compro videomate 750 - Page 3

I've always found Compro cards to be pretty good, but then I haven't bought a new one since the two t300s I used to have.
One thing to be aware of is that the Compro drivers have the same issue as the dvico ones, being where sometimes a new driver will change the hardware ID of the card. For MP, which uses the hardware ID's to identify the cards, this is a problem and is why it then becomes necessary to edit the capturecarddefs.xml file to reflect the new ID. this also explains why that works for some people and not others as the alterations posted above may work for you if you have the same driver version, but otherwise you may need to modify this further.

Then again, the card should work well with the TV server since it just uses the windows idnetification of the card to work, so if your card shows up as a stream under cameras, etc, then you should have no problems.
If there are still issues with the TV server, then you'll need to post here and refer to the logs of the TV server to see what went wrong.

I did get the t750 working, it still is. As the digital signal is still low here and will be for years, I have pre-fed the signal through a phillips set-top box which has a signal booster in and a signal quality enhancement. It made a huge difference. Even when the weather is bad we still get all channels.

The T750 is very poorly marketed and is border line false marketing, I recently went back to the shop I bought it from and asked if they had any dual digital signal cards in, again I was shown the T750, I pointed out that although the boc states 'Dual Digital Terrestrial TV' it only has a single analogue and single digital. The shop owner was surprised and agreed it was very misleading.

But anyway, it takes a bit of sorting but with the TV3 engine and latest builds of MP it works fine. I am still fiddling with getting the remote to be properly configuref through HIP though.
