possible stupid question .. but have to ask

you have the R2 version i hope ?

Hmm...

I was absolutely sure I did use the R2 version until you asked me now. This is really embarrassing, but i dont have the r2 version, only server 2008.

I will install it as soon as I get it down from msdn and will try again then with my tv-card and tv-server.

:sorry:

Hi,

Did anyone try analog cards (such as WinTV-PVR-150 or HVR-1700) with Windows Server 2008 R2 ?
I've read somewhere that the "BDA patch" for R2 does not support analog cards...
I currently run Server 2008 (x86, non-R2) and would like to move to R2 x64.

Hi,
I had it working on win7, but i wanted more than 20 clients at a time.
I followed this guide to the letter(used the msi)

When i launch the tv-server configuration i get a message saying this is not supported because it lacks critical hotfixes
There is no servers in "TV Servers" and it doesnt find the tv card. It shows up in device manager though.

Any ideas?
Cheers.
Nick

EDIT: Card is a DTV1000s

the message is normal .. it isnt supported.... just ignore it..

when there are no cards found... you probably forgot to run one of the install items (MP, bda.msi or anything else) "as administrator" ?

well i didnt try that... i guess you need to test yourself..
first thing before you try if check if there are windows7 x64 drivers for your card... if there are.. you might have a chance..

bda drivers dont support analoge.. thats true.. you dont need them anyway..

good luck!

First try I installed the drivers for my two Hauppauge HVR-1600s from the Hauppauge website, which put them in the Device Manager. Then I installed MP TV-Server Only and saw only the DVB-IP and RadioWebStream in the list of cards. Neither of my hardware cards showed up.

Uninstalled MP completely. Then ran the .msi alluded to on the first page. Reinstalled MP TV-Server only and now no cards show up at all in the TV-Server configuration.

Then I uninstalled both cards in the Device Manager. Uninstalled MP completely again. Uninstalled the BDA msi completely. Then installed the BDA msi again and restarted. After restart I installed MP once more. Now I see the DVB-IP and RadioWebStream again but still no cards. The device manager shows the two cards as multimedia video controllers needing drivers.

So then I decided to try option 2 and I got here:

[*]Now again a very important part. Press ALT + R and type "%systemroot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository"

And that's where I'm stuck. What does Alt+R do? In notepad it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a chance the command has a different keystroke between Europe and the US?
