WinTV PVR 150 Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hello -
I purchased a WinTV PVR 150 and cannot get it to work with Cox digital
cable. Using the supplied software all I get is a black screen. I
have tried both using s-video from the cable box to the card and going
directly from the box cable out to the antenna in on the card. Fiddled
with the WintTV software for hours with no luck.
PC is win XP sp 2, P4 3.gGhz, latest updates, directx 9, video card
is Radeon 9550. Latest drivers to video card and to the PVR card.
Any ideas or suggestions? TIA Jeff

Have you found the spot in the software where you select S-video in
rather than using the tuner? You won't be able to use th tuner and
therefore you won't be able to change channels ont he box unless you use
S-video in and also buy an IR blaster to change the channels.
