Does Haup software load new firmware?

[ram4x4nut]

Hi all,

I got my MediaMVP all set up, never even loaded the haup software, I am running purely GBPVR with my PVR-150. My MVP is revision D1. Does the Hauppauge software load any new firmware or is it all just then Linux stuff? I don't want to load Haup stuff unless there is some firmware benefit.

Thanks!

GBPVR includes the "dongle.bin" file which is loaded on cold boot ot the MVP. This is exactly the same as what the HP software does. There is hence no reason to install the HP software from that point of view.

The only reason you might want to have the HP software is to be able to shut down the screensaver of the MVP itself (the HP thing jumping over the screen instead of GBPVR) and possible some nti-flicker settings if that is needed.
If you do install the HP soft do not forget to disable the HP services or they will conflictwith GBPVR.
