New user here.
Setup: Had been using WMC w/ Win 7.  Figured it was time to update to Win 10.
Hauppauge WinTV CableCard Tuner DCR-2650, connected to Desktop Dell PC
I have an active subscription to Schedules Direct

I've downloaded NextPVR.  On Settings/Devices it shows:
IPTV    IPTV Device
HDHR HDHomeRun 2011XXXXX-0
HDHR HDHomeRun 2011XXXXX-1
(I'm a little confused seeing 3 devices, when I just have 1.  Are the HDHR devices the 2 tuners in the Hauppauge Tuner?)

When I select one of the HDHR devices and select the Schedules direct for Comcast..... and click Scan nothing happens.
I attached my log files.  In the devices log there are several failed to locate filter messages.

Really appreciate the assistance!

I see another user: peterwh posted something very similar recently. I'll read through his posts/replies. I suspect I'll find some useful info. Should have pursued the forum a bit more before posting.

I was able to figure out the channel issue using the replies to the previous forum post. Now I need to figure out Audio. It says I need a AC3 decoder.

The answer can be found if you click the blue link via the right click Settings->Decoder page in NextPVR.exe

Thanks!  Attached is a screenshot of my settings/decoder window.  Any changes I make go away once I close and reopen that window. 

I know what MPEG is, but the other items (AC3, E-AC3, AAC, HE-AAC) mean nothing to me.  All of them except for AC3 can be set to the same Microsoft decoder as the one shown for AAC.  The MPEG decoder has selections for the Microsoft decoder or an MPEG decoder.  The AC3 has no select-able options other than disabled.  Seems like it's all moot until I can figure out how to get my selections to stay.

You might need to change screen size scaling to 100% to see the save button.

What Martin said about the scaling and needing to click the Save button that you should see then.

Also, you probably should go ahead and install the LAV Filters package to get decoders, etc. for other types that you will probably end up needing.  Be sure to get the 32-bit package even if you have 64-bit Windows because the NextPVR.exe client is a 32-bit client!

With the scaling issue you can't even see the blue link that I asked you to click, sorry about that. The link is here http://www.nextpvr.com/decoders.html and the LAV link is in the TL;DR answer. That web page should probably also mention the 32 bit requirement.

I never used to see this issue here, but I've made a change for the next release which will hopefully fix it for those users that had this issue with the Save button not being visible.

Really appreciate all the help. My scaling is set to 100%. With my TV, Windows shows the recommended resolution as 1280x720, but I had to bump that down to 1176x664 or the task bar and start menu options go off the edges of the screen. I did check that my display driver (NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS)is the latest available.

Still looking for a solution. I see in the settings/about window that the "Get Commercial License" and "Configure NextPVR S---" buttons go off the edge of the window too.

I was successful in blindly selecting Save using the Tab and Enter buttons, so now have audio on the client side. It just says Please Wait... and doesn't show any video though.

On the web side and can get both audio and video, but even when I go full screen, the image doesn't fill the screen. I'm guessing that's related to the pop-up window sizing/display issue.
