Have been a user of gbpvr for a while but came across this and said ,why not try something new Install went pretty easy and found the zap2it pluggin that made getting my channels a snap. I do have a problem. I have 2 pvr150 cards in the machine. I can view channels 2 - 13 with no problems. When I go above channel 13, all I get is snow. I ran the win2000 software that comes with the pvr150 cards, and I can view the higher channels. This is a fresh install of xp2 and MediaPortal as of this morning. I am using the default video and audio codec's.

I must say this is very impressive and my hats off to the design team for this.



Thanks in advance for any assistance on this matter.

Hi,

please check if the input source is set correct:
Configure->Television->Capture Cards->Edit (PVR 150)->Autotune->TV Tuner
Set correct Country and Input Source (Cable / Antenna)

HTH,
Flip.

Thanks for the pointers as it did show something interesting.

The PVR150MCE card is the one having the troubles. It was card1 and only see's channels 1 - 13 using a scan. If I remove this card in the setup, and only use the pvr150 card, I can see all my channels. I did change the PVR150MCE to cable with no luck. I do not see a setting on how to make this one card wake up and see all the channels available.

Hi,

did you assign the channels to both cards?
Configure->Television->TV Channels->TV Cards (Map to card)

Flip.

Well that did it. removing it and the adding it back and then the channels cured it. Many thanks

I have a similar issue, but still a little different. If I go into Configuration.exe and go to Configure->Television->Capture Cards->Edit. I can set my source to Cable, do an autoscan and see all channels. They show in the little preview window and all are added. However, when I go into MP to watch TV, I only get up to channel 13!
Any ideas?
