Finished putting together my homebrew PVR (HD-PVR2/NextPVR/ShawDirect Satellite set top box) and am now dealing with the following issues:
Video image recorded from NextPVR app is 480p (plays back non-HD with vertical bars) even though the captured content is 1080p 16:9 (using Component cables between set top box and HD-PVR / HDMI to TV). Image is in 16:9 aspect when played live in NextPVR however the quality is not as good as when live feed is played in Hauppauge's WinTV app. In fact, full screen WinTV playback is almost equal as direct feed from set top box. Am using all default settings at this point. Should I be using third party decoders??
Am running into a problem where the channel numbers provided by the online service do not match ShawDirect listings. Do I need to edit all the downloaded listing numbers to match ShawDirect's?? Am testing Schedules Direct service at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
