Hauppauge HD PVR users will find that the graph filter for their unit supplied with NPVR works well but does not seem to control the blue top lights, - "bling" lights Hauppauge calls them.
Here is a workaround, more of a kludge actually, to get them working with NPVR.
Download and install the "Colossus Hauppauge Capture" software from Hauppauge. This software is for both the Hauppauge Colossus and the HD PVR. Installing this software has the additional advantage of bringing the HD PVR drivers up to date with the latest versions. The software is at:
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/su...ossus.html
The computer will be rebooted after installation.
After checking the proper operation of the Hauppauge Capture software take the following steps.
First temporarly deactivate NPVR.
Start Hauppauge Capture and place it in record.
Exit the capture program WITHOUT pressing "Stop". Verify at the exit prompt. The bling lights should stay lit and the firmware in the HD PVR will now control the bling lights.
Power off the HD-PVR. Power the HD-PVR back on to reset the bling lights.
Sign off, reboot the computer and reactivate NPVR.
The blue bling lights should now shine brightly when the HD PVR is recording under NPVR control.
