I just posted this on the Sage forums, but thought I might post it here as well given the assortment of items I am trying to get to work together. 🙂
I have an HD200 hooked to a HP Mediasmart server running Sage. I struggled through an installation of a Homerun and all that is working fine. Wanting to get analog as well but with no internal card option on the HP, I purchased a Hauppage 850 usb tv tuner. The driver install seemed to go fine, but when I try to add the new source into Sage, it claims it is a 950.
Hoping it would still work ok, I continued the source setup, but when I select the input source of tv tuner on the next screen, I get an error message of “playback error in playback. Details: Sage.PlaybackException” This seems to lock up the HD200 forcing a shutdown.
I have done a standalone install of the 850 onto my laptop to confirm no problems with the 850. It works fine. Also done a remove and reinstall of the drivers onto the server with reboots in between all. No change.
Should the usb tuner actually be plugged into the server? or the HD200? or does it matter?
Any suggestions?
