Hauppauge WinTV - Shield doesn't see it

[legobricke01]

I have connected a USB Hauppauge WinTV 1595 to my Shield TV.

It doesn't see it and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have Plex installed with the proper versions and have installed Haystack to get Android Live Channels to appear. But it didn't see it either.

So, with the 1595 attached, neither Plex or Android Live Channels indicates that it's attached. The 1595 is connected to an antenna (I have two and I have checked them both) and the 1595 does show a green led, so I assume it's working.

So, anyone have any idea of what is going on?

Double check that the Plex Server app is up to date. My tuner stopped working after a factory reset and I eventually discovered the Server app had reverted to a pre-USB compatible version.

Yeah, I finally got it to see it...

I had to access it through the desktop.

As I have 2 plex servers, I had to select the server on the shield from my desktop and set up the DVR section of plex. It then found it.... I also downloaded (to my shield) the new Tablo. Is found it as soon as I opened the app and allowed it to scan channels....

I found it to be easier to use than the setup on plex.

When you first connected your 1595 to you shield did it just power on and give you the green light? I bought one and connected out of the box to my shield and nothing, no lights or anything.

I connected it to an antenna and then plugged it into the shield.

I then powered down the shield.

Then started the shield. Then installed Tablo. Then powered the shield down.

Started the shield back up and opened Tablo.

Tablo recognized it and I was set. Android live still doesn't see it, so I use Tablo. Very happy. Get my channels and the ability to DVR shows.

Setting up in Plex is a little different. I had to access the Plex server on the shield from my desktop and in settings, there is a DVR section. Select that and it should see the 1595 and let you set it up.

If you have any issues, let me know.
