This has nothing to do with the excellent software that Mediaportal is - its a rant about the difficulties with Dvico drivers.
I just installed the latest 3.60 drivers and fiddling around a bit could get mediaportal to detect both tuners (its a dual digital - the pci/usb thingy). I could scan channels and get all except channel 7 - I live in Port Douglas. I tried the fusion software and it couldnt find it either. Tried this tried that. Signal is good then signal is bad. Cable guy says my antenna and cabling is fine.
So I give up. Off to install ubuntu with mythtv and try the linux drivers.
Wish me luck. If all fails then Im binning this dvico for a totally different card. Had nothing but a bad run. When it works it works great. Its been the biggest holdup in getting a decent HTPC build going. So dissapointed.
