Won't display HD channels with HDHR3 and win 8

[MarkJohnson]

I have win 8 pro x64 and a HDHomeRun dual tuner ethernet box. (HDHR3-US)

I can set the QuickTV in HDHR setup to use VLC, but it only plays the ota channels. The HD channels have sound, but no video.

Is there a way to get it to work with VLC without buying WMC add-on?

I tried search, but found nothing on hdhr.

Thanks for any help
