Have you tried it without the splitter? Removing it would give you a little more signal strength.

HiPix DTV-200 AVS Edition Antenna connection problem
Anyone have a fix for me? When my DTV-200 starts recording with the TitanTV EPG, a message pops saying "Check Antenna 1 connection". When I watch using the tuner, the channel strength is at 87%. So I know it is getting a good signal. I can record manually when a show comes on but I want to be able to leave the PC on and come back to watch the recorded show when ever I want.
I'm running the HiPix DTV-200 with the V 3.5 AVS Edition software.
P3 650 MHz
128 MB Ram
Windows 98 SE2
(Don't laugh. It's paid for!)
The antenna feed is split with my HDTV w/ built in tuner that is working fine.

I do have the latest version the Bata 3.5.2.
I have done Weekly and once with the same results.

Did you try a clean install of the new HiPix software?
Try changing the antennae config.
I have my antennae split 3 ways and never have a problem recording. Signal strength can be at 20% and it will still record. The only time I had a problem with TitanTV was because I ran a registry fix that messed it up so I just reinstalled and everything works great.
Make sure you use the hipixcleaner available on the site. The problem I had with TitanTv was:
I could schedule a show no problem but no directory would ever be created as well as no files. Manual record created files and a directory. Just uninstalled using cleaner and reinstalled and it works great.

I've reinstalled the software using the hipixcleaner. Upgraded with the latest version 3.5.2 used the latest patches and updates. Also removed the splittier (signal strength still remained at about 87%) and connected directly to an attic mounted 4 bay HDTV antenna.
I get the same "Check antenna 1 connection". The antenna strength is at 0. Once I quit the recording session, Do a channel up, that channel comes in at 87%. I can do a channel down and the station that just showed 0% comes in fine at 87%.
I can channl surf with no problem and without any channel fall out.
Any other suggestions? Anyone else having this problem? Anyone able to record without problems on a system below a P3 650?

I had the same issue with my HiPix. The card was out of production and I got no help from here. I eventually replaced it with a MyHD card. I could watch TV all I wanted. I just could never schedule a recording. As soon as I clicked to OK box for a scheduled recording it would record as normal. Of course that means I have to be there to press the OK button. I just figured it was a hardware problem with my card since no one else saw the issue.
Glad I wasn't the only one.

PBMax,
What CPU and OS were you using the HiPix? Is it the same one that you have the MyHD card on?
Thanks for the input I just hope I don't have to buy a new card as I just bought this one.

I think I had a AMD 1700+ when I orginally used the card. I stuck this card in three different machines before I concluded it was a card issue. All the machines had Windows XP on it.
I just reinstalled the HiPix 2.3 version and the auto record function works. The antenna tunes much faster now also. It is not a hardware issue but software issue with the new drivers or AVS program. Anyone else have the same problem when upgrading?
