Problem with analog TV-Card (1 Viewer)

[ShAddiX]

Good evening!

It's my first try to install the TVServer. But it doesn't find any channels.
I have the WinTV Go 2 (Hauppauge WinTV 88x Tuner).

Is there a solution for this problem?

no chance - software analog TV cards do not work with the TV engine 3

try the TV engine 2 without the TV server

Well, I checked the supported cards for TV Engine 2, but mine isn't supported. (88x)
So that's it, no TV in Media Portal =(

i have an Hauppauge HVR-4000 (CX88x), which is also not listed. But it works with Mediaportal (i just had to install WinDVR and Hauppauge software encoder)



just try it

Hi all,

try installing WINTVCD 4.0 from http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/support/support_new_xpvista.html.
Follow carefully all steps provided in the link and you will have Hauppauge work fine...

I tried both with no success.
WinDVR and WinTVCD 4 can use my card. But when I go into the Media Portal configuration and press the add button in the cepture card menu, it says that there were no capture card found. =(
TV Engine 3 even doesn't find my card anymore after I installed Win TVCD 4.

Hi Chemelli, the steps you are referring to, does that relate to getting the Hauppauge working with TVE3 or TVE2?

I have the HVR4000 also and whilst I can get the DVB-S part working just fine, the Analogue fails due to the lack of a hardware Mpeg encoder. If you have the Analogue in that card working with TVE3 I am very interested in following your example.

mruane,

I'm on TV3 with HVR-4000. You need at least SVN 16379 to have analog card working. Take care that you need to put it in a hybrid card with DVB-T. Leave instead alone the DVB-S.

If you get no audio/video signal during preview, assure to have both WINTV CD 4.0 installed ( in particular MPEG SW decoders ) and the new SVN.

Hi Chemelli

Ok to summarise then, I should create a "Hybrid" card in TVE3 and place both the DVB-T and Analogue tuners into the "Hybrid" entry but leave the DVB-S tuner out of that entry. Then ensure that SVN 16379 is installed and finally get the WINTV CD4.0 drivers and applications installed (following the instructions in the link above).

I will report how I get on - but this will solve a lot of issues for me if I have the results you have.

Many thanks for the feedback.

Cheers Mike

Hi Chemelli

Well I am not sure what you are doing, but in my case, all I get when I select a channel that has been detected on the Analogue tuner in the HVR4000 is Audio/Video Not Found.

I uninstalled all of the Hauppauge drivers and rebooted. Then I installed v4.0 of the drivers and installed all of the Hauppauge software. I can receive analogue TV from the analogue card using WinTV. Then I installed SVN Build 16369 of TVE3 (because 16379 is not out yet - I presumed you made a mistake in the reference) and I was able to tune the analogue channels that I expected to see, but TVE3 simply cannot display channels from this tuner. I also created a Hybrid group and assigned just the DVB-T and the Analogue tuner to that hybrid group.

So can you confirm that you are getting the analogue channels of the HVR4000 Analogue tuner in TVE3? If so, I am puzzled at how you managed that. Do you have any other software installed that could change the way in which TVE3 engages with the analogue tuner in the HVR4000?

Cheers Mike
