Some more info.

The card is in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml but only for DVBT how can i add the Analog part.


DVBT:

<capturecard commercialname="Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital" capturename="PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital Capture" devid="vid_eb1a&pid_2881&mi_00">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true" />
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5" />
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false" />
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital TVTuner" checkdevice="true" />
<filter cat="capture" name="PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick Digital Capture" checkdevice="true" />

Hi
I have the exact same problem as cristianvh with the same tuner Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro.

Dont anyone know how add this as analoge tuner?

christianvh: Did you find a solution?

 

[christianvh]

No i havent found any solution yet.

And i dont know what to do...

 

[mortenb]

Thats a shame... it really works great with the Pinnacle Media Center, but the epg support are insufficient for danish television.

I hope somebody have the answer.
