HD-PVRs and HVR-2250 not working

[nlancaster]

So been awhile since I have had any issues with my sagetv setup.

Took my server off its shelf and disconnected everything. cleaned it out and installed a new 2TB HDD into it. After reconnecting everything, I have been unable to properly tune any channels on the HVR-2250, and the IR blaster no longer works for one of the HD-PVRs.

Here is the setup:

AMD Athlong X2
2GB PC6400 memory
Windows XP Professional
SageTV 7.0.23
HVR-2250 (tried all existing drivers)
2 x HD-PVR (tried all existing drivers and software)

1st HD-PVR works fine with USB-UIRT tuning.
2nd HD-PVR can capture video just fine, but the IR blaster does not work and will not tune channels. blastcfg says no blaster hardware found.
HVR-2250 cannot find any local digital channels when scanned

Please help.

As rule don't use HD-PVR on board IR blaster use your USB-UIRT with zone support.
One possable is you got it hook wrong

Ok, how do I use zone support? I have one external jack for an IR transmitter, but have never been able to find one.

And since last night I have discovered the possible reason the IR blaster stops working. I have used hcwclear and removed all wintv drivers/software. After using the CD to reinstall the HD-PVR drivers it works fine, until I install the drivers for the HVR-2250. That is when the IR blaster stops working. Why does it do this. It worked before I disconnected the computer, and then stopped working after I turned it back on? And why won't the 2250 tune any channels at all, when it worked fine before disconnecting it.

Hauppauge only supports one IR in a system. If you check your IR blaster is probably working off of one of the 2250.
