[QUOTE="Hefe, post: 1038502, member: 134515"] well, it's been almost a year, and I have been picking at this on and off for the last few months.. let me update my progress.. I built a new Machine for this so I don't have to disable the old one during the transition. [B]the new machine is:[/B] Asus f2a55-m Mainboard AMD A8-5600K 3.6 GHz APU with Radeon HD7560D Video 120GB SSD for the OS 2TB WD SATA 6.0 Drive for the storage Silverstone case [B]Tuners:[/B] HD Homerun (dual) (QAM Local channels Via Charter Cable) Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 (SD Cable channels, and QAM via Charter Cable) Hauppauge Colossus #1 (Hooked to DirecTV STB H24) Hauppauge Colossus #2 ([I]not YET hooked up, still on old MCE PC)[/I] [B]What I have done so far:[/B] Updated everything to 1.5.0.0 Created a Schedules Direct account and built my channel list (.. seems to be working fine) Installed IP Shef... and the "test" option turns on the receiver, so I assume that works fine. Mapped the channels to the cards .... HD Homerun seems to work fine, preview works.. tuning to the channels works fine.. all is good. the HVR 1600 works good .. it tunes analog cable just fine.. (looks like poo.. but that's cable for ya) but the Colossus just doesn't work.. my solution was to search on here for a "Colossus Setup guide" ... WOW.. that didn't work out too well there was one thread that was 100 pages long and old and outdated. and quite a few that had to do with IR Blaster issues (not my problem) the preview option doesn't bring up a picture at all.. just the error "no PMT Found" is there a simple (up to date) how to on getting Colossus working?
