Default Cannot setup capture card

I have two capture cards installed,
- Adaptec AVC-3610 USB dual tuner card and
- Grabster AV400
When I try to add these at MediaPortal setup, I get a message that: No video capture card(s) were found, you won't be able to configure a capture card. I get the information below in the log file. Please help.

Graphics card not TV card.

or are you thinking the output on it, can be used for input, sorry but not useable.

If looking for a TV tuner, decide Analogue or digital (or both) single or dual tuner, ask around but digitalnow products get a good report.

Cheers

Oh I know it's a graphics card, but it has capture capability. (It has a video in / out interface)

Does that mean I can't use it to capture video using MP?

Not supported, as i said unusable.

Mind you if someone would like to rewrite the Nvidia\ATI drivers with a suitable link from them to MP, could happen.

Any volunteers.
