Still not working

No... it still doesn't work!
The screen is black!

The funny thing is that the card works fine with the original software from Pinnacle. Argh! :x

    Can you post in Hardware support to get Dman_lfc attention as this is a hardware problem, Pinnacle has so many cards that if this is one of the oddball ones may have to be included/supported as cannot find EXACT match on supported cards.

    Best Wishes

    Thanks

    Thanks for posting the link, but no problem has been solved in that thread either. Seems like Media Portal is ready to be uninstalled from my computer... a pity :(

    it might be your video or audio codec you are using. to change it, go under your CARD settings to change it.

    I'm pretty sure that will fix it because that is what fixed mine.

    Good luck!

    Hi,
    Pelto said:
    seems as it is very related to this topic: Can't switch tv on
    There is no indication in tomarild's mediaportal.log that the same thing is happening to him.

    Since MP requires more resources than the regular PVR application, try lowering the MPEG2 encoder quality and choose a lower resolution to start off with. You'll need to modify the encoder quality from within PVR application. Change the capture resolution via setup -> television -> capture cards -> select your card and click Edit

    Also look at the CPU load while trying to watch TV, so you get an idea if your system is coping or not.

    Kind regards,
    Michel
