Synopsis::

Media portal can't detect my Compro H900 tv tuner card. I've changed the "CaptureCardDefinitions.xml" cards file to match my device ID. Bust still no luck. If there is any need in further information i will be glad to give it. By the way. Where should i send the russian language file for media portal? As the media portal log files don't contain any info i'm not sending them. I would really apriciate help as i've changed my TV Tuner card just to match Media Portal supported card list. Media portal support tool didn't detect any TV tuner card so here i include the info

TV Tuner: - Compro H900
TV Tuner Driver version: - 1.1.57.8 released 25.10.2006
TV Tuner Device ID - VEN_14F1&DEV_5B7A&SUBSYS_E100185B&REV_00

CaptureCardDefinitions.xml

<capturecard commercialname="VideoMate H900" capturename="VideoMate H900 Video Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_5b7a&amp;subsys_100185b&amp;rev_05">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="true" sw="false" bda="false"/>
