Synopsis::

Cannot view TV in full screen. OK on My TV page mini window but when I double click on mini window to get it full screen I get audio but a (full) black screen. I can go back to My TV window but after a few seconds the entire machine freezes. control, alt, del doesn't work (nothing works) so I have to hold down the computers on button and restart.
The setup seems ok. All capture cards recognised and tuned, channels assigned etc. I've been trying various combinations of things (changing card priority, only having one card view enabled and other two record enabled, different audio and video codecs (there are loads of these, I dont know which is best). I've only just installed the software and compared to the other 4 PVR trial versions this looks the best and is the only one that supports all my cards and remote. I hope the solution is simple!

Cheers!

Paul.

try changing the codec you are using. i have this issue on some of the codecs - managed to get it to work fine with "intervideo non css" codec, but the rest give me black screen like you get - if sound is ok you can leave that just change the video codec. takes some attempts to find one that works correctly.....

ps i currently have issue with the mpeg codec cutting out part of the screen - ie missing about 4 inchs from right hand side of the program and then centers itself, thats on the mpeg codec.
