No Channels scanning Avermedia A825 Dual DVB-T USB (1 Viewer)

Hi, I have just installed Win7 x64 and Mediaportal. I previously had MP setup working under XP.

The problem is that I cannot get any channels to scan on my Dual DVB-T Usb TV card.

I have tested with avermedia application and it can find channels and view them no problem.

What could cause this?

These lines appear in error.log when I try channel scan:
2010-09-01 07:40:18.545910 [(6)]: dvb: Failed to add bda receiver: AF9015 BDA Filter. Is it in use?
2010-09-01 07:40:18.900914 [(6)]: dvb: Failed to add bda receiver: AF9015 BDA Filter. Is it in use?

I have attached tv.log for further info. I have a 2nd TV card installed but I keep that disabled in MP.

I would like to get MP running under Win7 with my A825 but it is useless without any channels being detected!

Strange thing is that when I first installed MP I am sure it scanned channels fine with A825 but would not update EPG. I tried reinstalling and lost channels altogether.

All help appreciated.

Thanks,
Feizex.

I can't get it to work no matter what I try. I have decided to use Windows Media Centre and Remote Potato for the time being. Though that means I can only record one channel from a stream per tuner. It is still better than none.

This could still be an avermedia driver issue, but Avermedia App works fine as does WMC, so I am pegging this as an MP issue for the moment.

Hi,

I rebuilt my PC with Win7 x64 again and tried MP again - this time it worked!

Sorry, not sure what I did different.

I'm having trouble trying to get Web Interface to work, so I have tried MP WebServices Plugin instead. Seems to be OK. =)

I just bouth Avermedia twin star A825 few days ago. Have no luck to make it work with MP too. My system is Win7 32 bit. Does anyone have any clues how to make it work with MP. Otherwise I will neet to swith to MCE

Hi shaouti125

No need to switch to MCE - all AFA9015 based tuners including the A825 should definitely work with TV Server!
Could you please post your TV Server logs so I can see what is going wrong. There are instructions for posting logs -->here<--. Use the third option - "export all currently present logs"...

Best regards,

Hi mm1352000,
Thanks for the help. After I restore my computer to the very early restore point. I can scan channel this time. That's amazing!! I don't know what is the issue but here is the case study for others. My spec
HTPC: ASROCK 100HT
OS: Win7 32 bit
Program installed: PowerDVD11, Totalmedia 3(I use AD300 Tv tuner before), Alcohol 120%, Avast 6

After I upgrade AD300 TV tuner to Twin Star, although the driver upgrade to AFA9015 in MP successfully but no channel can be found in MP. Even I compltely remove MP and re-install still have no luck. At first I though the database is not update but seems it is not the case.

After I decide to re-install OS, I try to restor the computer to the very early restor point. Then MP works like a charm!!
I hope this might help to others.

Cheers
