I haven't installed Powercinema (which is what came with my HVR2200) so I dunno.

Also, changing channels from Digital to Analog takes a looong time, but I don't think this is a mediaportal thing...

Scanning for digital is fine.

Have never added channels manually, do I need the frequencies etc? Anyone able to help with this?

When I get a chance I will install the Hauppauge software and see what happens.

Yeah, you'd need the frequencies and channel numbers. Googling normally finds them.

As for adding them, TV Server > Tv Channels > Add. Tis pretty simple.


Just got another two BSODs from analog channels. The first was when I switched from TV3 DVB-T to Prime then exited Mediaportal and the second was when I switched from TV3 Analog to Prime to CTV, at which point the picture froze and the audio went choppy and BSOD'd.

Analog support for the HVR2200 seems a bit buggy...

In TVServer go to channels> "Add" Give it a name in the analog section fill up the channel number leave the frequency default 0. Prime is 316
Juice is 11

It depends on where you live. Lincrad Aerials has all the frequency and channel numbers for each place in New Zealand.

Yeah! Good point!

Thanks guys, have re-installed a fresh Vista Home Premium and am trying again from scratch. :-)

Freeview still works like a charm....

Managed to see picture on Prime, change back to Freeview TV1 and it locked up. Restarted everything.... Watching Freeview TV1 then change to prime.... BSOD!

Might have to dig out my old PVR 150 for Prime and Juice....

UPDATE

That last BSOD screwed something up now. MP won't start at all, log file says something about "Root Element is Missing"..... Time for bed!

Havn't noticed that here. I have have always had, and still have, occasional freezing of video on playback but it is always a small segment I can skip over or get through. I'm guessing at least partially caused by the load I put this machine under. However definitely not constant.

I would recommend collecting logs and posting in the support forumn, even if you you do go back to RC1 these issues need to be documented looked at.

WIth DVB-s RC2 is working a treat on both the server and client. No dramas at all.
Only issue Ive found (although havent retested it) is when trying to go from watching Videos to recorded TV, the recordings wouldnt play without restarting mediaportal.
