Hi, I'm newish to GBPVR and having a few troubles.
A few weeks ago Sub recommended I get the Hauppauge HVR2200 (I want to get not only New Zealand DVB-T but also some of the old analog stations).
I've now got the HVR2200, selected the device and local transmitter, and GBPVR managed to find the channels and get the epg - cool. But for a while I was getting audio but no picture. After much adjustment (of antenna), I think I was suffering a weak signal - I eventually got a picture, stuttery at first but it came right. But now...
1) Now that I have the signal and have started changing channels, I get a picture on all, but the audio is actually only on TV1(AC3) and TV3(AC3). There are also channels TV1 and TV3 (without the AC3 suffix), but these have no audio either.
I've tried all the different audio decoders listed in the config, but none of them make a difference. Any ideas why I get no audio?
2) As mentioned above I also want to get those channels still on analog (Prime, triangle tv wgtn), hence this particular card. But where do I set those ones up? I thought maybe this was thru the TuningAssistant.exe (which I gather is for analog devices), but the HVR2200 is not listed. So how can this be achieved? (Selecting any other causes it to fail (failed to find Crossbar filter) and GPF
)
3) Having got the antenna in a really sweet spot and apparently having an ok signal, I thought an uninstall/reinstall may be worth a try to see if it sorted out the audio problems. But now when I go back into capture devices, 'digital channel mapping' and scan for devices, GBPVR finds nothing. (As it scans it reads 'strength 0, quality 0'.)
I'm wondering if some of my troubles are coming down to the signal I'm getting, although the weather is perfect today (unlike the wind & sleet y'day)... before I uninstalled/reinstalled, if the antenna was in a bad position some signal strength graphic was displayed, but nothing ever in it, not even a low %. I.e it seems to appear if there is no detectable signal (unplug antenna, it reports no signal detected) or sometimes it reports 'channel is encrypted' (but TV1 isn't encrypted). It seems the signal is all-or nothing, with the signal strength meter appearing when no signal is there.
So is there any tool to show % signal strength (or something like that) so that I can see how good a signal I actually have?
Thanks,
Phil
