Channel switch problem with WIndows 7 and hauppaugge hvr-4000.

I have an hvr-4000 pci card in Windows 7 32 bits Home Premium and using DVBViewer. Drivers for hauuppauge card are 88x_2_126_28225_WHQL and wintv7_cd_2.3b.

I can see DVB-T channels ok but if i select a DVb-SAT channel i have "No DVB device available" message.

If I go into DBViewer-Options-Hardware and i pick Find devices - Ok, then I can see DVB-SAT channels, but now if i select a DVB-T channel i have "No DVB device available" messagge.

So it seems like it uses DVB-T and DVB-SAT as an unique device and if it is used as DVB-T i cannot use it as DVB-SAT or viceversa.

When I pick Detect devices, it stars frow new (although both, DVB-T and DVB-SAT and in black, not in red), but it is no useful if i have to do it (Options-Hardware-Find devices-Ok) every time i want to change from DVB-T to DVB-SAT or viceversa.

 

If i select View-->Close Graph just before and after i change from a DVB-T channel to a DVB-SAT channel, or viceversa, it works well. So if DVBViewer is in Standby (messagge in bottom left corner), it changes fine between DVB-T and DVB-SAT, but if it is displaying an image it does not work and shows DVB device not availbale message..

 

The same hauppaugge card and DVBViewer configuration in another PC with Windows Xp works well; in the same PC with Windows 7 Windows Media Center and With Win-TV 7 works well. So it seems to be a problem of DVBViewer with WIndows 7 and hauppaugge hvr-4000.

 

Is it a known problem? Is there anyway (new driver, patch, ...) to solve it?

If there is no another solution, is it possible to automatize a Close Graph every time i switch between DVB-T and DVB-SAT channel?

 

Thank you.

I have set up 2 instances of DVBViewer one for Satellite and one for Terestial. So I can have them both up and viewing 2 channels.
