I have tried countlessly to get this card to work with TVServer 3 and with the fact that this card works natively with both gbpvr and the trial version of beyondtv, i feel that this could be a bug with MediaPortal's TVServer 3.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Install Mediaportal .2.3RC1
2. Install the TVServer and Client Plugin
3. Enter TVServer Setup
4. Go to the analog portion of the ATI Card (I have tried it both with hybrid mode on and off and with several different video decoders too (Cyberlink. MPV and Dscaler)
5. Hit Scan Channels after setting up the country and input as cable.

Expected Result
A channel listing from the scan

Actual Result
A blank list of channels and a log full of errors.
Here is a snippet of the error message from the error.log

6/18/2007 10:32:58 AM 4 Exception   :TvLibrary.TvException: Unable to connect capture-> MPEG2 demultiplexer

   at TvLibrary.Implementations.Hybrid.HybridCard.Tune(Int32 subChannelId, IChannel channel)
   at TvService.TvCard.Tune(User& user, IChannel channel, Int32 idChannel)

According to the tv.log it seems to return an error code 0x80040217 and then Disposes and attempts the next channel and repeats until all 125 channels are attempted.

Attached are hopefully all the logs needed to help solve this problem

Thanks!

I made a graph in Graphedit that works with the MPEG-2 Demultiplexer if this is any help to anybody about this problem.
