First, this may be just some confusion on my part with understanding the CVBS#1/SVHS lingo.

There are physically two external inputs, composite and s-video. The WinTV2000 application shows the external inputs as C1, C2, S1, etc. Here is what I gather these things mean:

C1 = composite input #1 = CVBS#1
C2 = composite input #2 = CVBS#2
S1 = s-video input = SVHS

I have my Motorola STB connected via composite (no s-video available) and I don't have audio connected yet.

Now the problem I have is I cannot get MP to show video for any of these inputs when selected in the SchedulesDirect plugin after I have received EPG data. All I get is black and the "no signal" popup. The PVR 350 works fine when using WinTV2000 with C2 selected as the input (C1 yields nothing and S1 yields B&W as expected).

I even tried adding a CVBS#1/SVHS channel and selecting it directly. What can I be doing wrong? Thanks!

Fixed the problem

Well I figured out the problem. I had a trial version of SageTV installed which I uninstalled and then I uninstalled/reinstalled the Hauppauge PVR-350 software suite and everything is working now.

I can't really put my finger on the real problem, but the above did fix the problem.

Also, the PVR-350 uses CVBS#2 for the composite input, so when adding channels be sure to select CVBS#2 for the external source and if you are using the PVR-350 for the audio line in, you need to remap the audio input for CVBS#2 to use audio in #1.
