I've searched the forum for an answer, but really, I can't find it. How do you get MediaPortal to find the analog part of this card? I've gotten MP to find the digital tuner, but it's not of much use to me since I've bought it for analog use only for now. The idea was to get a hybrid card so that I can switch to Terristial use when I don't get around 15 or so free channels from my analog cabel. I can't use PCI or PCI-e cards in my computer since it has a low profile casing and doesn't allow for most cards to fit, so I thought USB was the way to go here.

I successfully used this definition for MP to find the digital part of the card:

<capturecard commercialname="Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS" capturename="Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS Digital Capture" devid="vid_0ccd&amp;pid_005e">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS Digital Tuner" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS Digital Capture" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

I've took the time to use Graph edit and sent in my results to the proper person, but waiting for that to "kick in" I just wanted to see if someone has already solved the mystery on their own and care to share?

Pretty please, etc

Hi,

how do I make use of this information? The Analog Device is shown in TV Server, but when I click on the scan Button I get Error: "The Graph Building. Mostly your card is not supported by TvServer."..
