Hauppauge Colossus Error Rendering Audio HDMI input

[Netdawg]

Long Story. I have an Hauppauge HD PVR connected to DirecTV H25 (only gives HDMI or Composite output). In order to get the HD PVR to work, I had to buy and HDMI to Component converter. It works beautifully. I wanted to add a second capture device. I bought another HD PVR, but I can't seem to find another HDMI to Component converter that actually works. I bought two on e-bay and both don't work like the one I have working. So, I thought this is crazy, I'll just get a Hauppauge Colossus because it accepts an HDMI input (as long as it's not encrypted). I installed Colossus and WinTV. It works. However when I try to add the video source to SageTV, I get a play back error rendering audio. My Audio Render is currently set to Default. Current version of SageTV is 7.1.9.12.

Anybody here? If so, thoughts of audio render to use that won't screw up the working HD PVR and will work with Colossus?

I thought the H25 had a dongle that produced Component? But that is one reason I got the H24 when I had the choice at Solid Signal. It (H24) had actual plugs for the component signal. When I check the specifications on the Solid Signal site they say component is possible with the 10pin mini din:http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...sku=8546300061

I bought the directv dongle, but it appears that there is no signal coming through it. I looked at menu options in the H25 and didn't see any options for controlling output ports. I returned the collisus. Looks like I'll try to find an hdmi to component that the hd-pvr will detect the signal.
