Sources of PVA Problems


Typical PVA Opening Challenges

Hauppauge DVB-Software Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open PVA Files" when trying to open your PVA. If so, it typically means that you don't have Hauppauge DVB-Software installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your PVA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PVA, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Incorrect Hauppauge DVB-Software Version

In other instances, your Hauppauge DVB-Software File file version may not be supported by your version of Hauppauge DVB-Software. You will need to download a newer version of Hauppauge DVB-Software if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Hauppauge DVB-Software File file was created by a newer Hauppauge DVB-Software than what you have installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PVA file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening PVA files are due to having the wrong version of Hauppauge DVB-Software installed.
