Cant Add HDHR

[kidplug]

I have a new HD HomeRun I'm trying to add to my Sage System.

I have upgraded to the new beta of Sage (6.5.7), and downloaded the latest setup from Silicon Dust. The setup procedure for the HDHR goes fine - channels are scanned, I have enabled them, set the guide name, etc. I can preview them with VLC (though its kind of choppy). Using cable btw.

When I try to Add new device in Sage, it lists the 2 HDHR tuners.
However, when I select the tuner and select Digital TV Tuner, the preview never comes up. It just says "Please wait for the video preview to load." It just hangs there forever.

During this, I dont see any bitrate data in the HDHR Manager - it just says 0.
From there I usually just have to click the Exit red X to shutdown Sage.

I have also recently added a Sage HD-200 extender, and the same thing happens when I try to add the device through that interface.

The SiliconDust install instructions says "no need to wait for the preview" - but I dont see any way to bypass it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mitch

I just found a post from Big Gerr - and he said try the Escape key.

That worked!
Woo - hoo!

Now we'll see if I can get the channels to come up...

Any luck getting you channels to come up? I ran into similar issues and gave up due to lack of time. I'm going to have next week off and hope to return to swapping 4 ntsc for 4 atsc and 2 QAM. Hearing of your success will give me hope!
