hi all

i have a wintv pvr 150 and finally i got my HTPC working perfectly. the only problem now is that whenver i open the tv option, the channels start blurry and black and white and it takes 5-8 seconds until the chanells are tuned
properly. after that it works well sometimes and sometimes stays very blurry and not sharp at all. when i close the program and restart it then the whole tuning proccess starts again. has anyone come across this?

    Hi,

    I can, somewhat, confirm this with my PVR150. But it is not as bad as yours:
    - black and white picture for 1 or 2 seconds
    - then blurry and too much colors for additional 1 or 2 seconds
    - after that very good and sharp picture!

    So it never stayes blurry or unsharp on my PVR 150. This also only happens the first time I start TV after MP startup. So it is no big deal for me.

    - I have not tested this with WinTV have you? Same issue or does it behave normal?
    - What drivers do you use? I am using those from SHSPVR.
    - Whats happening, if you change the channel, does the picture go sharp then?

    Flip.

    thx flip

    i have tested it with the wintv2000 and it acts the same, it the same syptoms as you have only it takes much longer for me untill the channels get tuned (30-35 secs).i am suing the latest drivers from SHSPVR as well. maybe some other people have the same problem and can help us out here
    thx
