Leadtek DVB-t 2000 H Picture Problems

I have a problem with my Leadtek Card (DVB-t 2000 H), when I try to watch Freeview(Digital TV) using the leadtek Card the picture and sound are ok for a while and then the sound becomes very jerky and the picture goes black, I have tried this with a USB Kworld Tuner using the same antenna connection and the picture and sound are perfect.

I have also tried using a Hauppauge WinTV Nova and I get the same problems as the Leadtek card.


The card does the same thing in both Mediaportal and the rubbish software that came with the card.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

After trying the older drivers it still didn't work for me. I will keep messing and post any change here.

I found this post today, going to try and disable these things tonight.

Out of interest, when you run the bundled TV software how much memory does your PC use? My memory useage jumps up to about 700mb ... which I think is kind of strange!

I am using this card - had a lot of problems getting it to work had to alter the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file to corret the capture filter name from this

<capturecard commercialname="Leadtek WinFast DTV2000 H (Digital)" capturename="WinFast DTV2000 H BDA Transport Stream Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8802&amp;subsys_665e107d&amp;rev_05">
<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="WinFast DTV2000 H BDA DVB-T Tuner/Demod (Philips FMD1216ME)" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="WinFast DTV2000 H BDA Transport Stream 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>

To this

<capturecard commercialname="Leadtek WinFast DTV2000 H (Digital)" capturename="WinFast DTV2000 H BDA Transport Stream Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8802&amp;subsys_665e107d&amp;rev_05">

</capturecard>


After that it worked just fine.
Also make sure that you have all the latest XP updates - including all of the optional one's.

Good luck - it works

This didn't work for me. Instead when going back to the setup it says:

"No video capture card(s) were found, you won't be able to configure a capture card"

If trying this method, please be sure to have a backup of CaptureCardDefinitions.xml to roll back to.

Hey great! This worked for me, thanks a lot.

Just a note, be sure to follow all the instructions in the ReadMe.txt of the UnInstall directory to remove previous drivers.

I checked the 'supported hardware' section before running out to purchase two new cards today ... ended up getting the DVT2000H as it was listed. Installed the current release and fired up the config ... no tv card ... if I click ADD it tells me it cant find a card. Been through all the file changing stuff above but still no joy ... TV card works fine in MCE .... any pointers as to why these 'supported' cards are not working on a brand new fresh install of MCE 2005 (fully updated).

Thanks ....
