Hi,

I can't find any TV channels with my FloppyDTV DVB-C in Media Portal TVServer 3.0, but I can see the TV channels in MyTheatre.

How do I add channels in Media Portal? My provider is TDC Kabeltv, Denmark

Do you use the new beta driver for the FloppyDTV DVB-C?

Best regards,
Jesper

I use the FireDtv-C and it works fine,
simple select your country and press channels
If your country/region is not available, create your own .dvbc file with notepad
and place it in the tuningparameters\ folder of the tvserver

Thats exactly what I do. When I scan for channels, the server says "no signal" and no new channels found (see screenshot), but when i open Mytheather I can see the the channels.

Could it be my cabelsignal. Maybe it's not strong enough for Mediaportal Server, but strong enough for MyTheather?

The error log file shows that something goes wrong when initializing the card.
I cannot really explain what happens, so i added some logging and checks
Pls try the upcoming SVN build to see if its fixed
If not, pls post the error.log & tv.log files again

Also make sure that:
- card is removed from MP itself
- card is not locked by any other applications (like mytheathre,sagetv,...)

Hi Frodo,

Now it works like a charm :-)

I removed the two fixes recommended on http://www.digital-everywhere.com/cms/en/index.php (SP Hotfix for DVB + SP2 Hotfix for 1394)

....So don't install these to fixes from Microsoft.


From http://www.digital-everywhere.com/cms/en/index.php:

"Recommended
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We recommend that you install the following patches from MS, when using FireDTV/FloppyDTV with WinXP SP2:
SP2 Hotfix for DVB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896626
SP2 Hotfix for 1394: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885222 "

Hello,

I have axactly the same problem, I use Multikabel in the Netherlands with DVBC FireDTV setup. MyTheatre works like a charm but Media Portal refuses. I'll try to remove the hotfixes and check again.

I'm not using the TV server (yet). I just installed the Media Portal client to do a tryout with the TV.

Frodo, do you have any insights based on the logs above why things break? I will make a logfile before removing the hotfixes and create another one after installing the hotfixes. Maybe that will help in investigating the problem.

I don't mean to "hijack" this thread but I having the same problem with my Nvidia Dual TV card....scan for channels and get nothing. I have created my own post and uploaded my logs yet no one wants to help me....I'm desperate! Please, what can I do to it working?
