Hi,
i'm trying to get my wintv pvr usb2 to work under mac os.

I have Boot Camp installed, and it works perfectly under XP. So the Signal / Cable / Hardware etc. is not the Problem.

Under Mac OS, the software reports that no channels were found when doing a scan. I tried both Cable and Antenna options.

Under MyTV/x, i can see twisted images on some channels, just as if the signal was very poor.

System Profiler says:
Produkt-ID: 0x2400
Hersteller-ID: 0x2040 (Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc.)
Version: 8.00
Seriennummer: 2401-00-008304CC
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 480 MBit/s
Hersteller: Hauppauge
Standort-ID: 0xfd300000
Verfügbare Stromstärke (mA): 500
Erforderliche Stromstärke (mA): 0

Any suggestions?

are you using the EskapeLabs Macintosh drivers?

Yes I do. Which other drivers could I use?

I have MyTV/X 4.0.8 installed. Just like I mentioned in my first post:

... which is the reason why I opened this thread.
