Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT still not working

[J-B-N]

Today they turned off my analog tv-broadcasts so now I am in the DVB-T world completly.

In TV-settings I can add the Terratec 2400i tuner 1 and 2 but get the message "Can not create graph".

Is there anything I can do to get the card working with MP?

It's in Mantis & will hopefully be fixed in time for 0.2.0 release.

Whereabouts has Analog TV been turned off completely?

Here in Australia I think it was originally meant to happen this year, but our DTV is pretty crap (each channel transmits four or so streams, but each one is simply the same as the other. They repeat the same thing on four channels). This is because the Government didn't want DTV to compete with Cable TV. As a result, DTV take up has been so slow that the date for Analog turn off is meant to be 2008 but there is talk that this will be extended again for sure.

Sorry for the off topic nature of this, but I'm simply wondering where you live, J-B-N.

My Terratec 2400i card is finally working in MP!

I made my own definitions for the 2400i card and suddenly the 2400i card was working in MP

The message "Can not create graph" does not occur anymore and I can now watch DVB-T channels in MP

I found out that the reason why my "home-made" definitions worked is that in my definitions the devid parameter ends with "&capture".

The definition for Terratec 2400i in my CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file now looks like this (only devid parameters have been changed):

<capturecard commercialname="Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT Tuner 1" capturename="Cinergy 2400i DT Capture 1" devid="ven_18c3&amp;dev_0720&amp;subsys_1167153b&a mp;rev_00&amp;capture">

If this is confirmed to work for others than me :-) then maybe DMAN will add the fix in CVS ?

I live in Sweden a region called Östergötland, and we have three main antennastations, the first turned digital in november and the last two yesterday. In Sweden the entire country will have digital tv only by 1 februari 2008.

I can confirm that I got past the create graph, and that the card tuned. But when I tried to use the card to watch TV I got no signal, so I need the experiment further. But that will have to wait until after work...

Wow! scray stuff - thats very odd indeed.

CVS updated - it will show up in the next build.

Due to bug (?) or deliberate setting in XP (no such problem in MCE) two DVB tuners won't work in XP...

Fix exist: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/vi...vb+fix&start=0

Haven't tried it myself (yet)...

Good luck...

I have still problems running this card whit MP. It dosent even get found by MP.

Plx help me!!

[J-B-N]

We need a bit more information. I am currently running the TV server (TVE3) and everything works very nice (except for the fact the card is sensitive to the antenna). Before I switched to the tv server it worked in the old tv engine.
