Live TV No tuners are available error

[gonger]

Hi I am a new gbpvr.

I have a vista pc with a hauppauge hvr-2250 installed. WinTV works fine. I have updated the dba.ini to include the hvr-2250 and am using the schedulesdirect tv guide. I followed the directions to configure the hvr-2250 in the capture sources tab. When I 'map digital channels to epg channels', see a list of channel names and the scan found several channels which I manually mapped to the channel names. In the preview window, I see the tv playing.

But when I attempt to run pvrx2 and select LIVE TV, I get the following error:

No tuners are available to watch the requested channel. You can choose to watch one of the currently recording programmes.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

In the config app, enable live preview mode, and also make sure the live tv buffer directory specified exists. If that doesnt help, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Hi

greetings from a very new newbie with the same prob as described. Followed your advice regarding tick preview mode and got as far as a selected channel but also got the following message "no signal detected please ensure etc......."

Running latest MCE on vista with no probs on Medion 8824.

Any suggestions ?


grateful thanks

Hi and thanks for your quick reply. Not sure if this is what you are wanting but worth a try

Can you also post your pvrx2.exe.log?

I did what you said and fixed the buffer directory and the turn on tv preview. Now when I select the LIVE TV, I get the video but no audio even though the volume is at max and I can hear the sound when I use WinTV.

I attached the logs.

Thanks for your help

Looks like its failing to find an AC3 capable audio decoder. Try installing AC3Filter. google for it.

That worked. Now I have audio. Thanks
