Still no dice.  Same problem.  I've used new drivers for the firmware,
I made sure to put the HcwMakoA.rom in the correct folder.  I've set
the resolution to encode at the proper rates.  What happens is I get
static snow that fades into black every second, and it just repeats
doing that.  However, the pvr-250s still work.  I've also tried
turning off the machine for +2 minutes and no change.  Any ideas?
