QAM DVICO FusionHDTV5 Lite Support?

Hi,
I couldn't seem to find the answer to this when searching the forums. Does mediaportal support QAM using a DVICO Fusion5 card?

Thanks

If you have one of these cards please try the latest SVN release of TVServer.

I also have this card and am seeking QAM ATSC support. I installed the RC3 build, and updated to the latest snapshot. I'm not sure if that is the TVSERVER snapshot you mention above?

When I go to the config, and scan channels, it only scans 1-69 (I think it should go higher). Signal strength bar is 100% on all, but signal quality is 0%. As far as I can tell, it doesn't pick up any channels.

Is it possible to get QAM channels via Fusion HDTV5 Lite in MP?

No TVServer is a seperate app which replaces the internal TV Engine of MediaPortal and is the future MP engine.

Ah, ok. Well, I went through the lengthy setup process, and here is where I'm at.

When I open the config, I have the following under TV-SERVER:
Media-Center:
Fusion BDA Tuner
Hauppauge Tuner
Fusion Analog ATSC WDM Tuner

(I only have one fusion card, but I suppose it breaks it into analog and bda)

Ok, first of all, as with other apps, the hauppauge card works fine (150mce). I do a channel scan and get 1-98. Which are the analog channels my cable provides.

Both FUSION scans find no channels. For the BDA (digital) tuner entry, I tried every QAM setting, with and without that box ticked that says the card supports QAM. The analog Fusion tuner just doesn't find anything when it scans.

I'd love to get this working. Is there anything I can do to help? Upload any logs or anything. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

I did not install the following because I don't think they apply (let me know if I'm wrong):

Firewire hotfix (if you upgraded to SP2 and use FireWire devices)
BDA hotfix (if you want to use more than one DVB-BDA card with WindowsXP or if the channelscan is crashing.)

Please try the latest TVServer build for me and then post your tv.log after scanning your QAM channels.
You have to use the Fusion BDA Tuner when using ATSC.

Same results. Attaching log.

what SVN build was that?
Your TV Graph is not building... maybe something is using your card already???
