Is the latest HVR-1600 driver 1.62.25129?

[tdalton]

Just curious if this is the latest driver or not it is dated 5/9/07 and was what installed w/ the 3.4D CD. I downloaded it from Hauppauge a couple of days ago but they seem old for as many problems as this card still seems to have. Does anyone have beta drivers or has anyone had success running any older version of Sage (I am running 6.35).

Check on SHSPVR forums.... http://www.shspvr.com/smf/ he will have anything newer or betas available most of the time!

Thanks. I've tried two different 1600s w/ the same result. I am just so anxious to get HD in Sage. I am still looking on the other forum I'll reply if I make any progress.

What are your "results"... I have been running a 1600 for a while now with little problem. What seem to be your problems?

I have the 1600 as well connected to a directv receiver and an antena recording ATSC local content and have no issues... What problems are you having?

It is not detecting any QAM channels on my digital cable that I tested straight to my TV and it piicks them up fine. I am going to try to manually add the channels tonight as suggested by someone else. I thought about trying to add them manually but being lazy I talked myself into believing it would not make a difference but now I'm inspired to give it whirl.

The 1600 is horrible for QAM reception. I've got 2 of them and am about to return them because of the poor QAM performance. My HDHomeRun detects 12 channels with signal strength between 88-98 while both 1600s detect 4 with signal strength around 76-78. The channels they do detect are very pixelated. I'm sure there are people doing QAM with them without problems, but the tuners just aren't that good with QAM.
