Hello,

I'm having some trouble with my tv tuner card. I'm pretty certain its supported because it has a conexant chip but for some reason Media Portal doesn't recognize that there is a TV tuner card present.

If anyone knows anything that could help solve this problem or even knows if this card is compatible please let me know.

Cheers, Dangles

First check on the list of supported cards: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Supported_TVCards


If it's not on there, then follow the instructions on this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/getting_your_h_w_tvcard_supported_you-t1573.html

Thanks for the reply,

I had a read through i couldn't find my card so i went onto the page you linked.

Just one question, what are BDA drivers?

 

[cheezey]

BDA = Broadcast Driver Architecture

It's a standard driver for using Video/Audio/data on the latest MS operating systems (XP and above).

Looking at your card/chipset, there doesn't seem to be any BDA drivers for it and it looks like an old software encoding card (the latest WDM drivers seem to be dated 2002). So you're probably out of luck with the link above.

Have a read of these instead...

or better still, buy a supported analogue hardware encoding card, or DVB-T card.

Thanks again for the help.

That didn't seem to work so it looks like ill be buying a new tuner card.

Do you have any recommendations?

Do you have any recommendations?

Analog or digital? (or both?)
