I am running Vista with Creator Basic 9. I have my cable set top box (Scientific-Atlanta 4250HD) connected via firewire to the computer.

In the Media Import section of Creator drop down to select the device to capture from I have 3 options. 1 is the Firewire MPEG2Tuner Subunit Device and the other is the AVC panel device. When I select either of these it says no signal.

Is there a way to get this to work? I have the drivers correctly installed for my set top box and it is listed in the device manager properly.

Thanks!

Is the firewire port on your cable box functional?  Depending on the cable provider you use, some of them have ports on their boxes which they have not activated--sometimes they are for future planned use.  The cable company may have ordered their boxes from SA but specified that firewire port not be functional initially. This could be why yours is not working.  Check it out with your cable company.

Nothing in the spec sheet indicates this signal can be used as such…

Does the Operator Manual indicate otherwise?
