Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 CableCard receiver - most channels missing

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hello,

My Hauppauge WinTV-DCR 2650 CableCard receiver is installed and working with Windows Media Center, except I don't get most channels. The HD channels I am getting are the big networks, ESPN and TNT.

System:

eMachines EL1850
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel Celeron E3400
2 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 video card

cable TV is into a Cisco STA1520 tuning adjuster, then into the Hauppauge receiver.

Cable provider is Cox in Vienna, VA. Just had a technician by, but there isn't much he can do. All channels are working on a Cox-provided HD receiver box.

One thing I heard is that Hauppauge may have special patches they provide that aren't available on their website?

Any further thoughts on how to get my channels working? Any further diagnostic info you need?

here is the full list of channels I am getting. most are not HD -- the HD channels are at the bottom.

Have you updated to the latest firmware version? From the MissingRemote review of the device:

Quote:


Update: Testing with the v29257 and v29259 driver/firmware package releases has revealed that tuning adapter support with our Cisco STA1520 is now working and SDV channels in the cable package can now be tuned properly.

Sounds like your exact issue.
