Hi, I recently got a Hauppauge HVR-4000 and have had trouble getting it to work with WinTV7 and PowerCinema.
Specifically with WinTV7, I cannot playback the sound on files that have been recorded from free to air HDTV in NZ. With the current setup on WinTV7 i can record and playback FM Radio, Analogue TV picture and sound, but just watch live TV with picture and sound in DVB-T mode. I can also record programs when using DVB-T, but may or may not be recording them with sound, not sure if it's a sound capture or sound playback problem.
Anyway, I want to give MediaPortal a try, but before installing it I would like suggestions as to what codecs etc I need to make available to it to ensure no repeat of the frustration I have had with PowerCinema and WinTV7. I've got more codecs installed than you can shake a stick at, but what I would like to see is a list showing the combination of the codecs from someone who has successfully recorded both sound and picture (and played them back!) when using DVB-T and MediaPortal or WinTV7. Are there any other preliminaries that should be complete to ensure successful install? Many thanks, sorry for being so long winded. I've spent hours trying to solve this and am not technical.
