[QUOTE="AKALuke, post: 57589, member: 21111"] New user. New to both MediaPortal and TV tuner cards. IT literate. I've got a nice shiny new DVICO HDTV DVB-T Dual card and I've downloaded and installed MediaPortal. I'm in a quandary. After several days trying to get the two working together I'm having endless problems and I seem to take one step forward and one step back. I don't think I'm really getting anywhere. The problems I have seem to change as I make changes to try to get it all working. - - Different "create graphs" and "autotune" results depending on which Video Codec I choose - - Sometimes get 'Unable to create graph' on one of the tuners - - Sometimes [b]don't[/b] get 'Unable to create graph' but nothing detected during auto tune - - Sometimes get stuff detected during auto-tune but the TV Channels and TV Card tabs in the MediaPortal Setup seem inconsistant - - Get 'all tuners busy' when trying to record one channel and watch another - - Difficulty understanding the result from autotune - - Difficulty understanding the TV Channels and TV Card tabs in the MediaPortal Setup - - Slow channel changes - - No Signal at times - - Hangs - - Crashes I've found a few mentions of the card in the forums but nothing that says "do this to get it working" or even "I got this working". I'm not sure how much I can expect of the developers and support people. If I do manage to get it all up and going - I'd be happy to give back to the project by writing general documentation or assisting other users with the same card. Should I persevere and start creating posts in the support forum or just give up. So...give up on MediaPortal or persevere? Luke. [/QUOTE]
