Newbie, setup 2nd source hangs. Please help

[mikel]

I have a HVR-980 setup and basically working. I then tried to configure my PVR-150, which is listed as a WinTV PVR PCI II.

When I get to the point to configure the EPG lineup/channels, I selected Local Broadcast OTA, then Dallas-Ft. Worth analog broadcast.

Then it just hangs forever saying downloading channel lineup. I've also tried DFW/Local Broadcast, it also hangs.

I'm not sure which I should be using since the 150 is hooked up, at the moment, to an antenna. If abort this 'download', then go into channel lineup, nothing is there. I can manually add channels and it works. If I do a manual scan, it finds a bunch of channels during the scan, but after, none are added to the list.

Do I just need to leave this 'download' for 1 hour or something?

I'm running Save 6.3.10, in trial mode. Hope thats not the problem.. It looks like this is a full version demo with 21 day limit.. So far, everything looks good, I'll probably buy this and get an extender, but want to make sure I can get everything working first.

P.S. On my HD source, the picture looks really good, but while watching, I get occasional dropped frames that are noticeable during movement, etc.
Is this normal or should I be able to get 0 dropped frames playback?

Dual-core P4 3Ghz processor, 2 GB ram. 7600GS w/ PureVideo decoders. Deccheck shows PureVideo is default. 64K cluster on dedicated 2nd partition of primary system disk. CPU around 25-30% during playback.

Thanks, Mike

Check the firewall FAQ; maybe the port needed for the EPG data download is blocked. (I just tried & had no problem downloading channel lineup info.)

I don't have a local firewall, just the router blocking inbound connections.

Anyway, for a test, I tried resetting the 980 channels which had previously worked, but it also just hung up.

So, I simply shutdown Sage, restarted it, and then it worked fine. Go figure.

Thanks, it's working now. Now if I can figure out how to remove a channel that I added while trying to figure this out. Probably in an xml file somewhere.

If you added the channel, all you should have to do is choose to remap it, then Reset it -- see p. 159 of the v6.3-B PDF manual.

That worked. Thanks.

I know, next time RTFM.
