Configure Live TV ????

[sabre]

hi
i'm having problems with the TV part.
i have the XTLTV data loaded, but when i try and watch, none of my channels are tuned, i've tried all the possible channels from 1-92, (Cable selected on the tuner card 250PVR , which works fine through wintv2000)

it's only GB-PVR that can't tune to the card. all other programs can pick up the channels fine.

otherwise a very nice product

thanks,

i'm running w2k3 server with 1gb memory, ati all-in-wonder graphics card. GB-PVR version 1.7i

Hi Sabre.

Hauppauge use a different mechanism tfor tuning the channels that is not available to me. I have to use the standard Microsoft mechanism for tuning TV channels. This works as described below.

Microsoft has a two tables of channel frequencies, based on your country and whether you are using Antenna or Cable. When Gb_PVR changes channels (eg channel 7), I pass to the microsoft API - Greece, Antenna, channel 7. It then looks up what the frequency should be and tells the Hauppauge driver which changes the frequency. Often in Europe the TV companies dont seem to use the frequencies, and instead transmit on different frequencies, causing what you are seeing. Many of the dutch users have also had this problem.

Below are some threads that have discussed the problem, and how to correct it.
