Stuck on channel scan

ahecht · (This post was last modified: 2015-08-01, 04:03 AM by ahecht.)

I had a Silicondust HDHomeRun HDHR4-2US on Windows 7 Pro x64 which is working fine with HDHomeRun VIEW and Windows Media Center. I re-ran the HRHomeRun setup to set it to NextPVR mode and tried to set up NextPVR, but when I choose the -0 tuner, set it to "USA ATSC CH.7-51" and hit scan, it just stays on "Scanning physical channel 7" forever.

I setup firewall exceptions for NextPVR.exe, NRecord.exe and NDigitalHost.exe. I tried following the instructions at http://my.hdhomerun.com/instructions/sof...extpvr.php after installing the newest SiliconDust drivers, but I don't have a "Location" tab (there is a country drop down and I selected "United States", but it never asks for my ZIP code) or an "Applications" tab (there is a "BDA Compatibility Mode" drop down, but the only options are "Default", "Easy HDTV DVR", "For The Record", "J River Media Center", "MediaPortal", "NextPVR", and "Windows Media Center", and there is no "Other:ATSC/QAM" option).

My log is below:

Strange but true, you will probably get much better results setting HDHomeRun application as Other: ATSC/QAM. In future, please zip and attach logs.

I don't have that option. I tried following the instructions at http://my.hdhomerun.com/instructions/sof...extpvr.php after installing the newest SiliconDust drivers, but I don't have a "Location" tab (there is a country drop down and I selected "United States", but it never asks for my ZIP code) nor an "Applications" tab (there is a "BDA Compatibility Mode" drop down, but the only options are "Default", "Easy HDTV DVR", "For The Record", "J River Media Center", "MediaPortal", "NextPVR", and "Windows Media Center", and there is no "Other:ATSC/QAM" option).

***sub*** · 2015-07-31, 07:39 PM

Maybe try 'default' then.

Yes those are the server BDA setting now which has kept me from updating my backend I've just posted on the Silicondust forum to see how these are defined.

No luck with "Default" either.

I downgraded to the previous version of the driver and tried the "Other:ATSC/QAM" option, but no luck. I attached a new log. Should I be concerned about lines like: "FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: BDA MPEG2 Transport Information Filter"?

Yes, it looks like some of the Microsoft digital tv components are missing or broken on your machine. Not really sure what you do to fix this.

You could maybe try running the following from a command prompt started with 'run as administrator':

regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\psisrndr.ax

Wow! That did the trick! Thanks!
