Hauppauge 2650 questions...

[stuck-in-second]

Have some questions on my Hauppauge 2650 units.

I was told to install the software (drivers?) for the SD Prime in order for Next PVR to use/see it... which worked of course. But my question is... which drivers is NextPVR using? The ones I installed from Hauppauge for the unit or the ones used for the Prime?

Second question... right now I have no audio for live TV but it records it fine for playback. Are the codecs for the audio coming from the Hauppauge drivers, the Prime software, Windows Media Center... or are they part of Next PVR?

Thanks!

It doesn't use any drivers as such. It does use the hdhomerun_config.exe utility though.

This will just come down to the decoders you have selected on the Settings->Decoders screen. The NextPVR install doesn't include any decoders, since it'd cost $$$ to license them. Instead it just allows you to select from the decoders you already have on your machine.

So... if not using the drivers can I assume it is accessing the 2650 via the network but using the USB in place of the Cat5 connector found on the Prime?

Yes, it's using the network to connect to the device.

The Hauppauge versions of the device contains a USB-Network bridge. ie, looks like a USB network adapter to Windows.
