Took a while to get MediaPortial to recognise my NOVA-T DVB-T stick, following these instructions I added this to CaptureCardDefinitions.xml:

  <capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner Device" capturename="WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Capture (Dev1 Path0)" devid="vid_2040&amp;pid_7060">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
      <filters>
        <filter cat="networkprovider"	name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider"	        checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="tunerdevice"		  name="WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner (Dev1 Path0) "	  checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="capture"			    name="WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Capture (Dev1 Path0)"	checkdevice="true"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="networkprovider"	sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice"	sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice"      sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"		  sinkpin="0"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

The card is now detected by the setup wizard, but after choosing the location, MediaPortal crashes. The Windows XP error report message contains this information:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : mediaportal.exe P2 : 0.0.0.0 P3 : 458abf6f
P4 : tvcapture P5 : 1.0.2546.32612 P6 : 458abf38 P7 : 197
P8 : bb P9 : system.nullreferenceexception


Any ideas, I'm a bit stuck here...!

I plugged the stick into my laptop and it crashes in exactly the same way.

The Hauppauge software works on both machines too.

This is my error.log

Hi,
You should use the scan option in MP Setup (Configuration) -> Television -> Capture cards & your card + edit.
Theres a known bug when scanning for channels in the wizard inside MP.

I recently installed the latest stable version 0.2.2.0 on a test PC. When I would scan for channels in the MP setup program, it would always crash. But, when I looked in the channel section, all of my channels were listed. It seems to work fine.

inselaffe,

This won't help your problem, but I was trying to help another MP user set up the same card. I came up with the same CaptureCardDefinitions.xml entry that you are using.

If you would be willing to help him out, you both may benefit from it.

Here's the thread:

Many thanks

Hi Sufjan

I needed to update my MCE 2005 with Rollup 2 for windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900325

I then reinstall my WinFast DTV 2000 H (Digital) drivers again.

The above steps appear to have fixed the problem.

Thanks
Lakshman
