I'm in the UK and have a PCI WinTV card running on Win 2K (latest drivers- V3.06) and have hardcoded the frequencies for each channel.
However when I record a show or run the diagnostic, Snapstream will only record the last channel that the WinTV app was viewing and doesn't seem to be able to switch them. This happens no matter what channel I have choosen to record.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Duncan

I'm having this same problem here in
the US - using Win2K and the WinTV
model 401 (PCI w/ FM tuner) card.

Hope someone can help.

Which version of the software are you using?

The most recent version. I downloaded it
from your site yesterday.

Thanks for replying!

I think I figured out the problem, at least for my case.

Basically, what I had done is in the channel
setup, I had typed in my 7 antenna channels in spots 1 thru 7, and then typed in the channel numbers under frequency. After I spaced things out under the proper channel numbers and zeroed out/defaulted the frequency, things seem to work.

This might be something you want to consider changing in the interface. Even better - make an autoscan option like the WinTV card has.

Sorry, been away for a while. Thanks all, for the ideas. I'm just downloading version 13d now.
But, just incase we have our wires crossed I'll give an example of one of my channel setups...
Channel 1
Callsign - Blank (we don't have them here in the UK)
Network - BBC
Description - BBC1
Frequency - 479 (OK its actually 479.250)

Should this work?

Cheers,

Duncan
