Synopsis::

MediaPortal does not recognise my Pinnacle PCTV Analog Pro USB.

When I try to watch TV it says ‘unable to create graph’. Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? I find Pinnacle MediaCenter extremely unsatisfactory, so I am very desperate to use MediaPortal.

I suspect its probably a software card actually; do you have software mpeg2 encoders installed?

 

[ajpevers]

Yes, I have NERO Mpeg2 encoder, VOB Mpeg2 Codec and various decoders, multiplexers, muxers, ajusters and splicers installed.

doggone it... I had a TV Wonder 200 and exchanged it at Bestbuy for the closest thing I could find to supported - the Pinnacle PCTV Pro USB. I'm having the same troubles. I'm sure that I could make a graph of it if I could just figure out where to start, but I just have no idea.

Is anyone using this device with success?
