I've been trying for some time to get TVE3 working with my DNTV Live LP card, without much success. I've tracked down that the problem seems to be related to the inability of TVE3 to correctly control the tuner on my card.

If I try to start TVE3 and perform a scan it is unsuccessful, no channels are found (even though the signal strength indicator does increase to 100%, the signal quality indicator is stuck on 0%). This can be seen in attached tv-bad.log.

Now, if I stop the TVServer, start MP with the old TVE2 confguration, successfully tune to a channel, then exit MP, restart TVE3 Server and perform a scan, the scan successfully finds just the PIDs associated with the channel previously tuned by TVE2. Strangely it finds those PIDS on EVERY frequency it scans (which indicates to me that the TVE3 isn't actually causing the tuner to change frequency). Attached is tv-better.log which shows the scan successful when starting TVE3 after tuning with TVE2.

If I was then to install the plugin, remove the card configuration from the original TVE2 config, restart MP I could watch just that one channel successfully through MP, via the TV Server. But I could not change to another channel, and I could not reboot and watch TV through the TV Server without first running TVE2 to tune the channel.

I can't find a way to change the tuner configuration with TVE3 as you could with TVE2, so I'm not entirely sure where to go now.

Any ideas?

Has anyone managed to get this running successfully on a DNTV Live card?

Is the beta TVE3 expected to be able to self configure to operate on different cards, or is there some other work that has to go on for different cards to be added?

What is the preferred card for the TVE3?
