I recently reinstalled Windows and upgraded some of my hardware. And now it seems like all I have is problems. 
I know some of them are decoder issues, but some of them aren't. What are the recomended decoders?
I don't really know where to go from here, thank you in advance to all who can help!
Athlon 64x2 4400+
3.25gb of DDR2
1tb hard drive
Motherboard w/ onboard 780G video
HVR-2250
PVR150MCE
WinXP Pro SP3
I have the Cyberlink and Purevideo decoders installed. I was using PureVideo exclusively on my old box with no issues. I used whurlstons post for integrating the registry settings for the cyberlink decoder.
1) Live TV: Sometimes, works but often not. I get a black screen and then after about 10-15 seconds it kicks me back out to the menu.
2) I have ripped DVD's to the hard drive and it will play them with two issues. (Old box had no issues) If I use PureVideo the top half of the screen is color and the bottom is black and white. If I use the Cyberlink then it displays fine, but once I hit enter to play the video I lose ALL remote functionality. I cannot stop, start, pause etc. I am using a harmony to the MCE IR receiver, I even tried the MCE remote and it did the same thing.
3) I have the 2250 configured as 2250a-1, 2250a-2, 2250-1 and 2250-2. The "a's" denote the analog tuners. Along with the PVR150MCE that I still have in it, I can still only record 2 analog shows at a time. When two are recording it shows its using the 150 and one of the 2250a's. If I tell it to record another, it says there is a conflict. How can I make it "see" both analog tuners on the 2250 board?
4) Recorded TV is working well. Any channel above 20 looks great, anything below that is all fuzzy. Using the same splitter and feed cables from before. Could this also be a decoder issue?
I have zipped and attached logs after trying to record 3 shows at once in hopes that it will help.
Again... Thank you!
