I have a new TV card Lifeview FlyTV Express X1. It should to be supported, butt in my case the card was not detected by the TVEngine 0.2 correctly (TVEngine 0.3 had no problems). In my case just the analog tuners were detected.
After checking the card with Graphedit I've found out that at least for my card the record in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml is not correct. The 7162 BDA Digital Capture0 and 7162 BDA Digital Capture1 capture filters had to be changed to 7162 BDA Digital Capture DVBT0 and 7162 BDA Digital Capture DVBT1. After this change everything is working fine. May be this is just a problem of my version of the card but someone may have the same problem...

ljs, on tv3 you can scan for analog and digital channels?? I can only do it for digital, and on tv2 I can use both.. also... have you the radio and the remote working under mp?

I'm using only Dvb-T now but the analog tuners were visible also with the tv3 as far as I remember. I will try to scan the analog channels today with the tv3 and let you know.
As for the radio, I'm using only the dvb-t and it is working fine. I have a MCE Remote so I never tried the card remote, sorry.

Thanks, maybe I'll get a mce remote too, it will be easier to use than the one that came with the card.

My Hauppauge remote has not seen the light of day (in cupboard) since i had my MCE remote, must admit though had remote before TV card.

Why do so many manufacturers make a totally unuser friendly remote in this day and age, cost cannot be everything, what about feedback.

RANT over now, MCE remote still the most intuitive remote i have found (especially with dodgy eyesight like mine), even in the dark.

hehe, I found the mce remote for only 23€... I'll buy one when I get some money.
