I have a Pinnacle PCTV 250i DVB-T tuner but Media Portal doesn't detect it.

The PCI card works fine with it's own software and it is MCE compatible. Does anybody know how I can get MP to detect it?

I had sometime to sit down and look into this problem and have got my tv card to work.

If anyone else has this card and wants it to work with the fantastic Media Portal here is the code you need to put into the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file:

Code:
<capturecard commercialname="Pinnacle PCTV 250i DVB-T" capturename="Pinnacle RoyalTS Capture" devid="ven_11bd&amp;dev_0040&amp;subsys_004711bd&amp;rev_00">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="true" sw="false" bda="true"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
      <filters>
        <filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider"    checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="tunerdevice"     name="Pinnacle RoyalTS Tuner"        checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="capture"         name="Pinnacle RoyalTS Capture"        checkdevice="false"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
		<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice"	sinkpin="0"/>
		<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice"     sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"		sinkpin="0"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
