Hi, i've this one Pcie card and had been auto-recognized in TvServer 1.01 One-seat installation
Proof of concept ..

I've generate a Graphedit one few days ago - BUT, just check it for posting and find it generate an error in graphedit .. (i did some tests..) ... I'm going to generate a new one and post it asap..

the procedure i've done :
Add_TVCard_to_natively_supported_list - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

2 Open GraphEdit. Then click menu Graph / Insert Filters /
open the line "BDA Network Providers"
->Select "Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" / Click <Insert Filter>.

3/4 Find the BDA Receiver section. You should see a Capture Filter which relates to your DVB card
= Filtres Source Bda - Winfast PxDvr3200h Bda Tuner
@devicenp:\\?\pci#ven_14f1&dev_8852&subsys_6681107d&rev_02#4&36043b78&0&00e1#{fd0a5af4-b41d-11d2-9c95-00c04f7971e0}\{5ea9c066-1dfe-41c5-a2de-bf766e83c98e}
->4 = ven_14f1&dev_8852&subsys_6681107d&rev_02
ven_14f1&amp;dev_8852&amp;subsys_6681107d&amp;rev_02

5 From "BDA Source Filters", <insert filter> Tuner filters. From "BDA Receiver component", <insert filter> BDA Capture. Take note of what the filters are called.
5a "BDA Source Filters", <insert filter> Tuner filters.
->Insert "Filtre Source Bda - Winfast PxDvr3200h Bda Tuner"
5b From "BDA Receiver component", <insert filter> BDA Capture.
->Insert "Composant Récepteur BDA - Winfast PxDvr3200h Bda Capture"

6 Once done we need to connect the pins together. Click on the output pin and drag a connection to the input pin of the filter like so... connect the Network Provider to the Tuner and then the Tuner to the Capture filter. Again it should now look something like this:


Some infos ..
A) french label appear in place of english one in Graphedit/insert
B) I didn't finish the graph for the Analogic Tuner that is able to receive Video and FM Radio
C1) Issues for FM - didn't find a correct hardware config (output sound to imput on AudioCard on motherboard)
C2) I get many glitches and noisy sound - plus the fact i've a very poor recepetion level
D) Digital Radio DVB-T is not presently active in France

***** Found the File for the Analog part of card - attached here ...
will be useful to configure raphedit if necessary

Hello,

So, this card is auto-recognized with TVserver, in fact there is nothing to do with graphedit ?
Is this card works fine (quality of image...) ?

yes/oui - don't need graphedit
I had this card from 1y ago

Quality render & record looks good - difficult to appreciate as i can't compare with Freemultiposte or Tv device - need to adjust priority for recording process to avoid audio glitches and loss of sync frame - i always use videoredo to fix/cut before megui compression
HD quality is quite fine, better than with the embedded winfast software of the card
Use 4TR (for the record) to schedule and also to watch tv with the live option
I choosed to use the arcsoft audio/video driver installed with the card in the tv settings (coreavc for 264)

Card's analog part works but i can't get an acceptable radio channel quality level - low level signal (don't know if it comes from antenna) and some audio issue with my motherboard card (card audio output mus be connected to inline (cd or aux) on the audio card or motherboard)
Rnt digital radio comes on the 2009 end and i use the free-multiposte one radio

the card is cheap and pcie-*1, some card are pcie-4 or more, so with a larger bandwidth
I think that the choice of the card must depend of the architecture of the motherboard
Some pcie slot (*16) are managed by the Chipset (ex P35 northbridge or others) and the bandwith is not shared and direct to the processor and memory - Graphic card are installed ont them because requiring a large bandwidth and direct access
some pcie most of *1 are managed by a a southbridge (Ich9, 10) or an added chipset and the pcie slot share the bandwith to access to processor and memory with other device like network card, sata drive, or other pcie card

So as Tv card require a large bandwith and because of the recording process using memory and disk access, could be have some bottleneck - and other process could also use the shared access like network with disk access

i hope to have to be clear enough on this last chapter ..

Thanks for all information !
I will use it in "input source mode" with my STB.

I have chosen this card because I'm making a new HTPC with mini-itx motherboard, and the MB accept only one pci*1 slot.
