Just a quick note:  Monsoon Multimedia (the developers of the HAVA hardware that Pinnacle uses as its PCTV To Go) have continued to develop software and drivers for the hardware.

They are up to version 1.8 now, and have added some nice features that Pinnacle's older version of the software is lacking, such as pausing remote viewing.

I have done a little experimenting with the HAVA 1.8.0.11 update, and thus far, it seems to "just work" for me on the PCTV To Go HD Wireless hardware that I am currently running.  Now, my hardware is the old-old-old version that has an integrated analog tuner, so newer builds *may* be different, but I don't think so.  In my case, the HAVA updater recognized my PCTV To Go hardware, and willingly updated it to the latest HAVA firmware, and along with the new player, I now have a working (if COMPLETELY unsupportable by either Pinnacle or Monsoon ) device.

Note:  There have been reports that doing this update can adversely affect wireless connectivity.  I exclusively use wired connectivity, so I can't tell you how well that might work out.   What I *can* say is that users who had wireless connectivity problems under 1.7.4 were able to restore wireless connectivity by changing a registry entry and rebooting, but no one has yet completed testing this under 1.8.  So -- if you decide to do it, be *really* careful...

Hello:

Is true the lack of IR Learning under 1.8 version?

Thank you

I don't know -- I don't use IR.

My unit has a built-in tuner, and that is what I use.  So...I would have no knowledge of this -- but I would certainly believe what is posted on the HAVA forums.  If they say it doesn't work, then I would suspect that they are correct.

I just moved and it seems that the analog tuner isn't working right with my new cable, are you having the same problem?  I've tried all of the versions of software and firmwares that I could find to get the tuner to work properly, but the best I have now is with the current firmware but all the channels are jumbled up.  I get all the channels but all the numbers are off.  Any suggestions?

 OW, the 1.8 firmware seems to be great, I upgraded before I moved and it seemed like it was a little snappier than the other versions. 

I don't know -- I still seem to be able to use my built-in NTSC tuner just fine with the 1.8 firmware and HAVA software, no jumbled channels or anything.
