(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); THIS REALLY PISSING ME OFF, PLEASE HELP.



Well, this is starting to get me really ticked off. I just bought my HD PVR for 200$, and the AV Componet cables. I hooked it all up, with the "out" cables hooking up to my T.V. (componet 1) and my "in" PS3 AV Cables going into my ps3.

I plug it in, and my T.V. auto goes into YPbPr1 (I think that is what it is called), but the screen is Pink.

My T.V is 1080i (maxed, it doesnt include 1080p) HD. WHich should be compatible with the HD PVR.

I checked on my laptop, and there is video and sound, but on my T.V. I can hear sound, but a pure GREEN NOW screen.


If you can successfully help me record, without the pink screen, step by step, I will give you 9$.

My T.V is 480i HD. WHich should be compatible with the HD PVR.

If you can successfully help me record, without the pink screen I will give you 5$.

Is your hd pvr brand new? Or is it pre-owned because either way go get your money back and get a new one it might be the hd pvr or maybe the cables and if that doesn't work then idk bro sorry.

does the pvr have an HDMI port, if it does hook up an HDMI cable to your tv and ps3 if you can. if that doesnt work then you should call happauge or the company you bought it from. hope i helped Smile

Try this, it may be the problem Happy. Set your TV back up as normal, with the HD cables or whatever setup you normally had with the playstation. Once you have that done see if the video appears on the screen and if it does then work from there. Connect the AV cables from/to the HD PVR (HD cables STILL plugged in with playstation turned on) and once that is done go to your playstation's display settings and change it to the AV/Component cables setting. When you hit 'Ok' it should bring the video back up with the countdown taking place so just hit 'X' and it should be working fine. Try it because I'd say it's just the setup with the playstation that was acting up and not the HD PVR. If not I just spent 5 minutes typing this up basically bluffing my way as I went along :carling:

You said if the HD PVR has an HDMI port, which they don't (as far as I know) and you said "the settings on the pvr". What I am saying is have both the normal HDMI connection he would be using set up and once that is working as it usually would connect the HD PVR with the AV/Component cables and make the switch from HD to AV in Display Settings on the PlayStation, which is what PVR's record with (again, as far as I know). So no, you didn't.
