Hi, My Pinnacle PCTV 2000i Dual DVB-T which was working flawlessly on mp 1.02 (and mp 1.01 before that), heres what i did to break it.
* Plugged in a cheap usb dvb-t tuner and loaded its drivers.
* The usb tuner wasnt recognised by mp 1.02 so i removed it.
-------------------------------
TADA tv capability gone
-------------------------------
* MP then wouldnt play any tv.
* MP server config still displayed my PCTV card ok but on a channel scan would fail to find any channels
* Ariel is working fine going straight to digital tv
* Reloaded windows xp to mp requirements and re-installed MP1.02
* Same problem card is recognised by MP1.02 but fails to find any channels in scan (All Australia and N.T Darwin)
* Blew away XP and reloaded to mp requirements again but this time installed the pinnacle pctv software and same problem, channel scan only takes 2 seconds and fails to find any channels within PCTV
* Blew away xp again and tried mp1.02 one more time still no channels found
AGGGGHHHHHHHHH
Was it just a coincidence that immediantely after adding usb tuner i fried the tuning chip (or similar) of my Pinnacle PCTV 2000i Dual DVB-T ???
Anyway enough whinge-ing
Anyone reccomend a rock solid pci (no pcie on this m-board) dual digital tuner card for mediaportal for use within australia?
Thanks for your time
Regards
