The latest SVN didn't fix this problem...

dman,

I have the same card and am able to build and debug MP. I live in the US with over the Air ATSC so is there anything that I can do to help you figure out why this card will not tune? The scan appears to find the channels now. The signal meter only appears to show signal for the what ever channel the card was tuned to prior to starting the MP configuration program. Maybe a tuning set up step is missing.

I have been using C# and .Net since Beta 1. I have not used DirectX for Video programming and don't have any good documentation for the dvblib.dll used for the Air2PC card.

FYI: just having this card installed in your PC causes the MP wizard to lockup (started from within MP itself). I also have a working BDA ATSC card installed and if leave the Air2PC card listed in the MP configured list of cards, no matter what setting I select (don't use Air2PC for LiveTV or recording) I can't watch any TV using my working card. The priorities don't appear to function either. If I delete both cards and just add back the BDA tuner then the BDA tuner card works fine.

Thanks for helping out this this issue

Please post a log after re-tuning so I can see what happens.
Try tomorrow's SVN release also.

WhatHappend,

It's all yours I don't have the card or live in the US so it's very difficult.

The SDK is here...

A tips that works for other Technisat xxxStar cards with MP:

Server4pc would be running.

I got this working with the BDA driver (contact the company that makes it and they will send it to you maybe)

  <capturecard commercialname="TechniSat DVB-PC TV Star PCI (BDA)" capturename="TechniSat BDA Digital Capture" devid="ven_13d0&amp;dev_2103&amp;subsys_210313d0&amp;rev_02">

The BDA driver for this card can be purchased from the current manufacturer of this card. They are not the original manufacturer, and are trying to recover the cost of developing the driver by charging for it.

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISA...echnologies&include=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25

The price is $14.95

I am not afilliated with this company in any way. I would just like for people to be able to use this card with Media Portal.

I got it for free for buying the card; but its a pretty fair price if you ask me.

Same here. But, a few people have PM'd asking me for the drivers.
