Hi all I have looked around the FAQs etc for an answer and cannot find it hence this post.
I have just fitted a brand new Hauppauge WinTV-Nova TD-500 into my PC and have done a fresh install of XP Home + SP3. I have downloaded all updates, installed all software and drivers for the TV Card, then Mediaportal. I have also run the DVB fix.
When I start the MediaPortal Configuration it tells me no TV card is detected.
The WinTV software runs fine and there are no problems reported in Device Manager.
I have used previous versions of Mediaportal successfully with my old TV card, which was an older WinTV Nova-T-500.

Any suggestions as to what may be wrong? Is my new card unsupported?
Thanks!

Sorry - I think I have found the answer. Looks like I need to replace a config file somewhere. I guess I was hoping that my card would be supported by default in MP V1.0.....
Sorry to waste your time.
BTW if anyone wants to post a quick guide on how to update the config, please feel free. Meantime I will keep reading the old threads for the info.
Cheers.

Sorry I still need help. I found some old posts (2007/8) relating to the new WinTV Nova TD-500 card but these were well before MP V1 was released. The fix then was to download and install a new carturecarddefinitions.xml file but that does not seem to work for MP V1 as there is no such file any more

I am really hoping someone out there can help - otherwise I will have to consider Vista (which I don't like as it can only download epg via the internet) or some other media center software......
Thanks again!
