PVR 350 Output

[roco]

so......... does the output on the PVR 350 work with sage tv? i am not abe to get it to work?

System Details:
P4 1.8
WIN 2k
WinTV 2000
Sage 1.4 (newest)


Also, my wintv seems to struggle with having the pc and 350 outputs active, but the wintv 2000 output to tv works perfect.

thanks for your help...

cheers,
rob

Yes, it should work with a single PVR 350 card. Do you have the "Enable TV Out for PVR 350" option set?

[roco]

nope ......where is it?

[carlgar]

Setup ->Detailed Setup -> Multimedia
last option on that screen

btw: you may have to restart Sage TV for the option to take effect.

[roco]

hey thanks...........works like a charm..........

Is there anyway to only have the output go to the tv so that the pc does not display?

Cheers,
Rob

[roco]

Hey!!!! WAIIIIIITTTTT!!!

I only get the Picture but not the Sage menu and guides. Is there something wrong?

[Worf]

No. OSD support for the 350 will be in Sage 2.0.

[roco]

hmm...thats too bad. how about the ability to paly divx movies through the and other encoded movies through the 350 Out??

[Worf]

No, neither Divx or DVD will playback through the 350.

[roco]

...........ok one other question. is it possible to turn the pc playback off in favor of the tv output one?

rob

thanks for all the new user answers

You might want to go to the support page and look under customizations for the Properties File Configuration Options. following is a line from it, I believe hand is supposed to be hang.

videoframe/disable_sw_decoding - true/fales to completely disable software decoding when using a hardware decoder for playback (may cause system to hand for PVR-350)

ok........well after 2 days of troubleshooting.......i am over it

your sales rep was pretty good at selling me, but after a java stack overflow, 5 bluescreens, 2 reinstalls, 3 repairs, and now a video window that doesn't work, it would appear that this software is NQRPT (not quite ready for prime time) so good luck everyone. i hope 2.0 is better for all of you. i have a friend who reccomended Win XP Media Services and thats what I am going to try next.

cheers,

Your having os and java problems, it is not Sage. Maybe you should try with a clean config before you give up.

Good luck with XP-MCE, unless you have MSDN, your not gonna get it unless you shell out the cash for a new puter. Oh yeah, and no hardware decoders are supported by it.

Sorry it didn't work out for you man. I had my Sage setup running in less than 12 hours, including hardware assembly. I didn't find it to be a hassle in the least bit.
