Fixed an issue where a performance issue with the recording could be logged if transcode was enabled.
Fixed an issue where System Performance issue was logged during recording and stored in recording reason text, but was then overwritten by other text.
Added new SchedulerLogs folder in logs folder, always keeping a copy of the WinTVEPGLoader output in case of any scheduler type issues going forward, customer will always have the log.

Enable Signal Quality tick box now toggles between (on) Full Signal Monitor and (off) Poor Signal status. It's always "on" in background unless you manually set false will add it's own UI option when I tweak the settings menu. This means user don't lose the ability to use Signal Monitor to help position their aerial in the best place, but enables the new "Poor Signal" messsage
Updated PSIParser logging
Shows "Poor Signal" text when signal quality is under 90% (and not DVB-S)
Updated PSIParser with attempts to catch a rare crash and give useful logging.
Fixed an issue when editing the recurring recording, the padding value wasn't loaded into the edit screen, so the schedule being saved was different,so it saved another copy.

Fixed an issue when editing a recurring recording, the old master recurring wasn't deleted before saving the new one, which could cause duplicates.
Fixed an issue if a single recording was changed to a recurring recording, the old schedule could be duplicate.
Fixed an issue if a recurring recording was changed to a single recording, the old schedule could be duplicate.
Fixed issue the enable/disable signal quality button did not save between runs of the application. It is enabled by default to help customers know why they might see a black screen if quality is very poor.
Added two extra waits at the start of recordings if the numbers of tuners is 0, to allow time for tuners to fully wake up.
Fixed WinTV7 icon used in Add/Edit channels window
Fixed an issue when there are more than one channel with the same name, only the last channel with that name had listings.
Fixed an issue in the installer where the PCTV 461e could have two 00 at the start of the USB Serial Number, which caused the Activation Code to not work on a re-install.
Fixed issue restoring PIP window on a channel that had been un-ticked.
Fixed issue Autostarting LiveTV on a channel that had been un-ticked.
Added a check at WinTV startup to ensure both halves of any WinTV-quadHD have the mappings for scanned channels. Creating the mappings if missing.
Waiting 2000ms not 500ms for a recording to grow in size (when the recording file exists) before attempting to restart the recording.
Update satellite.xml for Astra 28.2E fixes some BBC channels had moved to DVB-S2 (H.264) from SD so were not in the transponder list.
Fixed an issue with recordings in the database that were missed but stuck, caused new recordings not to happen.
Fixed an issue with recordings not performed of there were more than 10,000 combined schedules/recordings in the database ever.
Fixed an issue where multiple scheduled recordings on the same channel could be treated as conflicts when trying to schedule a recording on another channel. e.g. two recordings on BBC One 13:00-13:30 and 13:30-14:00 wouldn't allow a recording on ITV1 at 13:00-14:00 on a dual Tuner.
Showing start date for recurring recordings if their start date is in the future.
Commented out DownloadArtwork placeholder code
Added a try/catch when trying to remove the Microsoft Network Provider filter, this could cause a non-fatal crash when closing a capture plugin, which would show as a crash in Event Viewer.

WinTV v10.0.41041

Fixed an issue in North America where shows from different channels on the same mux incorrect re-used EventID in the EPG data. This led to the Recording Button being missing from shows on the same mux at the same time as another recording was already set, because it thought it was already being recorded.
Fixed an issue where too many shows were allowed to be scheduled at the same time.
More useful logging when creating scheduled recordings.
Showing a list of tuners and if there is any issues when showing the user the message that they can't scheduled a recording because of lack of tuners
No longer changing the date to the next day if the user sets the clock to a date in the past. This worked ok with 24 hour clock but on an AM/PM clock it often ended up making the scheduled recording not start until the next day by mistake. Will add a patch when using AM/PM to change from AM/PM automatically rather than changing the date field.
Added logging around cancelling a recording from the scheduler UI, in case of any problems with the API change in 10.0.41034
Checking if the quadHD is present when copying mappings to the second tuner to avoid copying a set of mappings to a tuner not plugged in, but had been in the database.

WinTV v10.0.41031

Updates to the Scheduler

Fixed an issue where a duplicate recording could be scheduled if there weren't enough tuners. For example: a Season Recording of "BBC News and Weather" on BBC1 was set. If then "BBC News" was set as a season Recording, it would name match (correctly) but it was already scheduled. Now checking against existing schedules. The check was there but the list it used was empty.
Performance optimisation when creating the overnight Season recordings, they are now 60% faster to create during the overnight event.
Small Performance optimisation when adding a Season recording in the EPG.
Small Performance optimisation when adding a recurring recording.
Performance optimisation when checking for overlaps
Fixed an exception when the Scheduler was reloaded after adding a schedule, since it wasn't visible on the screen it caused an exception
Added placeholder for RecordingPossibleList so you can check all the individual recordings from a season recording in one go to speed things up.
Massive performance increase processing Recurring Recordings. Reduced time to schedule 719 recurring recordings from 27mins 20seconds to 20 seconds.
Fixed an issue with the filename if a scheduled recording attempted to restart because it failed first time and then the old recording file wasn't able to be deleted. The resulting filename could be invalid.
Added option to perform overnight maintenance of HauppaugeTVServer for optimum performance with large numbers of scheduled recordings. true When the overnight wintvepgloader -recurring is run, if WinTV isn't running and WinTV isn't recording, it will perform a restart of HauppaugeTVServer to ensure it's running at optimal performance.

Other updates

Fixed an issue with logging in HauppaugeTVServer that could cause a WinTV crash.
Made a change to improve seeking of LiveTV, fixes sometimes video not starting when seeking. Applying same fix that was added for Recorded TV files a while ago.
Fixed an issue in France where adjacent channels were skipped during a scan.
Removed dBMV label for strength. It's actually usually mdB but can vary across products.
Updated Satellite transponder list for TurkSat 42.0E

Fixed an issue creating mappings for the second half of the original WinTV-quadHD board when scanned through settings. Mainly would only happen if you had multiple board or a mix of original/new quadHD boards present.
Added extra logging around Manual Scheduled recording. User reported incorrect warnings being shown around recordings that were back to back.
Added warning in Recordings Folder and Logs if the recording folder uses FAT32, that recordings are limited to 4GB per file.
updated HCWTSfilter.ax

WinTV v10.0.40286

Added option to prompt for recording filename when pressing Record. It also optionally allows you to specify a subdirectory for the recording. This is off by default but can be enabled.
Added option to prompt for snapshot filename
Checking if the specified recording or snapshot filename exists to avoid duplicate. Adding a date/time mask to ensure no duplicates.

WinTV v10.0.40275

Added option in TV Guide to Schedule to watch a single program. The task is added to Windows Task Scheduler, which runs if the user is logged on.
Added option in Scheduler Manual Recording screen to schedule to watch a program. This can be customised, to any time/day/repeating combination. The task is added to Windows Task Scheduler, which runs if the user is logged on.
Setting 'Expired Tasks' to delete 1 minute after run (Recurring tasks can be managed via Windows Task Scheduler app)
Fixed bug which could cause the WinTV-quadHD-USB not to be detected when SecureBoot is enabled.
Slight text update when showing the a warning message on the WinTV-HVR-935 Rev B5I6, WinTV-quadHD Rev B5I, WinTV-HVR-5525 Rev C4I6 under Windows 7 and 8 to indicate that the user does have secure boot on and warns them they might need to upgrade their OS for the product to work (or disable secure boot) - This message only comes up now on Windows 7 or 8 if secure boot is on, otherwise the new driver gets automatically installed and user will have a seamless experience.
Detecting if SecureBoot is enabled and if it is not, deploying the latest drivers updates on Windows 7/8. On Windows 7/8, Microsoft no longer allows new vendor signed drivers due to the Microsoft certificate expiring.
Installs the correct Win7/8 updated driver for products that require it (like WinTV-HVR-935 Rev B5I6, WinTV-quadHD Rev B5I, WinTV-HVR-5525 Rev C4I6). On previous WinTV v10 versions, the WinTV v10 installer would install the "win10" version of the driver
Multiple quadHD products correctly supported in WinTV v10. The second "half" of each board gets hidden, but if you had, lets say a WinTV-quadHD and a WinTV-quadHD USB, the wrong halve could be hidden, depending on the order each part was added to the database.
When moving time forward in scheduler to a value that would be next day e.g. Time is 23:00 and you set 01:00, the start date value gets moved on to the correct day.
"Add another Hauppauge TV tuner to enable Picture-in-Picture" is now translatable. Fixed some Picture in Picture translations
Bug fix: PIP dual tuner mode controls were not visble despite the tick being shown if you started in Dual Tuner Mode, then went to Four Tuner Mode, then back to Single Tuner mode.
Hiding second half of new WinTV-quadHD Model 177xxx/178xxx in Devices page
Adds support for new WinTV-quadHD Model 177xxx/178xxx
No longer forcing a driver update on Windows 7/8 for new rev WinTV-quadHD/WinTV-HVR-935 when the 'Don't install driver' box is ticked.
Closing the channel scan wizard on all products except WinTV-quadHD and WinTV-quadHD-USB is now 2.8 seconds quicker.
New driver for WinTV-soloHD, WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-quadHD-USB and WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2/PCTV 461e 5.2022.0927.40271.
- Supports Multiple WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2/PCTV 461e sticks, previously streaming would stop on one stick when another stick was stopped. (Huge thanks to Andre for the testing)
- Signal Quality values are shown correctly, previously values would show very low, even for a strong, perfect signal.
- Fixed very slow tuning on the WinTV-quadHD-USB

WinTV v10.0.40234

Loading the Recording List and Scheduler Lists are much faster. A long list or recodings or scheduled recordings could take 30 seconds. Now items are loaded as you scroll, so load time is around 2-3 seconds.
Fixed an issue that if the recording folder had been changed, the list of recordings weren't all sorted alphabetically (because the sort method included the full filename path).
Fixed an issue in the scheduler and recording list update where the chosen order wasn't used.
Speeded up adding a new season or recurring recording: adding a season or recurring recording is now around 2.5 seconds quicker.
Labelling for Single/Recurring/Season recordings more unified.
Added a check if a duplicate recording has been added on the same channel during the same time. WinTV now warns the user (even if they have enough tuners to actually perform it)
Fixed issue that HauppaugeTVServer would say the service hasn't started even if it was running (when TVServer took a little longer than usual to complete startup).
Fixed a crash in the Capture Plugins that would crash when HauppaugeTVServer was stopped, this logged lots of crashes in Event Viewer, which weren't really an issue.
Fixed issue that signal quality wasn't displayed after changing channels, especially DVB-T2 to DVB-T or vice versa.
Clearing subtitles when they are turned off in WinTVSDK.
Fixed Analog CC's not being displayed during playback/live (HCWTSReader update)
Fixed issue that could cause some pause buffer files to be left behind. This was mainly an issue in the SDK, as WinTV v10 would manually clean these up.

WinTV v10.0.40166

Fixes an issue with the WinTV-quadHD Rev B5I6 where there could be jerky video, even though signal quality indicated 100% (This is a reg key fix enabled only for the B5I6 model)
Analog close caption support is enabled by default now. Any problems unregister C:\Program Files (x86)\WinTV\WinTV10\hcwvbislicer.ax
Fixed cosmetic issue pressing Control + D on a non digital product which doesn't support Signal Strength/Quality

Recording improvements and bug fixes

Padding feature expanded to support multiple tuners (not just 1 or 2) which will help prevent missed recordings.
Fixed issue where if padding overlapped a recording and there were multiple tuners, it could try to start recording early when the tuner wasn't available.
Fixed issue that when trying to get the channel name a recording was recorded on, if we didn't have the channel and we had previously got a channel number, that was used instead of being blank.
Checking channel number when filtering duplicate scheduled recordings. This will avoid a Season Recording on BBC One at 11pm being seen as duplicate to an 11pm Season recording on ITV.
Fixed an issue that if a user had scheduled a single or recurring event and then a season recording was also added for that event, it could lead to a duplicate recording at the same time being added, causing too many recordings to be attempted for the number of tuners available, leading to missed recordings.
Fixed season recordings that matched with the wildcard, did not use the full name e.g. Season Recording of "Top Gear" would record "Top Gear: Polar Special" but the name would be just recorded as "Top Gear"
Fixed an issue that when editing an existing scheduled recording, no conflict checking was done. This could lead to more recordings than tuners being available.
Fixed an issue where a recording could be attempted to be started early when padding conflicted causing the recording to fail.
Added new override in RecordingPossible() to pass in the current recordingID that's being edited, to allow conflict check to work correctly, otherwise it treated the current recording as a extra to the version of the recording being saved.
Getting the EPG Event name for season recording.

WinTV v10.0.40143

Fixed a crash in the HEVC decoder which caused HEVC decoder initialization failed message by rolling back to the previous version. The new HEVC decoder is still deployed in Croatia, where the updated version was required.
Fixed an issue playing HE-AAC Radio channels in Germany, where the HE-AAC audio decoder would not give audio. Now using the ArcSoft Audio Decoder HD for radio, but respecting the decoder choice still for HEVC Video channels.
Fixed Copyright date in About and Settings page
Updated text around the SPDIF Output option to make it clearer

WinTV v10.0.40118

https://s3.amazonaws.com/hauppauge/wintv10/wintv10setup_40118.exe

Added check that settings-master-dont-edit.xml is valid, if it's not restoring from a backup version of the file
Showing a warning to the user if the settings and settings-master-dont-edit.xml (and the backup version) are all broken, rather than the app just not being able to open.
Added logging around 'AutoStartIR' function.
Fixed 32-bit HD PVR 2/Colossus2 driver was missing

WinTV v10.0.40103

Fixed an issue where the installer could hang copying files
XMLTV support: if you put an XMLTV file in c:\users\public\wintv named tvguide.xml you can use XMLTV Guide. Each channel needs to have it's EPG Source changed in 'Settings' (gear icon on the lower left of WinTV) -> 'All Channels'. Select a channel and choose 'Details', then change 'EPG Source' to the chosen EPG channel. EPG Update now loads XMLTV after the live EPG data, so live data doesn't override the XMLTV data.

WinTV v10.0.40091

https://s3.amazonaws.com/hauppauge/wintv10/wintv10setup_40091.exe

Updated HEVC decoder to fix issue with image being zoomed off the screen in Croatia
Showing Model and MAC being used in Details (when you press Control + D) great for if you have multiple products running and not sure which Window is for which TV tuner
Signal Quality Monitor now part of the WinTV v10 application:
- While watching live TV, hit Ctrl-D to bring up status, which now includes Signal Quality
- Titlebar shows the signal quality and updates in real time
- Fixes for Signal Quality Monitor in 2 tuner PIP mode and 4 tuner PIP mode
- Fixed issue Signal Quality didn't work after channel change
- Signal Quality Status can be turned on/off from Advanced Options
Added missing UK channel logo
Skin.xml updated to make all items fit on screen when pressing Control + D
Fixed issue that in the installer under certain upgrade cases the blank master database file wasn't copied, so the new logic to fix a bad database couldn't copy a replacement file over. This presented as having issues saving a channel scan, because it could end up using a really old WinTV v8 database that had missing tables in the channel database
Updated translations

WinTV v10.0.40075

https://hauppauge.s3.amazonaws.com/wintv10/wintv10setup_40075.exe

Fixed an issue causing an older driver for the HVR-930 (16xxx) to be installed, not the new driver which fixed a Windows 10/11 issue of jerky capture
Added <IRBlasterStartupDelay>0</IRBlasterStartupDelay> support to allow for a delay after resume from sleep
Fixed an issue double checking the StreamType from the ServiceInformation, when the broadcaster isn't sending <Streams>. Now checking if it's null before using it. Caused an channels not to be found during a scan.
IR32.exe is signed
Added support to update polarisation and symbole rate during a DVB-S scan if the channel already exists.
When checking if a DVB channels are duplicate, now considering 'frequency', 'serviceType', 'polarisation' and 'symbol rate'. Fixes an issue where if serviceType was changed it never hit the code that updated the serviceType because the channel wasn't found in the channel list as it was deemed to be a duplicate.
Fixed issue in Italy after switchover which caused some channels to not show Video. StreamType 0x80(128) teletext stream was incorrectly detected, which caused the video to be detected as MPEG-2 not H.264
Fixed a crash changing the sort order for the Recording list. The old list's handles weren't cleared which caused a crash
DBCheck now checking the last good channel database it restored from and if that is also bad, then restores from a blank database
Added 'GetChannelByPreferenceNumberCache' so when getting the channel name for a long list of recording items, we can do this quicker than accessing the database for each iteration. This reduces time from 12ms to 4ms to add a recording to the list, which saves a huge amount of time on a long list
Added support to use [DEST_FILEONLY] which returns just the filename without path in the ffmpeg autoconvert command line. This allows a user to add a custom path for the output file (for example)
Fixed an issue if you clicked on the channel name in the TV Guide, it could cause the left hand pane to scroll when using the mouse wheel rather than the whole page.
Updated channel logos for UK
Colour changed on channel name in TV Guide. WhiteSmoke not DarkGrey which fixes an issue with transparant logos
Showing the channel number for DVB channels in the TV Guide even when using a logo
TV Guide no longer has a big delay opening
Recording List loads much faster now, especially with long channel lists
Saving the prefered Recording List sorting method to settings.xml
Added <ShowOrphanRecordings> for test purposes

Added 3700ms delay to DVBSubtitles to stop them behind ahead of "live"
Fixed an issue that Subtitle sync was out at the start unless you skipped in the stream.
Fixed link to ffmpeg builds from Advanced Settings
Added support for new WinTV-HVR-5525 Rev C4I6 with D60 demod (same Windows7/8 issues as the quadHD etc, no signed driver)
Optimised installer size
Added support for new WinTV-HVR-935 Rev G3I6 in the installer
Added option to not start IR each time with <AutoStartIR>false</AutoStartIR>
Added option to not close the TV Guide when clicking watch button <KeepEPGOpen>false</KeepEPGOpen> (customer request)

Changes to fix failed recordings:

Changed the way WinTV retries if a scheduled recording fails. Now we stop the tuner and restart it. This should help in situations where there is no data from the card due to a momentary weak TV signal
Finishing failed recordings rather than leaving them stuck as "Recording". Failed recordings might be due to a temporary loss in the TV signal (antenna moving, trucks passing by a building causing temporary reflections, etc.)
Saving the signal quality and strength as the status for failed recordings (where it failed on 1st and 2nd attempt)
Not overwriting the Scheduled Recording "Reason" field in HauppaugeTVServer for early finished recordings (which previously overwrote status messages made by WinTVRec
Fixed issue if the recording ended a couple of seconds early due to startup time a minute could be taken off the end time in the recording list.

Other changes

Fixed issue on QAM if a QAM channel changed frequency and channel was previously in the database, the channel wasn't updated to the new frequency
Fixed issue on ATSC/QAM/DVB-C/DVB-T/DVB-S if the ServiceType in the stream changed, it wasn't updating during the new scan. (e.g. If it was saved as MPEG-2, then changed to H.264, it would remain as MPEG-2)
Adds support for Colossus2 Rev F0 and F1. Added Asmedia driver for Colossus2 on Windows 7.
Fixed issue installing Asmedia driver on Windows 7 32-bit OS
Fixed Windows 7 and 8 64-bit driver for HDPVR2/Colossus2 was old and unsigned.
Fixed Win7/8 and Win10/11 hcw85bda driver no longer have common 64-bit components as they are different versions. WinTV v10 download increases by 5Mb
Fixed WinTV-HVR-5525 had a patch to install a different driver on 64-bit OS to fix a DiSEQ issue
Updated HauppaugeTVServer to correctly set the video standard in non game mode.
Remove a tuning optimisation that could lead to missed scheduled recordings on WinTV-quadHD
Logging signal quality and strength when starting a recording for and also when the user presses Control + D during Live TV
Showing frequency (or channel number for ATSC) in the Signal Strength Details (customer request)
Showing a warning on Windows 7 and 8 when using the new revision WinTV-quadHD (Rev B5I6) and will attempt to install the Windows 10 newer driver which will likely not load depending on PC configuration.

Updated driver to support new model European DVB-C/T/T2 WinTV-quadHD 1.59.39158 This model is only 'officially' supported on Windows 10 / Windows 11 due to new Microsoft driver signing process
Increased the device lease time from 40 seconds to 120 seconds when recording. This should help where a customers PC just has a random 30 second or 60 gaps in the timer which is supposed to run every 3 seconds. This gap caused the lease to timeout and the recording stopped early
Removed a change to detect DCR devies when a regular Hauppauge device was also connected.
Fixed EPG update was being attempted on FM Radio channels
Removed Android Flash support in WinTV Extend. It now goes to the correct Android web pages no matter what version Android OS is loaded.
NAS recording updates: Added a different 5 second wait and retry if network path isn't available. This can be triggered becaus the NAS is a sleep, the first attempt wakes it up then is availble for retry.

WinTV v10.0.39326

Moved some TVServer logging into the regular log files instead.
Showing soft warning if the user already has a network connection to the NAS recording directory, since we can't actually test the username/password.
Added logging for lease not renewing on Scheduled recordings. There is a 1 minute gap in the logs when renewing lease on customers PC which causes the lease to expire.
Checking if recording name exists before starting. If it does, change the name so it can record. Fixes an issue where customer tried to record "NFL Highlights" on two channels at the same time both would result in same filename
Fixed Game mode wasn't deleting slip files.
Game mode now doesn't use slip files when recording is enabled.
Fixed quality wasn't being set for Analog baseband inputs.

WinTV v10.0.39306

New feature: record your TV programs to a network drive. You can now record to a network drive (NAS drive). This setting is in Settings -> Recordings -> Network Recordings. The recording is initially recorded onto a local disk drive, and then copied over to the netwrok drive after the recording is complete. When the copy is finished, you can optionally have the original recording deleted from your local disk drive. Network recordings are shown in the Recording List so you can play the recorings back in WinTV v10 from the NAS drive. Added a 5 second wait and retry when copying scheduled recordings to the NAS drive. Only copying to network if TS2PS is OFF for this release. Speed up network access when there is already a drive mapping. WinTV v10 now tries to copy first without credentials then with credentials, to avoid a 17 second timeout when there is an existing connection to the Network drive. Trimming trailing \ at and of network share name if user typed it with extra \ at end. 'Browse network location' button checks if the connection can be made before opening at that location, if it can't it opens the default My Computer window and blanks the box. Re-using existing network connection if a connection is already made when accessing network files.
Channel database corruption checks: The channel database holds the list of TV channel frequencies plus keeps the Scheduled Recordings list. This new function checks for MDAC failure when connecting to the channel database. Added a check for the database connection at WinTV startup, verfies the oledb32.dll database connection is functioning. Getting the error code form inside databasehelper. Added a check for the database file contents, verifies the database is valid. Attempts to restore from 'last good' or a blank database. This should resolve any instances of the app just "Not opening" and help user or at least give them the info why. Added a check for the database file contents, verifies the database is valid. Attempts to restore from lastgood or a blank database. This should resolve any instances of the app just "Not opening" an help user or at least give them the info why.
Added Procamp colour controls for WinTV devices with analog video support (the WinTV-HVR-955Q, 935Q, HD PVR 2, etc.):
Procamp (the brightness, contrast and saturation color controls) can now be changed while viewing Live TV. Procamp settings are under 'Settings -> Padding/Quality' If you have slip mode enabled there is a few second delay between changing values and seeing the values applied on screen. Procamp control is only enabled when an Analog product is connected. Only allowing modification of Procamp values while LiveTV is running. Loading default procamp values from hardware on first run.
Fixed a crash on some PCs going to full screen on Windows 7
Add frame rate and interlaced status to Stream Details (For HD PVR 2 style devices/recordings)
Added place holder to get frame rate for DVB streams.
TVServer update to potentially fix PAL-60 issue.
Added UI message if the skin files are missing which can prevent the app from starting at all without any UI message.
HEVC decoder not installed on 32-bit Windows OS, where the decoder is not supported. Appropriate warning shown to user in HEVC required countries.
Fixed issue building HauppaugeTVServerPS.dll
Added logging for a customer who had issues starting up WinTV after a few tries and required reboot to work again
Added option to specify recording name/sub folder. Needs a few tweaks like checking for blank filenames but for those wanting to test, set
< ShowRecordingWindow>default</ShowRecordingWindow>
from
<ShowRecordingWindow>none</ShowRecordingWindow>
Duration of orphaned TS files is now shown (e.g. if you emptied the databased and re-installed) - this is used when Network Recording is enabled.
Showing how long into the recording you watched not just "Watched" text
Analog Aspect Ratio now set on StreamEEz/HDPVR2/Colossus2 (Allows the capture of 16:9 SD content now)
Logging Quality and Strength to the log.txt when you press Control + D
Added support for AV Header on Colossus2. Fixed audio was not coming from AV header on Colossus and Colossus2. Fixed second composite/s-video wasn't being tuned on Colossus2
Fixed issue in Malaysia where some channels don't have in the Sevice information - for future placeholder channels, would cause not channels to be found on that frequency.
Added extra logging to WinTVTray

WinTV v10.0.39227

Fixed Procamp settings didn't work on USB Live 2.
Fixed Signal Quality not working after a channel change
Fixed skipping back after previously skipping forward to live again, resulted in rewinding to the wrong point.
First skip back is now accurate. Previously it was the chosen skipback seconds plus the number of seconds that product had buffered before starting LiveTV
'Use Hardware acceleration' for H.264 value is now respected. This was previously disabled because customers had an issue with 3+ channels with 'Use Hardware acceleration' for H.264 on. But some customers needed it turned on. So if customers have issues with Four Tuner PIP mode in countries with H.264, they will have to enable/disable this manually.

WinTV v10.0.39211

Fixed Analog Scan which was broken.
Added seperate tick box for H264 and MPEG2 Hardware Acceleration. Fixes an issue where MPEG-2 acceleration was turned on in 4 tuner PIP mode, but H264 acceleration was disabled.

WinTV v10.0.39159

Fixed an issue where tuner count for WinTV-quadHD USB was 8 not 4, causing too many scheduled recordings to be allowed to be recorded.
Fixed spacing issue in logging.
HauppaugeTVServer is now handling setting the next run event for EPG Update (previously this was set in WinTVEPGLoader). If the PC was off for the event the time wouldn't be updated to the next 6 hour slot. e.g. EPG Update at 8am: PC was turned on at 9am, the next EPG update would not happen until 8am the next day. Now it will run as expected at 2pm (or straight away if the option to perform EPG Update at boot is set)
Fixed issue playback stored position wasn't loaded from the database, only from memory of last used files.
Added option to increase context menu size:
<ContextMenuFont>Segoe UI</ContextMenuFont>
<ContextMenuFontSize>9</ContextMenuFontSize>
Added extra wait when getting status from TVServer to allow it to get the corrrect status when the TV Tuner being used for a recording.
Added option to increase font size for channel list to help in full screen mode on 4K displays. Will re-visit this to add support automatically for this based on the zoom level used in the OS, so things appear bigger automatically when requested.
Added UI message when tuner is stolen for EPG update (however TVServer doesn't currently allow it)

DVB-S updates

Not performing EPG update on DVB-S frequencies when <EPGChannelNameMatch> is true since the EPG data will come from the other source.
Showing correct value when EPG update takes over 1 hour (e.g. on DVB-S in Germany)
Added option <EPGChannelNameMatch>true</EPGChannelNameMatch> which allows DVB-S to use the EPG listings from other sources (e.g. DVB-T). This provides 7 day EPG for most channels in the UK where there is no guide data broadcast on DVB-S. If a customer would like to receive the 7 day EPG for their DVB-S product, they can purchase a DVB-T tuner to provide this data (or if they have a hybrid product like the HVR-5500)
Creating EPG listings for several "+1 hour" versions of channels that are only broadcast on DVB-S and not DVB-T, from the original non +1 channel

WinTV v10.0.39104

Fixed issue adding a scheduled recording: existing Recurring recordings could cause a false positive that the tuner was in use, due to UTC vs Local Time differences
Fixed an issue scheduling a new event from the EPG, if the time zone was not the same as UTC time. The data passed in to check was in UTC, but the existing scheduled recordings list was in LocalTime. This caused "no conflicts" where there should be some and "false conflicts" where recording should be possible.
Added more information to the message box that tells the user recording is not possible.

Close caption updates

Added new interface EnableCC to allow switching of CC tracks. Context Menu now present a list of CC tracks to select from
Updated Nablet MPEG-2 Decoder to support CC3/CC4 tracks
Removed CC5-8 tracks from UI
Added API on Nablet MPEG-2 Decoder to set 2nd field for CC3/CC4
CC/Subtitle UI options are now based around the product connected, not just the product in the database. If no products connected, it falls back to the list of products in the database.

Other updates

Setting next run of WinTVEPGLoader before updating EPG. In case the update fails, the next time wouldn't be set.
Updated Nablet MPEG-2 Decoder. Fixed issue using the deinterlacer filter with the Nablet MPEG-2 Decoder in WinTV Extend.
Text change in Scheduler when no event for a Season recording is scheduled because it's not on currently.

Updated HEVC decoder which fixes issue that the decoder would only work under the user account it was first registered.

WinTV v10.0.39084

Recording logs are now stored in their own subfolder when extended logging isn't turned on. Previously this only happened with Extended logging on.
Ignoring SDT tale on ATSC over TVCT, which could cause channels not to be found if there was also a DVB style SDT table in the stream
Not doing the fallback LiveTV start attempted if EPG update is in progress, to avoid a loop it could get stuck in.
Fixed issue with second half of quadHD PCIe not being found in a previous beta version
Adds BETA support for padding feature and more than one TV Tuner

Recording and Scheduled recording updates

Fixed issue where scheduled recordings could be missed with more than one tuner present, depending on the start and end time of previous recordings.
Fixed an issue checking for overlaps in sheduled recordings (bug caused converting to local time twice).
Scheduled recording logs (WinTVRec-xxx.txt) are now always created even when extended logging isn't enabled. They are also put in their own subfolder to keep it tidy C:\users\public\wintv\logs\RecordingLogs\
WinTV Recording logs files now have date and time in the filename, to make it easier to find the correct file.
Lots fixes and improvements when you have multiple TV tuners resulting in conflicts and lost recordings
Fixed issue with multiple instances of Capture Plugins appearing, causing multiple recordings to be able to be scheduled when there aren't enough tuners, which could cause a crash to show in Event Viewer.

https://hauppauge.s3.amazonaws.com/wintv10/wintv10setup_39058.exe

No longer setting VMR9 as default on Intel Graphics and Windows 10 since some PCs have broken VMR9 Renderer's which causes a crash in the Intel Graphics driver. If you see an OSD flicker, this can be solved by changing to VMR9 in Settings -> General -> Video Renderer.
Fixed an issue registering the HEVC codec on some PC's, which caused the install to hang at the HEVC stage. Install will just continue now. We will work on why the decoder can't be registered on some PC's and will be resolved in a future build.
BitDefender work around: uses an alternative method to get TV tuner Model/MAC when Bitdefender is installer OR if the installer crashes during hcwpnp32 detection. It will always use this method if it detects Bitdefender on the PC. If Bitdefender isn't on the PC and it crashes during hcwpnp32, the next run of the installer will use the alternative method using prodinfo.exe
BitDefender work around: fixes an issue where BitDefender could quarantine the installer.
MajorMinor number support for ClearQAM as well as ATSC now. (still needs to be manually enabled currently)

EPG and Scheduler updates:

Fixed issue that the Collect EPG at PC Startup button setting wasn't loaded when Guide page loaded, so always got set off.
Fixed an isue in TVServer that the EPG Update wouldn't run first time after being enabled. Now if the EPG Update time is reached and TVServer hasn't started in the last 5 minutes, then the full EPG Update will run, otherwise just the recurring event will run.

Added button Update EPG at PC Startup if update was missed for DVB products (Logic in TVServer needs changing around "First run vs just started TVServer late" so Full EPG update happens the first time you enable it.)
Enabling/Disabling 'Wake for EPG' and 'UPdate EPG at PC Startup' buttons when Automatic EPG Update is on/off
Fixed issue selecting a suite from the TV Guide, did not take into account Analog TV had been removed from the list, so the wrong suite was chosen.
Hidden FM Radio favourite list from TV guide
Fixed a cosmetic issue when a season recording didn't have any up coming events. Now shows a nice message on screen so user understands why it's not recording

Updated satellites.xml for Astra 28.2E
StartScanningTransponder now returns if it started correctly or not, so the Front end app, can show some status, rather than blindly not finding anything. Status implemented for Analog, since this is where issues like Cortana using the tuner happen. Will find a DVB graph that won't run and implement status there too. JerryH has a customer that doesn't "find channels" on a particular PC, this sound like a candidate for the check.
Waiting 3000ms after adding recurring recordings at TVServer startup, before telling TVServer to reload them to avoid an MS Access commit bug. This meant any missed recordings wouldn't be started until the next reload

Fixed Update EPG button didnt collect full EPG on DVB-S
Fixed an issue playing recordings on Android, increased the wait for the first 2 chunks to appear.
Fixed a number of memory leaks in HauppaugeTVServer, so long term usage performance should be increased.

WinTV v10.0.38234

Fixed an issue scheduling Season recordings, some events could be missed as UTC time, not local time, was being used for the comparison. This could lead to conflicts where there were none. You would press season record and the item wouldn't be highlighted to show it was recording (In the UK this would happen if recordings were next to each other, but in the US this would happen if they were 5 hours apart)
Force de-interlacing mode on VRM9 renderer

WinTV v10.0.38232

Detecting if the file we are going to playback is Radio or not (to allow us to use an alternative Demux for radio)

WinTV v10.0.38190

Fixed a long standing issue when changing channels, you could get a black screen. This would happen when changing TV muxes, but there was stale data from the last mux after tuning, so the Audio and Video PID's were set to the previous channels values, resulting in a black screen
Storing last used IR Blaster channel used with WinTVRec, so we avoid re-blasting (two IR blasts very quickly together which could cause a failure) if we are already on that channel during the automatic retry which happens. This is not used for Live TV and reset after the recording finishes, so the next recording on the same channel will still perform the IR Blaster function.
Added support to use CC's on Nablet MPEG-2 Video Decoder
Removed noisy logging around CC's
Storing Preferred EPG language value from the Preferred Audio Language value in Settings.

WinTV v10.0.38176

Improvements to support multi-tuner installations
Added an option true to warn when entering full screen in quadPIP mode even if you aren't recording. (Customer request - default no action)
Stripping & from Live TV and Scheduled Recording filenames
Parsing & to 'ampersand' inside any XML incase & is in the status from HauppaugeTVServer
Fixed a text field in Settings wasn't long enough for the Italian translation.
Changed to look for Contains Recording not StartsWith in RenewLease()
Fixed an issue getting the tuner status on multi tuner setup, particularly around
Fixed an issue when tuner was stolen for recording. Sometimes it could get stuck showing 'No Tuner Available' rather than playing the in-progress recording. Logging around stealing tuners added
Info bar in quad Mode PIP hides after 3 seconds now without having to click the mouse button first.
Logging potential overlapping recordings when scheduling
Showing channel number that overlapping scheduled recordings are on in case they have the same Name and Time but aren't REALLY duplicate
Checking if LiveTV started ok when changing channels (like we do from Stopped)
Reporting "No TV Tuners connected" when LiveTV is attempted to start and no tuners are actually plugged in.
Reporting if a tuner is available but hasn't scanned in that particular channel either because it's a different source to the tuner or because the user really hasn't scanned channels on that tuner. This might happen if you switch TV tuners and haven't scanned for channels yet.
Since the graph cannot get the duration of an in progress recording (it only ever returns the duration when the file was first opened) showing 'Recording in Progress' when we watch an in progress recording in the Live TV window (e.g. When the app is open and the tuner is stolen for a recording)
Added new option in the TV Guide for ATSC/QAM boards, to not perform the full EPG collection when the PC is first started (if the last event was missed because it was shut down). The default is off, but the user can choose to enable this. This will resolve issues were the app is started and 'No TV Tuner Available' would be shown.
Added a check when starting WinTV v10 if the overnight EPG collection is in progress and gives the user the option to cancel it and start Live TV. N.B. If this isn't run, things like season recordings won't get created.
When changing the audio PID while paused, making the graph play as the PID cannot be checked while paused.
Fixed issue where volume slider would go off the edge at maximum volume
Fixed issue where pause buffer slider would go off the edge when it reached the end
Timers are correctly are correctly right and left alligned
LiveTV text on timeline is now translateable
Showing status if TV tuner is being used in WinTV Extend or in another TV Window
Position and Duration text only showing the hour digit if the recording or position is long enough.

WinTV v10.0.38163

Fixed an issue checking for duplicate channels that would stop a channels being added and mapped for a second tuner.
Added option DisableTeletext in Settings.xml to remove the Teletext filter (for debugging)
Added option DisableCCTest in Settings.xml to remove CC filter when playing back a recording (for debugging)
Fixed an issue that playback of recordings wouldn't stop at the end of the file
Fixed an issue when the tuner was 'grabbed' for a recording, LiveTV wouldn't start again after the recording because of the playback of the recording never finished.
Showing a warning when starting the app and the overnight EPG Update is in progress
Showing a warning if try to tune to a channel and the connected tuner hasn't performed an autoscan yet. Will show your the name and the Serial of the tuner that needs setting up.
Attempting to automatically retry the last channel tuned to if the currently connected tuner cannot recieve that channel.
Logging the status of all connected tuners when logging "No Tuner Available" to help debugging.
Showing 'Capture Recording Quality' instead of 'Analog Recording Quality' on HD PVR style boards under Settings.
Updated HCWTSReader to fix chosen language preference not being used if audio tracks were of different audio standards (e.g. mpeg1 vs aac). As reported in Australia

WinTV v10.0.38148

During a channel scan existing duplicate channels are filtered out from the result list (Same ONID/TSID/SID AND Frequency/Channel Number). So if a channel moves frequency it will be found still during the autoscan. This will help also if say the channels from just one frequency were missed during the first scan, it will allow the user to see that the missing channels were actually found this time, rather than being somewhere in a mixed in a long channel list. Also if just one single channel from a mux is missing or say gets added, the one channel will be added without removing all the channels from that mux to add it. This also protects scheduled recordings from being removed.
Scanning change was applied to: DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC, ClearQAM and DCR devices.
ATSC scan now gives a running total of channels found (previously only ClearQAM or DVB gave this)
Removed duplicate extra lines in the logging of ServiceInformation in the log.txt
Fixed issue where stale channel information from a previous tune can cause the next set of channels to be missed. This was already fixed for DVB-T, not implemented on all source types.
Fixed issue that only one scheduled recording could take place on WinTV-DCR-2650 and WinTV-DCR-3250 (Now 2 and 3 tuners respectively)
Added warning about the Windows 10 Camera Privacy issue if the Capture filter can't be found (previously just the installer would warn about this, but products without Hauppauge EEPROM could miss this check)
Hiding the Export to MP4 if an Analog product is connected, not just if false was set by the installer. If you didn't install with the USB Live 2 it could lead to this button being shown when you plugged one in.
Error message box made taller to fit Camera Privacy message on

WinTV v10.0.38099

Fixed an issue with a recent fix during a DVB-T/T2 scan where correct channels could be ignored during a scan, due to receiving channel information from the last tuned channel (which registed the frequency as duplicate). This fixed worked if the channels were consecutive, but not if a blank channel was tuned in between. This was seen in Sweden/Denmark
Fixed an issue where "ScanWaitLCNExtra" 0 "/ScanWaitLCNExtra" wasn't being set in Germany, it was being seeded before the config.xml had been created.

WinTV v10.0.38093

Adds model numbers below 20000 to allow install (e.g. HVR-3000 is model 14xxx or HVR-930C is model 16xxx)
Added HCWD9BDA driver 1.36.36149 for 32-bit Windows 10 and 32/64-bit earlier versions of windows (only Windows 10 64-bit had this driver added previously)
Added a second auto retry of scheduled recording if the first one failed because the file was emptye
Not logging aspect ratio every time, only if it's changed.
Cleaned up some noisy unneeded logging around OSD
Warning user if they enter full screen mode when in Four Tuner PIP and recording, that they will not be able to go back to Four Tuner PIP mode without stopping the recording. There was a warning if you did this and were recording in a different window, but the current window was ignored.
Removed noisy logging when opening the TV Guide
Fixed an issue on ATSC/QAM boards if only QAM was configured, it could attempt to get EPG listings for just the first Clear QAM frequency due to the way it counted the frequencies if none were in the list
Turning off EPG Update if no valid channels are present in the database. If valid channels are added (and the user hadn't chosen to turn it off themselves) EPG Update will be turned on.

WinTV v10.0.38066

Fixed an issue that could cause the Serial number on a very, very small number of products to return as "2" which could cause issues with re-installation and will report 'Activation Code not valid'
Fixed an issue on WinTV-quadHD USB which could cause serial number to return as "2". Customers who have already installed WinTV v10 have had their Activation Code re-activated, so it will now pair also with the other half of the tuner on re-installation.
Model/Serial detection should be slightly quicker on devices with a "Serial Number" rather than a "MAC"
Fixed support for Model 72261, has external inputs incorrectly showing.
Fixed an issue opening EPG if there were bad entries with no EPG Update end time, left over from older legacy versons of WinTV v8.5

Added support for PCTV 73e, PCTV 282e and 73e SE (Drivers not included - Yet..)
Added support for PCTV 340e/801e
Fixed issue where WinTV Extend server would crash 1 minute after completely streaming a full recording to the end.
Fixed an issue on some ClearQAM channels which wouldn't be found where PMT PID was 0xff which was supposed to be "invalid" but happened to be valid on a particular stream.

WinTV v10.0.38050

HD PVR Pro 60 Firmware Update

Firmware updates can be done to add new features and performance improvements to the HD PVR Pro 60

HD PVR Pro 60 Firmware Version 211

New in this version: fixes snapshot in standalone mode

To install the latest HD PVR Pro 60 firmware:

Download the firmware:
HU677UVC.BRN
Copy HU677UVC.BRN to root of your SD Card (FAT32 or exFAT is supported)
Disconnect the USB Cable from the HD PVR Pro 60. This can be done with the HD PVR Pro 60 connected to a PC or connected stand alone.
While unpowered, plug the SD card with the firmware file into HD PVR Pro 60's SSD slot.
Push and hold the snapshot button (on the front of the HD PVR Pro 60).
While pushing in the snapshot button, connect the USB cable.
The white LEDs will flash for about a minute. You can release the snapshot button while the white lights are flashing.
Once firmware upgrade is complete, the LED's will stop flashing.

You can verify the firmware version in Hauppauge Capture -> Advanced Options -> Firmware

HD PVR Pro 60 Standalone Recording

Notes:
To record one long continuous file on the SD card, format the SD as ExFAT. If you leave the SD card as FAT32, long recordings will be broken into 4GBbyte recordings (about 1 hour each).
To switch back to record on a PC, set the ‘Rec Mode’ switch to ‘PC’.
If your SD card is write protected, you will not be able to record and the light will blink RED twice and then go solid GREEN.

Step 1: connect the HDMI Out from your cable box to the HDMI In on the Pro 60.
Then connect the HDMI Out on the Pro 60 to your TV set or TV monitor.
Make sure you can see your cable TV on your TV set.
Step 2: On the side of the HD PVR Pro60, set the 'REC MODE' switch to ‘SD’.
Step 3: power on the HD PVR Pro 60 by plugging the USB cable into a 5v .9a (or better) USB power supply. An iPad power supply is 5.1v at 2.1a and will work fine. The red light will blink red until the HDMI source is recognized and the SD card is plugged in.
Step 4: Plug in an SD card to the Pro 60. The SD card can be formatted as Fat32 or exFAT. Wait until the light becomes solid green. This means the video source and SD card are recognized by the HD PVR Pro 60.
Step 5: When you want to record, hit the Record button on top of the Pro 60 to start recording. The LED light on top will blink green. Hit the record button to stop recording. It might take a second or so for the light to go solid green. At this point, you can either remove the SD card or make another recording.

Troubleshooting stand alone mode:

Problem: No mic audio in standalone mode:
Solution: connect the HD PVR Pro 60 to a Windows PC. Run Hauppauge Capture. In the Capture tab, in the volume mixer, mute the Microphone. Then un mute the microphone. Adjust the microphone audio to the middle. Then close Hauppauge Capture. Re connect the HD PVR Pro 60 standalone and test with the microphone again.
Problem: Light is green but when I hit the Record button, the light stays green and no recording happens
Solution: On the 'REC MODE' switch, set to PC and then set to SD. Sometimes the slide switch does not fully go to the SD position.
Problem: Light is blinking red even though I have put an exFAT formatted SD card in
Solution: Remove the SD card, then replace it. Sometimes the SD card is not correctly positioned in its slot, and the HD PVR Pro 60 will not 'see' it.
Solution: If after removing and replacing the SD card, the light still blinks red, you might have to reformat your SD card. The blinking light means that either the SD card is either not completely positioned in its slot, or its not correctly formatted.
Problem: Light blinks red 5 times and then turns to green
Solution: this means your HDMI video source is copy protected with HDCP. The HD PVR Pro 60 cannot record copy protected HDMI without the copy protection being removed.
Problem: No audio in your recordings
Solution: the HD PVR Pro 60 can only accept stereo audio. If your video source (game console, cable box, etc.) is sending 5.1 channel audio, you will get NO audio in your recordings.
Normally a video source will 'handshake' with the HD PVR Pro 60 and determine an audio format which both devices can support. But sometimes a video source has a fixed audio format to 5.1 channel audio in which case the HD PVR Pro 60 will not record audio. To fix this, you need to set your video source audio format to 'Automatic' or to manually set the audio format to stereo audio.

When using the HD PVR Pro 60, are you not getting game audio in your PS4 recordings?

The PS4 turns off HDMI audio when a headset is plugged into the PS4 controller. HDMI audio contains game audio and your friends chat (multi-player chat). When you plug in your headset into the PS4 controller, the PS4 shuts off HDMI audio and you will get game video but no game audio.

The PS4 turns off HDMI audio when a headset is plugged into the controller. So, to get PS4 audio in your recordings when using the HD PVR Pro 60, do this:

HDMI audio from the PS4 includes both game audio and multiplayer chat. When you plug in your headset into the PS4 controller, the PS4 shuts off HDMI audio and you will get game video but no game audio in your recordings.

To fix this problem:

Step 1: the HD PVR Pro 60 has a built-in audio mixer for the PS4 headset and controller. To get audio in your recordings, on the front of the HD PVR Pro 60 plug your PS4 controller into the 'Controller in' port and your wired headset into the 'Headset in' port.

Step 2: set the 'Audio In' in Hauppauge Capture to 'Controller In' and you will get PS4 game and multi-player audio in your recordings with the HD PVR Pro 60.

HD PVR Pro 60 Frequently Asked Questions

What format does my SD card need to be for standalone mode?

Format your SD card in either FAT32 or exFAT.
exFAT formatted SD cards can record a file as large as your SD card, while FAT32 will create a series of 4 GB files. Example: if you insert an exFAT formatted 128Gb SD card, you can record one file up to around 16 hours. If you insert a FAT32 formatted 128 GB SD card, a 16 hour recording will appear as thirty-two 4 GB files.

Note: remember to put the 'REC MODE' switch into the 'SD' position to record to the SD card. If it is in the 'PC' position, recording to the SD card is disabled.

I want to plug my headset into the HD PVR Pro 60, but not connect a controller. What will I hear in my headset?

You will hear HDMI audio (audio from whatever is plugged into the 'HDMI In' port).

On the front of the HD PVR Pro 60, there are two input ports: a Controller port and a Headset port. When you have your headset plugged into the Headset port, HDMI audio is routed to three places: over the USB bus into your PC, out the HDMI Out port to your monitor and also to the Headset port. You will hear your HDMI game audio in your headset.

I'd like to use an external microphone instead of my video camera's built-in mic when streaming with the HD PVR Pro 60.

You can plug in a microphone using the 4-pin Headset port jack on the front of the HD PVR Pro 60. When you do this, the internal audio mixer inside the HD PVR Pro 60 will mix HDMI audio with your microphone audio, and you can use the audio mixer in Hauppauge Capture to adjust the relative volume of the HDMI and microphone audio.

If you have a 4-pin headset with microphone, simply plug this into the Headset port on front of the HD PVR Pro 60.

If you have a microphone with a two or three pin jack, you need to plug a 4-pin to 2-pin audio adapter ( the pink/green audio adapter ) into the Headset port jack on the front of the HD PVR Pro 60, and then plug your microphone into the pink connector.

If you are conferencing with Zoom or Skype and want to turn off the HDMI audio (which normally comes from your camera's built-in microphone), do this:

In Hauppauge Capture, turn the Game slider all the way to the left. This turns off audio coming from the HDMI In connector on the Pro 60.
Set Mic: to HD PVR Pro 60 Microphone
Plug your microphone into the 4-pin headset in port on the front of the HD PVR Pro 60
Adjust the microphone volume using the Mic: slider in Hauppauge Capture. You should test the microphone audio to make sure the volume level is correct before you 'go live'.

What do the lights on the HD PVR Pro 60 mean when it is in stand alone mode?

White: the Pro 60 is booting up
Blinking red: can't read SD card (or there is something wrong with the SD card format)
Solid red: no video or video out of range
Solid GREEN: ready to start recording
Blinking GREEN: recording
Two red blinks, then GREEN: your SD card is write protected and recording cannot start. To record, turn off the copy protection button on your SD card.
Five red blinks, then GREEN: your HDMI video source is copy protected with HDCP.
Solid GREEN after the record button is hit: the Rec Mode switch is in the wrong position (set to PC instead of SD)
Solid blue: internal error

What do the switches on the side of the HD PVR Pro 60 do?

On the side of the HD PVR Pro 60, there are two switches: 'REC MODE' and 'iOS REC'. The 'REC MODE' switch is used to select the mode of operation: PC connected mode (the 'PC' setting) and standalone mode (the 'CARD' setting).

The 'iOS REC' mode switch is used to control HDMI recording and passthrough. This switch is normally left in the 'ON' position. In this mode, HDMI video is passed through the HD PVR Pro 60 to the 'HDMI Out' port and HDCP copy protection is used to determine if video can or cannot be recorded. In the 'OFF' mode, HDMI video is passed through the HD PVR Pro 60 but video cannot be recorded.

Note: we recommend always leaving the iOS Rec switch in the 'ON' position.

Is there any limit to file size or time length when recording standalone to an SD card?

If you want to record one long file on the SD card, make sure you format the SD card using ExFat. If you use Fat32, the recorder will create a new recording when it hits the max file size limit of Fat32, which is 4Gbytes. The good news is that these 4GB files can be 'stitched' together in a video editor. But to avoid this, simply reformat the SD card using ExFAT.

How can I watch my recordings on my TV set?

All recordings made by the HD PVR 2, Colossus 2, HD PVR Rocket and HD PVR Pro 60 can be played back onto a TV set using any of the following methods:

Connect your PC to the TV set via HDMI: Run an HDMI cable from your PC and plug it into your TV set. Use Hauppauge Capture, Windows Media Player or other player like VLC to play your videos to your PC screen. You should see your recording also being played back to your TV set.
Use a media player like the Amazon FireTV box: The Amazon FireTV box has a USB port on the back where you can play any of the HD PVR recordings. Copy your recordings to a USB thumb drive, plug it into the FireTV box USB port and then you can use 'VLC' media player (available on the Amazon store as an app) to play your recordings.
Copy your HD PVR recordings onto a USB thumb drive, and then plug the thumb drive into the TV set and play your videos: If you make a recording using any HD PVR and copy that recording to a USB thumb drive, many new Samsung and LG TV sets have a USB port on the back where you can plug the thumb drive with your recordings. As soon as you plug in the thumb drive, the Samsung TV set will recognize the thumb drive and allow you to play recordings back to your TV screen.

If you have any questions on these connections, please email us at techsupport@hauppauge.com and we'll try to help you.

When I plug my game controller into the Controller port on the HD PVR Pro 60, what happens to the audio?

As soon as you plug anything into the Controller port, HDMI In audio is disabled (HDMI passthrough is continued to be passed through to the HDMI Out port) and audio to both your headset and to the USB bus now comes from the Controller port.

I am not getting any audio in my HD PVR Pro 60 recordings

The HD PVR Pro 60 can only accept stereo audio. If your video source (game console, cable box, etc.) is sending 5.1 channel audio, you will get NO audio in your recordings.
Normally a video source will 'handshake' with the HD PVR Pro 60 and determine an audio format which both devices can support. But sometimes a video source has a fixed audio format to 5.1 channel audio in which case the HD PVR Pro 60 will not record audio. To fix this, you need to set your video source audio format to 'Automatic' or to manually set the audio format to stereo audio.

I am using an Xbox One X. When I connect my controller to the Controller In port on the HD PVR Pro 60, the game audio volume is too low. How can I fix this?

Xbox One game audio volume too low? Here's how to fix it!

Click to enlarge

On your Xbox One X with your headset connected to your Xbox controller, hit the Xbox button to go to Home.

Then go down to Settings.

Use the Left stick on your controller to go right.

Go down to Audio.

Use the A button to select Audio.

Go to Headset Volume. Increase to 100% (or less as you like). Then use the B button to go back to the main menu.

If, after making this adjustment on your Xbox One X, the headset volume is too high, you can adjust it down in Hauppauge Capture by using the Headset slider on the left side of Hauppauge Capture.

I am getting low game audio volume in my Xbox One X recordings, but my microphone audio is good. How can I fix this?

The Xbox One and Xbox One X controllers can be configured to lower the game audio volume in the Xbox One Chat mixer. We find that sometimes this knocks down the game volume too much. To fix this, on your Xbox One go to:
Settings -> Display and Sound -> Volume -> Chat Mixer
and set this to Do nothing

I'm trying to record from a Nintendo Switch, but I'm getting a 'No HDMI signal detected' message. How can I fix this?

The basic problem is that the Switches HDMI resolution is not what the HD PVR needs to sync up.

Do this:
