Had troubles getting my PVR350 to work under Win7. Thought it was stable, and after a reboot, bam, it tanked again.
Looks like I solved it permanently.
1. Use the latest WinTV7, which includes PVR350 (and other) drivers. Got the version 2.3b dated 17 February 2011 from http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/su...intv7.html
2. "The PVR250 and PVR350 have single instance drivers, so its critical that you kill WinTV and/or MCE background services. These hold onto the device, and it'll get the failure you're seeing in GB-PVR."
I found it myself, but then also the quoted post from sub (he is the master
). http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...-tv-screen
So, start the Services.msc, scroll down to the HauppaugeTVServer, and set it to "Disabled". Maybe you could also use "Manual". Note that WinTV 7 will not work until you restart that service. If you also have a PVR150 in the same machine, you may be in trouble, because it requires a single start/stop of WinTV otherwise you get no sound. However, on my machine PVR150 worked "out of the box" (did not need to fiddle with HauppaugeTVServer, but needed the start/stop of WinTV). And the PVR350 never had any problems with GB-PVR (ever since 2003...), even on Win7.
Now my PVR350 also works in NPVR after reboots. Will post update if there are any problems.
