Make sure after updating the drivers you switch off the HD-PVR, reboot the entire server and switch the HD-PVR as the server is coming up. I ran the update to 1.5.6 and did this and had no issues. Recording from a Comcast STB using SPDIF and AC3 for audio.

Just to be clear, I am not having any errors with the 1.5.6 drivers. They are working fine for me now with AC3 via S/PDIF. It was just the initial install that whacked my system for some reason. I did shut down the entire system after the install as I always do.
Even the brief No Signal message I get when first tuning a channel doesn't generate an error in SageTV. And the drivers have been stable in my system for over a week now.

EDIT: I only get the No Signal on the first use each day for each HD-PVR and assume there's a reason for the on/off sequence. Quote:

"Upgraded" to the new drivers. Before I got lock-ups maybe once or twice a week. Now I'm getting four or five a day.
Perversely, this actually gives me hope that it's not a hardware issue; if it can be made worse with a driver it may be fixable with a driver. |

Now that's what I call a glass-half-full kind of guy.

I assumed the "bouncing" light was a result of Sage's adjustable delay in the properties file. It started happening the same time I first set that property.

I'm not sure why I messed with a good setup, but after upgrading to these drivers, I started getting lockups after 5-10 minutes. Rolled back to the 1.0.3.53 beta drivers I was using before. Everything is back to normal, no more lockups.

I'm still using 1.0.3.46 which I think may be the original drivers and I never have lockups. I just keep the covers off my HDPVRs. I won't even attempt any newer drivers until much testing has been done. Especially since newer drivers don't seem to work at all on Vista x64. I am kind of amazed with Hauppauge on the lack of stable drivers for the HDPVR.

Simonen, are you using the digital sound, or just stereo?
ToxMox, assume you're only stereo, since you're on original drivers. |

They seem to be the only ones that have ever worked for me. Yes, I am using the S/PDIF connection

Did anyone notice that the "Date" for the driver posted on the website changed to May 15, 2009 sometime in the past few weeks?
File name: hdpvr_1.5.6.0_beta.zip Date: May 15, 2009 File size: 4 MB I have an hdpvr_1.5.6.0_beta.zip that I downloaded from May 13th. Name and contents of zip file appear to be the same except for one small difference. The May 13th one I dowloaded and extracted: HcwDriverInstall.exe This file has a file version of 2.9.26242.0 And the May 15th one I just downloaded tonight: HcwDriverInstall.exe This file has a file version of 2.9.26059.0 File # versions appear to be different and lower for the more current one. Just an observation. |

Beta works for me!
I even played a bit with Windows 7 MCE, and DVBLink....The IRBlaster Remote is buggy with 7MCE.
So far working well with SageTV 6.5. Remote is a little slow, but it works. AC3 5.1.....its' all good Brad |

Has anyone tried to install this version on Vista 64 bit? When it was a beta there was a note stating that it was not supported in 64 bit OS systems. Now the official version says that it supports both 32 and 64 bit.

What is the status of this driver as of today? Are there still problems? I have an H21 Directv receiver connected to an HD PVR running analog stereo. I have been running this setup for 6 to 8 months and have never had a lockup that I see talked about here. Not even one. I would like to change it to DD5.1 but I am reluctant given the problems talked about here. I noticed that a new update to ArcSoft TME is now available also. Does this help with the DD5.1 problem?
