[QUOTE="djf280, post: 182735, member: 56762"] . Kworld PlusTV HD PCI 115 card works with TVServer3 (single seat) for Cable QAM, (winxp pro sp2). - [url]http://www.kworld.com.tw/product_overview.aspx?P_id=47[/url] - devid= "ven_1131&dev_7133&subsys_735217de&rev_d1" Standard QAM channel scan in tvengine3 works for this card, & viewing result clear QAM channels in MediaPortal works. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - tvengine3-09-15-2007--01-22h--Rev15898 - MediaPortal-svn--09-15-2007--01-05-Rev15898 (with MediaPortal_0.2.3_RC2 already installed) - Also Had to use new MP tsreader to display the channel video in MediaPortal. add empty text file named "useTsReader.txt", also untic ac3 & the two rebuild graph choices in MyTv Plugin-config in MP-Config/setup, per [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/help_us_testing_new_filter-t24998.html[/url] ) * did minimal testing & not using epg, & scan likely missed some of the clear qam HD channels. (edit the freq list in .qam file as needed) * card has no HW-mpeg encode so, (although server will scan and find analog channels), analog isn't avail via TVServer3 for this card. - analog will work for this card in stand-alone MediaPortal, w/o tvserver mediaportal plugin & tvengine3 installed. * the channel "preview" in TVserver management console doesn't display video, & only audio for clear QAM channels in the preview popup window on my system, but video does display in MP. * finds over 170 channels (comcast), aprox 25 clear qam, & there needs to be a better way to detect & dispose of "scrambled channels", as the "delete scrambled" button does nothing on this install. (maybe a new column for "clear / scrambled"). (at least for us) * HD Cable STB > 1394 > PC > VLC player is still a prefferable way to view Cable Qam, due HD Cable STB can stream All digital/HD basic Tier channels, + extended HD Tier channels, via 1394 to VLC on the PC, both clear QAM & encoded channels. (excluding premimum, pay channels, VOD, occational Fox network feed thats 5C'd). - stb can decode and stream via 1394, encoded channels that arn't also DTCP enabled etc. - mileage with your cable provider's 1394 likely more limited. -dj .
