Does MediaPortal support the Vistaview Saber 2020 tvcard? (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Before I spend 150 euro's on the Vistaview Saber 2020 tvcard, I would like to know if MediaPortal will support it.
I'm not sure, because I searched the forum and did found a topic where they said it works with MediaPortal, but they don't mention it in the official wiki and documentation.

Could someone who has this card please confirm that it works...

Here I read:
"Hardware encoding with ViXS' XCode II video processor with 3D Comb filtering"

And in Wiki for TVE3:
"Tv Cards Supported

In general the tvserver supports
(...)
2. any analog card with h/w encoding onboard"
Ref.: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/TV-Engine_0.3/tvcards

So I guess it would....

Well I bought the card yesterday and it worked in MediaPortal with the default firmware (v1.4) and drivers (from cd). After a update to the latest firmware and drivers it won't be recognized by MP. The reason why I updated, is because with the default firmware and drivers I got an error when I recorded something from live TV. The error caused MP to close down.

The strange thing is, in Windows Media Center the card works perfectly.

I also checked the file CaptureCardDefinitions.xml if the VistaView Saber 2020 is listed. It is, and the vendorID and the deviceID haven't changed, so I don't know why it doesn't work.

Now I'm going to try to get it to work with TV-engine, maybe thats different.

It should work with TVE3 (ref. prior post)

Good luck

Yep, it worked with TV-engine 3.
Thnx Spragleknas!
