Hopefully it will help others get up and running. Much of this has been learned by my own experiences and the helpful people over on The Green Button. Here is how I have it working with success. While we all can hope that this should “just work”�, there are many variables involved which combine to make it hard.
My opinion is that this has to do with the other things running on your HTPC including background processes and codec packs. For some people they are great and others have a bad experience. People have had various experiences getting these drivers working. In the community these are often referred to as the ‘native drivers’ since they come from Hauppauge rather than DVBLink which provides another solution for this to work. It uses component video and S/PDIF optical audio connectors.Įarlier this year, Hauppauge released drivers for Windows 7 Media Center that let you use the device as one of your tuners within media center. The HD-PVR is a device that connects between a set-top box (such a your cable tuner box) and your computer (HTPC).
