unable to watch live tv

[majortom]

I just got my hd-200 working an now for some reason I am unable to watch live tv. I can watch recorded shows and stream video clips just fine. I know everything Is hooked up right because when I go to channel set-up screen,where you can enable or disable channels, I can view and switch live tv programs.

When I went into the set-up video sources,the one where it gives a summary of your channel line up, color calibration, satellite box used, etc.. one of the lines stated "live tv:false" shouldn't that say true. If so, how can I enable both my pvr 150 cards to show true. I went to Sagetv properties but could not find the correct line. I only had this problem after I started using my hd-200. Any thoughts on how to fix this. Thanks for any help.

Does anyone have any ideas? I can not figure this out.

No ideas. Because LiveTV IS a recording. No difference. If you can record and watch the recordings then LiveTV is no different. Reboot everything and see if you still have the issue. In the setup it would only say LiveTV true if you were watching TV at the same time you checked out those details.

Thank you for the reply. Sorry, what I meant to say was, I can watch old recording of shows just fine. When I go to watch live tv, the osd shows paused. I can hit rew,ff,play,stop, etc but nothing takes it off of paused. When I leave it alone (on a channel) the green timeline get bigger from the paused point. I did a reinstall of Sagetv and changed all the codecs but nothing worked. I finally got 1 of my 150 cards to show live tv: true but when I tried to used it, it switched back to live tv: false, it will not put out a signal. Could the HD-200 be overriding Sagetv some way.
