I decided to upgrade my HTPC last week in preparation for the fall TV season onslaught. Based on good reviews here, I picked up a Hauppauge HVR-2250. In Milton, I'm on the fringe for Buffalo and had hoped newer chipsets might help with reception of some of the weaker channels, WUTV being one of my most difficult channels after the sun goes down.
I was surprised after setting things up that some of the Buffalo channels got significantly *WORSE* with the 2250. Specifically, WGRZ which I get 95% of the time on my HDHomerun, barely comes in on the 2250. Running a scan on the HDHomerun and the 2250 at the same time, it's clear that the HDHomerun brings that particular channel in much better.
So now I'm curious... are other people having troubles with the 2250 and WGRZ, do I maybe have a bad card, or is something else going wrong?
Anyone care to speculate or share your experiences with the 2250 in the GTA?
