Hi,
I have experimented with GB PVR many times in my quest to get some value out of the useless HVR 4000 card I have sitting in my HTPC, but I'm never able to get either the PVR 150 or the HVR 4000 to show up as capture sources in GB PVR, I've always put this down to some sort of conflict caused by the plethora of crap I've installed in attempting to get New Zealand's crappy incompatible DVB-T +? working without spending $500 on the monopoly decoder.
Today I wiped a hard drive clean, installed Windows XP, GB PVR, and Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra (which I bought because it's apparently the only way to get the appropriate codecs to watch "Free" view). I then installed the required dot net and visual studio runtime cruft, Hauppauge drivers, then GB PVR. Once again, I was not able to find any capture devices listed when attempting to follow the guides here, this is about the tenth time I've tried installing this software and I always get the same result.
I'm using Windows XP Pro (I've tried with and without SP3), Hauppauge PVR 150, Hauppauge HVR 4000, and no third party drivers or software other than what I'm given to understand is required in order for GB PVR to work with the hardware and signal I want to receive.
Can anyone shed any light on what I might be doing wrong, I've wasted many many hours trying to make use of this worthless card.
