OTA Channels - Black Screen

There are five OTA channels in my area. When I click on one to watch, it just sits at a black screen. How do I fix this? I'm using Schedules Direct as my TV guide, and I have a Hauppauge Colossus 2.

You'd probably need to post the logs.
Colossus 2 can't receive OTA channels, since it doesn't have a tuner. Are you connected to a set top box?

What do you have connected to your Colossus2? Nothing? You've got to have something connected to whatever capture device you end up using.
You don't get devices with HDMI + Tuner. They're different sorts of products. You'd need two different devices to get both of these. You can use an ATSC tuner for receiving OTA, like Hauppauge HVR-950Q stick, or HVR-2255 or WinTV-quadHD for PCI cards. These would be connected to an antenna. You can use a Colossus 2 for HDMI capture from an HDMI source, like a set top box.
