Okay, could someone offer me their expertise and knowledge regarding installation of the software but also the capture card files (related to their capture card)?
I did read the notes and the wiki but I'm still somewhat confused and unclear about the steps (which is first etc.).
It's not a big deal but I will briefly describe where my confusion lies. I have downloaded most of the necessary files. I have a Hauppauge PVR 150 (1047 kit) and SA Explorer 2000 digital set top box. So, I went to the Hauppauge website and downloaded the driver and required IR files. But, I don't need everything there, do I? I will be using GB-PVR and not the WinTV software for the most part. I tried to find info explaining which parts are needed and which are mostly WinTV and not really needed. One other thing is I am unsure of which order of installation I need to use. Do I install the hauppauge drivers and the IR blaster files/programs BEFORE or AFTER I install the GB-PVR software? I'd rather do the installations correctly rather than have to uninstall anything. Also, I chose to use the Beta drivers and files from the Hauppauge website. Is this idea adequate? Perhaps, I should ask somewhere here (not necessarily this forum section) whether I should use the old files or if it's okay to use the beta.
I think most of my confusion surrounds the wiki documentation in which gb-pvr includes the setup and configuration of the pvr card (one has) but I am not sure where the programs and files from the capture card manufacturer (in this case, Hauppauge) fit in. I suspect I install these files first and then install gb-pvr?
For e.g., in 'Quickstart', I read before installing GB-PVR, I should have the pre-requisite software installed and this includes 'capture device that supports MPEG-2 encoding.' Does that imply I need the hauppauge drivers and required IR blaster files installed first? If you use the hauppauge pvr 150 card or another hauppauge card with similar setup, could you offer me the steps you took?
I am using Windows 2000. So, all steps should relate to the requirements under Windows 2000 OS.
I hope I covered everything and that this forum section is acceptable to post these concerns and questions.
