hi there.

I searched everywhwere, but I didn't come far.
in the latest supported tv-cards list, there's my device listed. surely as being supported.
but after installing mediaportal, running the TV-Wizard comes up with the message "No Cards Found", no matter what codec or other settings I chose in the screen before the setup tries to list available devices.
nothing is shown, and I can't chose anything.

Please help. how do you get this thingie running? as I noticed in the supported devices wiki, there are more people with the same problem (see the two comments on that page)

Thanks in advance,
jannes

There are thw other two comments of people with the same problem: Mediaportal is not identifieing the device!

I attached a picture of the stick, just in case someone wonders.

Hi core,
first of all I don't have this card.
There are several reasons, why MP didn't recognize your card:
- There exists several driver types for your card. MP needs the BDA drivers, no WDM drivers.
- MP needs for every card a special definition and when Grandtec has changed the name of the driver components or the device id, the definition doesn't work anymore.

Now you have the following possible solutions:
- You can try to add the card again to MP by following these instructions: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Add_TVCard_to_natively_supported_list
- You can use the new TVServer. The TVServer recognize cards with BDA drivers automatically.
