Windows 7 Extender No video on live or recorded TV
Hello,
This might be a bit long so I apologize in advance but could really use some help. I have been running my main Windows 7 Media Center mahcine on ESXi for a while now and have gone through 3 hardware configuraiton changes(an old AMD athlon board, then to an Intel i5, and now on new server). I have never run into any issues in the past using this setup but on my new hardware I am having an issue.
Current Setup:
Dell Poweredge 2950 2x Quad Core Xeon 5320
ESXi 5
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
HD HomeRun for TV tuners
I setup the HD Homerun drivers/software without an issue and can verify that the TV functionality does work on the Win7 Virtual Machine by opening the HD Homerun live preview. I then run through the setup for WMC live tv and it does not give me any errors. The issue is when I try to use an extender (Xbox 360, fully updated) to watch live or recorded TV. The extender will open up the TV guide, go to the live tv menu, the popup for the channel, dolby digital logo, etc. will come up but the entire screen is black. It acts like the tv is playing but the screen remains black. I can switch channels and it is the same for every channel. The really odd part is that I can turn closed captioning on and it will show up but still not actual image of the show. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing makes any sense, please help!
I know that the TV does work as I can console into the VM and the TV is viewable there.
