Now this is frustrating... I am sooo close (1 Viewer)

I have got my Pinnacle Nano USB stick working with TV Server and MP... but wait for it. It only works if I load up the Pinnacle TV Center and play a channel first, then close the Center and load TV Server or MP.

If I hibernate or reboot all bets are off.... as when I try and view a channel in TV Server or MP with the Nano I get the "unable to create graph" error message.

PLEASE HELP! I have been running the machine for a week without rebooting and hiberating, but I would like to close it down without the whole procedure afterwards.

I use the Nano as a second tuner to my Winfast PVR3200H (which works perfectly). I am running WinXP SP3 with all latest patches and MP RC2 SVN.

I also tried PowerCinema 5 which had similar problems using the Nano if I didn't run the Pinnacle TV Center first.

Thats strange ...

If you want to watch digital TV, you must install it in order to avoid crashes and other odd behaviour!

So, did you install the BDA fix? -> GeneralRequirements - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

Also: Logs and system specs are required

Yes, I have installed the BDA fix, including going into safe mode and replacing all files. I have checked dxdiag to make sure and it has been installed ok.

I have attached my latest logs.

Hi
I am having the same problem with a Pinnacle PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI..
has anybody found a solution or a workaround?
I have tried to increase the time the TV server detects the cards but doesn't make any difference.
I read somewhere on this forum that there is another driver but that doesn't seem to support Diseqc.
Of course this way it is not usable as a home TV setup.
All failing, is there another card that can be recommended - dual tuner, HW decoder, Diseqc support that doesn't have any issues with Sleep/Standby?

Thanks
