Leadtek TV2000 RM Gives Errors - Can't do anything

[slmckenzie]

I just downloaded this program, as it was the only one I could find online that had support for software-based TV Tuner cards. As stated, I have a Leadtek TV2000 RM tuner. The tuner works just fine using its own software. However, the reason why I downloaded a Media Center-looking program was so I could have the whole media center "experience". Unfortunately, I can't get my card to work, and it is listed under the supported software-encoding cards list.

The program will not allow me to tune the channels, nor can I really do anything at all with the TV portion of it. I keep getting a "Failed to open TV, unable to create graph" error. I'm not sure if there is a certain type of driver that I am missing that needs to be installed, or what the deal is.

I have included the Support Program information, as well as the log of the program. I really hope I can get this to work! The software's pretty sweet from what I can see! I tried following the sticky and posting my log into mp.pastebin, but that site is not working right and will not accept text input to be shared, so I had to post it all on here. I appologize for the long post because of it!

Is that the right log? It contains nothing useful at all, the mediaportal.log should actually contain error information.

Though the first question is, do you have software mpeg2 encoders installed?
