I have an old WinTV-PVR 250/350 v1.8 CD which will allow the installation of WinTV6 and 7. I would always get the latest drivers from the Hauppauge site rather than use any from a CD.

Let me know that your address is correct on QRZ.com and I'll pop it in the post.

This how I got my Wintv to Install and work

I first started trying to install the drivers from the CD the driver up dates from Hauppauge then the wintv Prog
With some successes but it kept locking up so when to Hauppauge site and tried down loading from there the same
Result. The next step was to try other drivers from other pvr's and found PVR 250 with WINTV6 so down loaded it
And it worked ok.
In all this playing around installing and uninstalling you must do the hcwclear many times
I found to get is to install
On my Toshiba Satellite A100-285 1.8Ghz 1.5MB memory and it works ok at the moment and setup as Digilite Web Site
On all this I kept the CD Rom in the laptop because it needs to see it is a validate CD.

I then installed it on an Old HP Pavilion DV5000 laptop 1.7 GHz with 1MB memory and all ok
Then installed all other software, had a little problem with FT2232H port set up but after uninstalling them from control panel
And reconnect found them ok mine was 4 & 5 and it came together slowly.

In Wintv Menu Channel Manager
Scan Tab Country Broadcast/Cable Format
United Kingdom Antenna PAL_BGHIDK

Sources tab select: Composite Source
Video Format select: PAL_BGHIDK
Channel Name: DATV 23 Cms. This is what I have named mine in Description I called it Video
Save it.
If you have install the driver and Program Wintv mine is Composite(PVR 250)
But I am using Wintv PVR2 USB2 with PVR 250 WinTV 6.
In the next box Name, Preset, Channel Number.
Datv 23Cms 1
Devices Tab box should have + PVR 250 (click on it and in the Model serial Number & Device Details) all the number an info will be displayed.
Channel Tab. Click on All Channels and opposite should read
box with a tick Preset Name Description Channel
Tick Datv 23Cms Video TV
Close it down

Spanner Icon Wintv Settings
On Screen Display Annunciators on Display tick 3 Seconds
Movies Tab DVCR Record File Path
C:\MyVideos\
Pause Mode Record Path
C:\MyVideos\
Pause Buffer Size
1000 MB
Quality Level
MPEG2 2.0MBit/sec
Ten click Advance
Configurations select
MPEG2 2.0MBit/sec
Video Tab Output stream select Program Rate Details (I have selected Variable and Video Resolution 720x576

This is what I had to do to get my Programs to work I am using a Wintv PVR2 USB Mpeg-2.
I also have the Hauppauge Installation and Utilities CD Version 2.2 which enable me to down load Wintv 6 for PVR 250.
This might not work for others but it could get you on your way in getting yours setup.
Good Luck.

Thanks, I'll try that setup procedure on mine.

Yours really is a 250 then?

Did DigiLite Transmit find the recording directory OK on its own?

Brian The PVR is a WinTV PVR 2 USB Mpeg-2 29035 Rev C324 PAL-1
With PVR 250 wintv6 running so it must be the same? could not get WinTV 7 TO WORK
Yes it did find Recording

I think I'm confusing you with G4OHV who has an internal 250.

OK on finding the recording file. That's reassuring.

the card I bought as a PVR-250 is recognised by my PC as a 150 and has a 26xxx serial which is also 150...got it running with GBPVR OK but had to alter the render type, dont think the onboard graphics covered that style of render
