First of all, thanks for this product and forum. I've been able to solve a lot of my problems by reading the threads already.
Executive summary: Fully up and running. Forced to use LAV instead of the more highly regarded FFA and/or Cyberlink decoders, leading to slowdowns and reduced performance. Trying to get one of the latter two decoders up and running.
I have NextPVR 3.1.1 up and running well on my HTPC (more than enough machine to run it).
Like many people, I had the black screen issue with live TV early on. I was able to fix it by moving to the LAV video decoder. From there I was able to get up and running in XBMC as well. My only problems are extremely slow channel changes and buffering issues in XBMC.
One of the main suggestions that seems to be a theme both here and elsewhere is to get rid of LAV for a better performing decoder.
First I tried FFA--that gives me a black screen. I also used some detailed instructions to install and get access to the Cyberlink PowerDVD decoder. Regrettably, that also produced a black screen in the Next PVR App.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
