I bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1250 cheap and used off of eBay. I'm fully ready to accept that it may be faulty, but the business of TV Tuner cards is so messy I'm not sure when blame the card. Currently, NextPVR picked up the card, but found no channels. WMC only picked up to card as "Analog Antenna" which it shouldn't be, and the manual setup didn't work either. Using the automatically chosen setup only yielded 3 snowy local channels. Is there something I could be missing or is it just the card? Thank you!
