Adaptec AVC-3610 and DVICO FusionHDTV Lite - not working

My AVC-3610 will not add channels in TVServer. It gets to Channel 2 and then nothing happens, but the lights on the device flash as if it's still doing something (it's a USB tuner). It works just fine using mediaportal client without TVServer. I've also tried manually adding channels and previewing and I get an eternal hour glass.

The FusionHDTV Lite I have also has issues adding channels (can't find any). I've got Comcast cable which uses QAM256, but I'm not sure which setting to pick (HRC+3, HRC, IRC, etc.). So I'm not sure if this part is my fault or not. I couldn't find anywhere to add QAM channels in MediaPortal w/o TVServer, but the bundled FusionHDTV software is able to tune channels just fine.

Any direction would be very appreciated!

Thanks

elph,

The DVICO FusionHDTV card doesn't work with QAM in TVServer.
They have a proprietary tuning method they haven't shared with us so I can't help you out there.
I suggest a Hauppauge HVR-1600 or 1800

As for the Adaptec device this should work.
Can you retry with SVN and then post you TV.Log after a full scan?

Bummer about the FusionHDTV. With regard to the AVC-3610, the posted tv.log is what I get when I try to do a scan. I let it sit scanning channels for about 8 hours, and that's what the log looked like. If you need more information, please let me know.
