Did you get the answer to this mate? Because i'm in Australia also trying to get the U3 to work under MP.

I have one and it didn't work with TVE2 but with the new TV engine it works perfectly. Much better than my Dvico cards.

If you feel adventurous try the new TV engine. For me it works much better than the older one.

Gidday mate! Thanks for the reply.

I must admit i'm a total newbie to MP. Can you explain to me the relationship between TVE2 and the new TV engine? And how do you install it? Is there a link? The wikipedia article on TVE2 was hopeless.

Many thanks,

Howie

Just went through the video tutes on TVE3.. looks great I'll give it a go and report back here.

cool. It's a longer set up process, but pretty straight forward. You should be fine ;-)

Heya buddy..

well i got TVE3 working on it, and it does scan + pickup 29 odd channels. And I can preview each stream in the TV Server configuration.. but within the client when I hit My TV, it has a problem previewing it, i'm getting no audio/video error messages, also unable to timeshift errors.

Have downloaded the latest SVN and everything. I'm stumped.

have you set the recording paths in the TV server section?
You have to set the recording directory and the timeshift directory.
I forgot the timeshift one the first time and got time shift errors.

Also, take a look in the MP /Logs directory and see if there is any thing revealed there. If you can't understand them then post them here.
You are best off starting MP from scratch, go to MyTV, get the error then stop MP. this way the logs won't be too big and will only have the relevant info.

It does work, so don't lose hope.

PS, also make sure the Compro software isn't running, as it may be locking the card if it is. Turn off AutoStart for it if you haven't already.
