Help! I need some guidance in setting up Kodi to recognize my cable card tuner so I can receive all of my normal subscription TV channels on my PC. I am using Windows 10 on my Dell PC, have downloaded Kodi 15 and NextPVR. I have the Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650 Dual Tuner Digital CableCard Receiver but have been unable to determine the correct procedure for Kodi to recognize my cablecard. I would truly appreciate it if someone could post a step-by-step guide on how to set this up. I've tried many times, trying to follow the steps for "live tv" setup, but obviously I am doing something wrong or missing some steps since my cablecard tuner is not being recognized. Thank you very much for any guidance you can offer.

Now when i go to Settings-Devices, i can see the Hauppauge 2650. Now what do I do in order for Kodi to recognize it and incorporate all my channels. There are simply no easy to follow instructions for how to proceed with Kodi...
thanks.

hello again sub3,
NextPVR scanned all my channels....took several minutes. then it said "scan finished"....but i see no channels listed. Not sure what to do next. Still doesn't seem to recognize my Hauppauge tuner. And how do I now hook it up to Kodi so it's recognized there as well?
thanks for any further guidance you can offer...

Still need help...I believe much of the discussion on this thread so far is above my head....
My issue is quite simple but extremely frustrating for someone who is not familiar with all of the options and terminology.
I have been using a Hauppauge WinTV 2650 tuner with my Comcast Cablecard for the past several years to get all my channels on my PC. All was working well. Coax directly from the wall into the tuner, then connected directly to my PC with a USB cord. I was using Windows Media Center which immediately recognized all my channels, including premium channels.
The problem started when I switched to Windows 10, which eliminated WMC. Now I need an alternative which will recognize my tuner and the cablecard channels. I have installed Kodi, NextPVR, and the software from HD HomeRun. NextPVR now sees my device as it lists the WinTV 2650 tuner. however, when I double click on it and try to scan channels it says "tuner not available". The tuner is working properly and the coax is plugged in. Can anyone offer guidance that'll help me with setup? thanks!
