When I run the Portal setup it does not recognize this card. So no card is listed. Therefore My Tv does not work. The ATI tv will work however in another screen. How can I get this card to work? :(

Are you using RC1, or one of the latest CVS's? If not download 0.2.0 RC1, it supports the ATI TV Wonder Pro, which is a software (s/w) encoding card.

I noticed in the latest CVS, the General S/W encoding card is commented out in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file. If you open that file you should see this at the top.

Code:
  <capturecard commercialname="General S/W encoding card" capturename="" devid="S/W"> 
      <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="false" mce="false" sw="true" bda="false"></capabilities> 
  </capturecard>

If it has around those 3 lines, remove them, then open up the MP Setup and you should be able to choose your card.

It does allow me to choose my card now, but it does not retain the settings when I open Media portal and go through the settings. It still says no card found.

    I have the ATI TV wonder and I need to remove the lines to get it to work. I then set up my EPG and grab the channels from that. I then had to move channels 2-9 to the top of the list so all the channels are in order and am able to watch TV. For whatever reason, I am still not able to record and I think I get a couple of lockups here and there... but I do get a picture and I can change the channel. I still don't know if I get sound... I do most of my testing at work... from a remote connection. If I don't... it should be pretty easy to fix....

    I am using 2.0 RC1 with 11-28-05 CVS.

    GOOD LUCK!

    I have tried it both ways, setup & the setup wizard. So, should I tried to deleted these lines instead. ASiDiE, you mentioned you did it this way and it worked. do you have a TV wonder pro? or Elite? I have a pro. Alos how can I get the guide to work? I'm not doing so well trying. I keep getting the error can't find the file. I live in Houston,Tx. Maybe I'm not understanding what i should be doing. Can you guys help.

    I have a ATI TV Wonder PCI... it's probably pretty close to yours... it's a Software card. Make sure all the lines <-- and --> are out at the end. I left one in and it didn't find the card. As for the error... what are you getting and where? I followed the guild to set up the epg guide here.

    Current I am getting this error. "Statsfile not found!" That is it... 50 views... no replys... you can take a look at it here

    I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that. If I manually put the TV only into standby when TV is playing but paused then on wakeup I could not immediately take it out of pause and...

    @CyberSimian As I have just posted in the MP2 subforum I will stay with MP1 for the time being. Many thanks for all your very informative and detailed responses. I will take your advice and monitor the Scheduled recordings list for the discrepancies you have described. Cheers.

    MP1 MP2 HP TV Tuner DE
    You need to setup the TV tuner in "TV Server Configuration". There should be a shortcut on the Windows desktop. The primary action is to "scan for channels", but obviously there are other things to setup too (such as the folder to use for recordings). MediaPortal should be able to use your tuner provided that the tuner has a BDA...

    MP1 MP2 Odd Standby issue DE
    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:
