NO VIDEO/AUDIO black and white

hey guys.. just installed sagetv last night and spent about 4 hours trying to get it to work with no sucess.. I have a phillips Tv capture card and everything is installed (driver wise).. When i open sage all i get is fuzzy black and white picture on every channel (from my coax cable line).. I am running it through a splitter but also tried straight form the wall and still nothing..

Any ideas?

ALSO: Im using a philips saa713x capturte card!!

Thanks

Ok.. im getting really mad at wasting all my time trying to get this working (which if i do get it working will be pretty damn awesome).. i have searched and havent found one other person having a problem with getting any channels (all mine are black and white scrambled) even tho it works fine on my tv with teh same coax cable..

Is there a way to test if my capture card is even working at all?

Please i think this software looks amazing i would just like to be able to use it!

I'm not familiar with that capture card and didn't see it on the System Requirements page as a supported tuner. Is it a hardware-based tuner or a software-based tuner. Be aware that software tuners are not recommended for best performance.



You may want to fire off an email to Sage to see if they have any info regarding that tuner.

Did you contact Sage to see if they had any info regarding that card.

That sucks that 3 different PVR programs are having problems with it.

As for forum help, I think you will be very limited in support here if it is an uncommon card. The forums are for user-to-user support, and if no users have used this card.....

You need to contact Sage at support@sagetv.com for official support.

If it's crashing in all programs and not just Sage then I would uninstall and reinstall all the drivers. Check the website for updated drivers.
