Download the file and unzip it to a temporary location. Just make sure you download the HDPVR 1.0.5.301_whql version.
You can find the older drivers versions here. I'm guessing about 90% of the stable systems are using this driver version. However, I would STRONGLY recommend that you start with the older 1.0.5.301 version drivers. Just get everything ready.įor the Hauppage HD-PVR, you can download the newest drivers from the Hauppauge PVR support page. In this step we will download and unzip all the required software and drivers needed for the installtion. Reboot your system before continuing if you used the HCW Clear program. If you have attempted to install the Hauppauge software before and had troubles, then use the Hauppauge HCW Clear software to remove all the Hauppauge software and drivers from your system. Please keep in mind that I have not personally tried installing the HD-PVR on Windows7, so I don't have any experience or advice. Specifically, it seems that you need a Native Recording Patch. ** Note #4 - Windows 7 seems to need a couple more steps to get it to work. The instructions that follow do not specifically touch on this subject but should work as written if you turn the UAC off prior to starting the steps below.
If you want to leave it on, you need research how that will affect your installation (by moving commonly used files to another folder location for example). ** Note #3 - When using Vista or Windows 7, it is probably in your best interest to turn the UAC off (thanks Sportera for this suggestion). Valerio also started a good thread on how he got the system working with the Hauppauge IR remote control. If you want to have the Hauppauge blaster work with the HD-PVR, please make sure you install the other cards prior to installing the HD-PVR. ** Note #2 - Several users (thanks Mikel and Valerio) have noted that if you install more than one Hauppauge card, the Hauppauge IR blaster will assign itself to the last one installed. However, if you did not install the HD-PVR using this method and you are experiencing problems, I would recommend that you try again using these instructions to see if they work for you. It may not fix problems with freezing, overheating, etc or any type of playback issues (playback should be a whole separate thread) that have plagued some installations. ** Note #1 - this set of instructions will get the unit up and running inside Sage. Through my own trial and error and with the suggestions from other users, I've written a set of instructions that seems to work very reliably in getting the HD-PVR (even with the built in blaster) working effectively.
I really struggled getting it all to work in Sage and constantly see others struggling with the same problems on the forum. I have a Hauppauge HD-PVR and use the built in IR blaster to control it via SageTV.
