I also get the same results using the firmware from this driver, which you can download: ftp://ftp.hauppauge.com/Support/PVR150/Beta/060418%20amity2%202.0.43.24108.p rerelease.zip
I'm wondering if it may be linked to the problem discussed here?: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03909.html I'm thinking about applying it, but I'm worried that I'll ruin something else since I don't really understand how it works or how I'd reverse the patch if necessary.
