pinnacle 3010i or 3010iX supported?

[McSeven]

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2

Hi,

since I didn't find much on this card: Is is possible to somehow with some drivers activate this card's analogue tuners? My dvbt signal does not contain radio and way less channels than my analogue cable connection. So I'd prefer to use the cable over the wireless, unfortunately, MP only reconizes the DVB-T tuner (after I added them to the cardsconfigxml file manually).

Additionally, I don't seem to find any analogue stuff under the BDA-Section in graphedit, maybe someone with this card installed can help (analogue works fine in MCE2005)?

Thanks, Seven

hi lele_co, and anybody else, who owns this card. Pinnacle evidently sold it under several names "PCTV Dual Hybrid Pro PCI", "PCTV 310i", "PCTV 3010i", "PCTV 310iX", "PCTV 3010iX" and so on...

Solution as follows.
1. get graphedit. You _will_ need it.
2. goto cardconfig.xml and copy the 310i (search for it!)
analogue and digital (dvbt) part
3. paste it on the bottom (before closing </tvcards> of course)
4. now launch graphedit
5. analogue part (was structurally ok, but):
look in pasted part and verify with graphedit the names
in the <filters> section (PCTV BDA Tuner and so on). The
casing matters. so be sure to write XBar as XBar and not
XBAR. skip %% entries.

Install an mpeg2 encoder (i.e. WinDVR 3.0 ->google!)

then configure MP and you'll have an new section 3rd away from
bottom: Encoders. open this section and configure the indeo
encoder according to your TV standard. Exit. Again configure.

go ahead. TV-Cards should now be found. I must say quality
is quite poor on both tuners. Unfortunately, I don't have an
external amplifier for the signal and LCD TV-Picture was clear.
Gonna use dvbt again.

6. digital part. all is ok, but have a look at the revision number
at the end of the moniker. it was rev_00 in my case, but
graphedit (insert filters->BDA driver->PCTV DVBT...) revealed
rev_01; and suddenly my card could be found; I had to ex-
change "310i" with "3010iX" also in the string of the card.
but the may depend on your card. Have a look in graphedit,
there you'll find the correct name in one of the BDA sections.

Hope that helps. I can post my config as well tomorrow...

Hi again,

this code works for me.
And don't forget to install an MPEG2 Encoder!

bye,
