WinTv HVR-1600 ATSC setup

[jmarti31]

Hi Everyone,

New to sage and going crazy trying to set up this tuner card.

I am not interested in QAM just over the air ATSC locals. After set up i only have one channel that has a signal all others say 0% signal quality

In Vista media center all channels come in at 100% signal and look incredible.

Please help a newbie before i go nuts. Thanks

Hmmm....3+ years later, but I too am trying to do this now and not successful.

What are you having trouble with? More information would make things easier for us when trying to help.

I wasn't able to tune to any channels. Though, I figured it out. When adding the Video Source, I just blew by the video card selection, selecting the default WinTV 418 Video Capture. Once I slowed down and thought to select WinTV TS Capture card, then everything worked as expected. I don't know what "TS" is supposed to mean, but had it read ATSC it would have been obvious and wouldn't have spent as many hours as I did doing this

However, now I'm trying to figure out why HD playback is horrible...it stutters. If you have any insight to that, I'm all ears!

Well, that wasn't too hard - found to change the Video Renderer in Video/Audio in SageTV Details setup from VMR9 to Video Overlay. However, for HD video, it's "blocky". I guess I have some reading up to do about Renderers, Decoders, and Filters, Oh My!
