All I can suggest is a different encoder. WinDVR3 is what I am still using, and haven't had to touch a thing since I installed that 18 months ago.
I have never tried your encoder (though I don't know why it would "kinda" work - you would think it either would or wouldn't).
Thanks for the reply winterescape. I understand what your telling me. Do you just use yours for the free to air HD/digital channels? Mine only picks up like 20 anyway I have an old 150mce that works perfectly. But the cards don't seem to play nice together. I guess I'll just give up on thisI think the reason you have not received any response, at least from me, is that no one uses the analog tuner on this card. Most users are US broadcast ATSC only. We are not ignoring you we just have no insight in how to help solve your problem.
