Latest application and driver updates

Note: the operation of WinTV-PVR-250/350 requires two pieces: a WinTV driver and a WinTV application. We recommend you update both the driver and the application at the same time.

WinTV-PVR-250/350 driver update version 2.2 
 To install the driver update: Leave your WinTV-PVR-250/350 installed in your PC. Follow the following steps: 
Download three files to your computer:
HCWCLEAR
PVR INF files: pvr150250350_inf.zip
WinTV-PVR Update: PVR250_22_23070.exe 
Run HCWCLEAR. This will remove the current WinTV-PVR drivers and WinTV applications. 
Unzip the pvr150250350_inf.zip file to a temporary directory. Windows XP normally unzips this file to the PVR150250350_INF directory. 
Then reboot your computer. 
When your system restarts, the "Add New Hardware wizard" will run.
In the Add Hardware Wizard first screen, select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)". Then click "Next".
In the next menu, select "Include this location in the search" and enter the location of your temporary directory where you unzipped the pvr150250350_inf file to install the base driver. Then click "Next".
You might see a Driver Not Signed message. If so, click "Continue anyway".
Click "Finish". 
After Windows has loaded the base driver, run the PVR250_22_23070.exe driver updater. 
This will complete the driver installation for the WinTV-PVR-250/350.

You will also need to install the latest WinTV2000 Application, the latest Hauppauge Video decoders, the latest Hauppauge remote control applicationand the WinTV Scheduler .

In addition, you should use the latest version of the IR Blaster setup which includes the latest set top box tables.
