    Many posts are answered immediately, but that does not happen with every post. Try to be patient. It may take a few days for the right person to see the post.

    I don't have an Elgato Game Capture HD60. I do have the same ViewHD VHD-1X2MN3D splitter. It worked for me.

    You have to do some testing to find out where the problem is.

    Even though the capture software doesn't detect a signal with your equipment set up exactly as shown in the video, does the TV still display a picture and produce sound?

    If you replace the satellite receiver with a different device (DVD player, Blu-Ray player, game console, HD camera) keeping the rest of your set up the same, does the capture software detect a signal?

    ...but if you connect the receiver directly to the TV using the same cable, you can see a picture and hear audio?

    The HDMI cable connecting the satellite receiver to the splitter needed to be tested to determine if the HDMI cable could be the problem. It still might be. I had one HDMI cable with a connector that apparently didn't mate perfectly with the HDMI port on my PC. Once in a while I would turn on the PC and there would be no picture until I re-connected the cable. The same cable is fine with other devices.

    The splitter or its power supply could also be the problem. Have you tried power-cycling the splitter? To do that, disconnect the power supply and the HDMI cables for an hour, then plug everything in again. Did the splitter come with a power supply that is compatible with the electrical outlets normally found in your country? If not, did you replace the power supply with a different one or use a power converter/adapter?

    I did all what you've said with it... now, when i connect the cable from thr receiver to the splitter and from the splitter to the TV it works normally! And when i connect from splitter to the Elgato it shows this



    By the way i tried all the ways you've adviced me before.

    Do both splitter outputs work with the TV, or just one?

    So, if both outputs are connected to the TV at the same time there is no picture from either of them? If you connect just one output (to the TV) there is a picture. Does it matter which output you connect to the TV?

    I'm trying to find out if both outputs of the splitter can produce a signal if the Elgato HD60 is not involved. It is possible that the Elgato HD60 is the problem, not the splitter.

    You could try power cycling the Elgato HD60. To do that disconnect the HDMI cable(s) and the USB cable from the Elgato HD60, then wait for an hour before re-connecting the Elgato HD60. (All of the cables connected to the HD60 can supply power.)

    I don't know how often it will be necessary to do this. I do know that some HD capture devices need to be power cycled every day or every few days.

    It may or may not be necessary to wait an hour.

    I am almost afraid to recommend something. All seem to have flaws and none are fool-proof.

    I don't recall seeing anything other than the Elgato HD60 with a hardware encoder that can capture 1080p50/60 as 1080p50/60.

    The Hauppauge HD-PVR 2 GE Plus is one of the more popular alternatives for use with a computer but does not capture 1080p50/60 as 1080p50/60 but instead as 1080p25/30, discarding half the frames. It does need to be power-cycled, perhaps daily.

    The AVerMedia EzRecorder 130 (ER130) is a stand-alone device (uses an external hard drive to record) that I have recommended to a few people, but it has limitations. It has a good/optimal type bitrate setting (optimal is 20 Mbps) and it captures 1080p50/60 as 1080p25/30 too. The biggest flaw is the video headers report interlaced framerates incorrectly, which confuses some software players and editors. I think there is a fix. I don't know if it needs regular power-cycling or not.

    [Edit] Somebody else recommended this in another thread for recording TV via HDMI: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271434863079?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AME...c=1&rmvSB=true

    Manufacturer product page: http://www.aplusvlink.com/hdtv_recorder_eng.html There are things that I don't like about it. For one thing, it is not easily returned if there is a problem. ...but those things may not be a consideration for you. I think it records only up to 1080i.
