Hi all,
Just a quick post to see if any of our members are willing / able to make a small donation to help cover our running costs?
I completely understand that times are hard for a lot of folks and many people are unable to offer any financial support.
Please don't feel pressured into donating...

I just saw this thread and I'm more than happy to contribute (that would be an absolute disaster if TGB disappeared...)
May I suggest pinning this thread to make it a bit more visible?

I see lots of posts on the Ceton cards and see a prime user's thread but not much on the DCR-2650.
Mine works pretty well. I still have some random tuner not found or searching for tuners though which makes it really low on the WAF. I ended up rolling back to an older beta driver and it helps but...

I have two TV receiver devices for my W7 Media Center PC. One is an internal Hauppauge 2250 PCI card and the other is an Ethernet-connected SiliconDust HD HomeRun Connect. Each one has two tuners. My question is: Since they're both connected to the same antenna splitter and both on 7dB connectors...
Last post
If you swap the input cables from the antenna splitter, does the problem follow the cable or does the Hauppauge still have the weaker signal?
It's possible that the tuners in the Hauppauge are simply not as good as the ones in the SD at picking up weaker signals, although I think that subchannels...

Well, I'm using your EPG solution for WMC/Win7 - I wouldn't say it was easy to set up for a novice, but I'm a button-presser so I persevered and it's now working very well. So I will probably give your W11 solution a go. Thanks!
