I have one USB TV tuner attached to this computer. It was recognized and the channel scan went fine. It records great, so I would think it is working with the software. I have installed the Direct X 9 update.
In nPVR in the settings on the General page I have PVR mode selected. But the main screen still has a Live TV option. If I move to that and hit enter, I get a message that reads "Unable to find available capture device", and, of course, I get no TV. No recording is happening while I do this (but at least in theory I have recordings pending, see my previous post for details on that issue).
I can change the general setting from PVR to TV Viewer, but then I just get a black screen, and still no TV.
Why would I get the message about no available capture device? Have I failed to set up something properly?
And as I work through the documentation and try to take in all of the features of this software, I get the impression that it might be able to show other live video than just from a TV tuner, perhaps things from the Internet. Can anyone point me in the right direction to do that, or just tell me that i'm confused about that.
