Colossus no longer working

[smdear]

Hello, I'm following the instructions in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9e2eSRw5xQ since my EPG stopped working on my SageTv v7 system with a single Colossus single-tuner card. It accepts a HD component input from my provider's cable box.

Although my IR blaster is working to select channels on my cable box, no video is coming up any longer.

I brought up the WinTV7-PVR window (after stopping SageTV Service) and it wasn't working either.

Can anybody give me a clue how to debug this?

Also, I installed the OpenDCT service but did not see this option appear when selecting video sources, as it did on the video, so I wasn't sure if this was required for me or not.

You don't need OpenDCT with just a Colossus and it not made for that device any way

Make a backup copy your SageTV folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\ as in copy the folder to new places

Uninstall SageTV
Del the SageTV folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\
Reboot
Download the latest ver of SageTV which should be 9.1.7
Download the latest ver of LAV Filters which should be 0.70.2
Reinstall SageTV
You need get everything work first like you had it before
Note you may run decoder problem see screenshot
You my need copy over you IR form old SageTV backup to C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\Common\RemoteCodes\ if there one
Now that you everything going shut down
Just copy over you old wiz.bin that will restore
Restart SageTV

If you updated your driver from the Hauppauge web site then you may not be using a driver that actually works. I had to use an old driver to get the card to work on Windows 10. Thread below has link to old driver that works.
