a VIA VT8237 Southbridge? If so, that is likely to be the problem.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your support, even though I ended up calling the German customer help line. They told me to update the pvr500 with the newest drivers. They even sent me a link to find those drivers, since they are well hidden :=)
The link worked, the drivers didn't. So I took the ones from the us site. They worked well, and suddenly I was able to record to shows at the same time!!!!
Yet, when I tried to update the channel list, wintv did not start any more. I deinstalled the entire hauppauge stuff a couple of times, before it occurred to me, to install only the pvr500 and forget about the old hauppauge 878 card. Suddenly wintv worked great, so I got the channel numbers straight. As soon as I afterwards installed the 878 card, wintv stopped working.
But gbpvr works fine now!!!

Cheers,

todd
