Hello forum!
Media portal does not detect my Creatix SAA7134-S card (t can be found). It is detected in my hardware manager.

Anybody has an idea how to run media center correctly?

I solved this problem by myself now, I can now run the MediaPortal on Windows Vista with full support for DVB-S on SAA7134. If there is anybody interested on the way I did it I will post it here.

I installed the latest Snapshot, don't know if this is necessary.
After that I inserted the following block into the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file in the root directory of my MediaPortal installation:

  <capturecard commercialname="Medion SAA7134 DVB-S" capturename="713x BDA Digital Capture" devid="ven_1131&amp;dev_7134&amp;subsys_000516be&amp;rev_01">
    <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 DVBS Network Provider"  checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="tunerdevice"     name="713x BDA DVBS Tuner"              checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="capture"         name="713x BDA Digital 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>

The devid is taken from HardwareManager, commercialname and capturename also have to match the settings of the DVB-T adapter from HardwareManager.

I installed the drivers, which were provided by Microsoft by Windows Update, for my TV card.


That's all, it works fine for me.
