[QUOTE="Foaming, post: 313667, member: 82702"] I have the Pinnacle HDTV PCI card (800i). MediaPortal is able to detect and view the analog channels, but when I scan the QAM channels it doesn't find any. I have tried most of the choices in the QAM type pulldown list. Scanning usually leaves the card locked for some reason so scanning is a bit of a pain. The software that comes with the card finds several QAM channels. Sadly, the other PVR sotware I tried, gbpvr, was able to pick up the QAM channels, but couldn't use the analog channels because the card lacks hardware MPEG-2 compression or something along those lines. I have poked around in the forums here, but I haven't seen anything that fixed it.
