WinTV-HVR-2250 - cannot access second video source?

[abexman]

I just replaced my HV-PVR500 with the 2250. I run the latest SageTV on my PC. I've got a GeForce 8600 GTS.

In SageTV, everything is working fine for recording my digital cable TV. However - when I plug my VCR into the daughter board on the 2250 - I cannot seem to access this source from SageTV. Any ideas why? I was hoping to record the VCR from SageTV if possible.

I can see the VCR fine on the "Composite 2" source in WinTV, but none of the following show the same source in SageTV: Composite, Composite2, Digital TV, SVideo, SVideo2 and TV Tuner. I am using the first tuner for my cable TV, and was trying to setup the second tuner with the VCR, though maybe in the future I will plugin a 2nd cable box - so it would be good to know how to configure this source.

I think you need to configure it in the tuner for one of the channels (I think the default is 1) to use the s-video or composite out of your vcr. Then tune to that channel. Check out the manual ro search the forum.
