Really confused about this one...

I have a Winfast DTV USB Dongle H on Windows 7, fresh install with updates.

Tuning and watching TV works fine with Win7 MC and Winfast's PVR application but I cannot get any channels in MediaPortal. It says no signal.

I have uninstalled Media Centre now and anything else that may conflict. I just have MediaPortal single seat install 1.2.3.

The DTV card (Analog and DvbT) appears under TV Servers, but when I scan for channels on DvbT, Australia > All Regions, it says no signal for everything.

Things I have tried:
- Disabling analog card leaving only DvbT enabled.
- Editing DvbT card and changing it to DVBT instead of Generic for preferred network provider
- Manually adding channels. When I try to preview I get a PreviewFailed Graph failed error.
- Installing manufacturer drivers for card and also trying Windows drivers for card.
- Uninstalling anything that may conflict. Reinstalling MP.
- Using advanced tuning and entering the channel frequencies.
- Fresh install of Win7 with MediaPortal

I have also tried For the Record and it can recognize the card as well but it gives me a fatal error when trying to scan.

I am really stumped. I have searched these forums forever trying to find a solution.


I have attached a tv log and screenshot.

So I seem to have sorted out the issue.

I can now get TV and scan the channels ok. Yet to get EPG data, but I'm sure I can work through that.

What I had to do was rollback to Vista/2k drivers for my tuner. The Win7 drivers were causing the problem obviously. Not sure why, but there you go!
