SageTV v7 Beta (win7 64 Bit)

[Bill1426]

When I try to install the Sagetv v7 (beta), on to my Win 7 Premium Home 64-bit
it keeps putting it in the 32bit section of program Files (x86)..
I have even tried to change the folder manually and on the next screen, right back to 32-bit..

Dell 546 AMD Athlon II x4 (630)
6gb ram
ATI 3200HD Video
Hauppauge 2250

Anyone else have this happen.. ??

ps: also having issues with the Hauppauge 2250 Tv Tuner. Might be because of the OS issue also...

That's where SageTV installs, in the x86 directory. I'm running the client on a Win7 Pro 64 bit and Sage runs fine where it's installed.

Ok Thanks...
But now the issue with the Hauppague 2250..

I know that in version 6 it was recommended that we not install in the default directory but instead in something like C:SageTv.
Is this still recommended?

This is expected. 32 bit apps should install into program files (x86), whereas 64 bit apps should go into program files.

[Bill1426]

That's why I asked...

It says Sagetv is 64-bit compatible, but yet installs in 32-bit folder.. (weird).

nothing weird about it. SageTV is 64-bit compatible, but is not a 64-bit program. Since it is a 32-bit program, it installis in the (x86) folder.

Ok.. Now that this is cleared up..
Anyone else having issues with the Hauppauge 2250 and SageTV 7 beta ??

1) Video rendering issue
2) Not picking up Clear QAM channels

I might have dreamed this, but wasn't there and issue about the amount of memory you were running (4gig or more) and this problem popped up??

Maybe someone can colaborate or tell me I'm crazy?

I think you are thinking of the 250/500 issue.

Yes, the 4GB memory limitation only applies to the older Hauppuage products (PVR150, 250, 350, 500), not the newer products such as HVR2250.

I'm having the exact same issue...two 2250's working fine with QAM in MediaCenter, can't see any QAM channels in SageTV v7.....any ideas yet?

Someone sent me a message to download the pre-release drivers from Hauppauge.. I did that,, now when it checks for channels it finds the QAM channels. But they are all mixed up..
Reg. Channel 2, shows Reg Channel 6... Nothing matches even with no remapping..
So I am now at a stand still...

if you want to try the pre-releases here is the FTP info..

ftp.hauppauge.com
login: anonymous
folder: /support/hvr2250

I tried the newest one (May11th)... Give the April 5th one a try,, maybe that one will work... Get back to me if you try it...

I remember reading that the installation now automatically modifies the permissions on the folder. Considering I've been able to modify those program directories by installing plugins, I'm assuming that the recommendation to install to a different folder no longer applies. But someone more knowledgeable should probably confirm if possible.
