anyone have a Hauppauge 250 really works? [channel 3] [media center]
Q: If you have a Hauppauge 250, let me know how you have the setup, if I can not get this thing working.
I can not this thing work. I tried to bring the Media Center stuff, but it detects no remote (that works), so it will not proceed with the installation. I tried to setup using Sage, but it does not get any video (in Media Center wizard, if you manually set the audio and video are on Channel 3, so it works, what I think).
Im trying to get the owner to get a grasp of technical support to get, and I try to find out also. I have no way was lucky to find any information via google.
Any recommendations would be helpful, including links, other forums, or software to try .
I forgot to mention about the included software . Me installed the original stuff, and I try both wintv2k wintv32 and programs to run, but an error comes something to the effect of “unable to creat TV window. I have everything removed and then reinstalled, and I get the same thing. I went and downloaded the latest drivers, and newest versions of both programs, and I still you the same.

Matter of fact, I forgot to mention that. I installed the original stuff, and I try to run both the wintv2k and wintv32 programs, but an error comes up, something to the effect of "unable to creat TV window". I uninstalled everything, and then reinstalled it, and I get the same thing. I went and downloaded the latest drivers, as well as latest versions of the two programs, and I still ge the same thing.
I would guess something is screwy with a driver *somewhere*, but hard to say what. Try downloading AMCap and see if *that* can see the video/audio feeds. If not, something is definitely FUBARed.
I've been using their PVR150 (two of 'em, actually) for quite a while and am very happy with it.

The 250 has been around a long time with lots of satisfied customers.
I know that doesn't help you except to say its not the card.
I agree. It's not the card (maybe the software…), it's just a PITA. I'm trying to build a HTPC for someone, and it's just not working. And I'm sure there is a setting or something I'm missing. I was thinking about putting a capture card in my server, but I don't think I'll be going that route anymore…

Re:I had mine working in Sage for over a year. Great card.
