Cannot view FTA channel on Expressvu (BEV)

switzch · 2007-01-29, 04:09

I am new to Mediaportal and am trying to get my DVB-s card working with the FTA channels on bell expressvu. When I scan the sat I get a couple FTA channels (well, mp classifies them as 'scrambled' but I know it is fta channel) - I am trying to tune "EPRS". I can view this channel using mytheatre no problem.

When I tune to this channel in media portal all I get is a blank screen. I am not really sure what the problem is. I figure it is either a graph problem or a problem with my dvb-s card ( vp 1020 - the cheap red card).

I have tried creating a custom graph but i get an error when I try to connect some of the filters as outlined in the wiki. I have told media portal to use the nvidia audio & video decoders in the setup, and I get no errors when I start the tv engine, so I am guessing that this is not the problem.

Has anyone got a vp 1020 card working on expressvu?

Please post all your logs to the MP pastebin. We might be able to see something going on in there.

I am hitting Dish.. which is pretty much the same thing... After you post your logs, I will take a look at them and try to help you out the best I can.
