1216493 2011-07-12 22:23:00 I haven't done this before! :o

Got a Hauppauge HVR2200 (www.hauppauge.co.uk) on the way, running Win7 Pro x64. Was hoping to use Media Centre, and I think there is some third party software available to get the EPG going properly? Has anyone else done this yet and knows of any potential pitfalls, things I should be looking out for, etc? Thanks. :)

Just a random side note, found out today that Hauppauge is pronounced hop-hog. Go figure.

1216494 2011-07-12 23:02:00 Does it come with a TV tuner program? If MCE picks up the channels, it should use the EPG, and let you record the channels. You click on the icon (beside the red / record button, once the channels have been picked up - looks like 3 lines), to bring up the EPG in MCE. If you're using Win7. Does MCE install playready / scan and find the channels?

If you want me to set it up, get teamviewer, and PM the ID and pw to me

I'd stick with Windows Media center, out of the box it's able to do NZ Freeview HD - which your tuners are trying to do.

Do you get the full 7 (or is it 8?) day EPG?
