I have been unable to get my Pinnacle PCTV Nano USB DVB-T to pick up any channels in TV Server. I get an "unable to create graph" error message (and in logs). I can see the DBA drivers in TV server and can start the channel search. I have applied the dvbfix from the requirements section, as well as all other updates. I have installed the latest drivers for the Nano.

The Pinnacle software pickups the channels without hassle, so its obviously a MP issue. The Winfast 3200H works perfectly.

I have read extensively through the forums for ideas, and have tried a few (reinstalling MP with clean RC2, installing the analogue patch (with pinnacle codecs at priority 1) and changing priority of the card to highest (above Winfast).

Any further ideas, or solutions from people with a Nano, would be really appreciated. If this doesn't work I may look at getting another PCI tuner with hardware acceleration instead.

PS. I am still unable to use the SVHS function of the 3200H yet.. same problem with unable to start graph or "no video or audio detected".

After I installed the latest dvbfix, I now can get the PCTV nano to scan all channels. However, I cannot view the channels in TV Server or Mediaportal as I get a unable to start graph or no video or audio error. I feel as if I have got somewhere, only to get no closer to viewing the channels.
