Nothing shows up under "TV Servers" (1 Viewer)

[chaos215bar2]

I decided to try MediaPortal today, but was unable to complete the setup of either 1.0.2 or 1.1.0-alpha because of an identical problem. (I first tried 1.0.2 and then uninstalled and tried 1.1.0-alpha.) When I open the TV Server Configuration after installation, there is nothing listed under "TV Servers". The connection to the database seemed to complete successfully, as all the boxes turned green when I entered the password. This also doesn't seem like a card compatibility issue to me as the problem is not that there are no cards listed under the server but that the server itself does not show up. I'd really like to give MediaPortal a try so I'd appreciate any help with this.

TV-Server Version: 1.1.0-alpha
MediaPortal Version: 1.1.0-alpha
Windows Version: Vista x64
1. TV Card: ASUS EHD3-100

Have you installed the BDA drivers?

Which are the BDA drivers? I installed the drivers from ASUS's website, and the card appears to be working fine in Windows Media Center. (Though I'd really like to get proper support for the hybrid tuners, which is why I'm trying this.)

I have just installed MP 1.0.4.23491 and nothign shows up in TV Servers.
Running Vista x64 ultimate, Core i7 6GB RAM and the important part - HVR-2200.
The HVR-2200 works fine in VMC.
The drivers are the ones that come with WinTV7 bundle from Hauppage. They show as v7.6.1.27118, date 28/04/2009.
Not sure whether I need different ones for BDA support? Seems like others are using MP happily with this card and am eagerly looking forward to being able to share the card with other PCs in ther house. Looks far more configurable than VMC also.
On a tangent though, is there a plugin that looks like TV / Web Scheduler - ie. channels across and time going down the page. Find this much easier to review though possibly would not fit the UI model.

My lan is OK, I have one card to lan and one card to wi-fi with static ip configuration. I tryed to disable the lan card and/or wifi card but the problem not solved.
