RCA (composite) input not working (1 Viewer)

[r32godzilla]

Hey all,

I am trying to hook up my Satellite TV via RCA to my HTPC. I have connected it through the RCA input on my Dvico HDTV card and have tested that the Sat signal works fine in the Dvico Fusion software. I cannot for the life of me get any signal through media portal and it is driving me bonkers!!

I have tried nearly everything I can think of under:

Mediaportal Setup-Television-TV Channels-Add-External


When you hit ok and close it the selection does not stay there. I have tried all the other ones as well (SVHS etc) but everytime I go into Media Portal -> TV and try and look at the new channel I have added it says failed or just has the digital TV tuner channel on.

Any ideas?!

Hello i can't actually help you. But i can inform you that i have looked around for a RGB capture card. And i can't say i actually have found any tv-card with RGB input at least not supported by MP.. So are you really sure that your card has RGB input. How is it connected!?..

There are MANY cards called HDTV - so pick out the one you got ...

DViCO FusionHDTV Tuner PCI, USB: Home > Products > FusionHDTV PRODUCT MATRIX

Yeah sorry guys I didn't even realise i mistakenly put RGB instead of RCA (composite)! I was doing this late at night. Doh! Anyway my card is an older model HDTV card from 2004. I can't even find specs on it on the Dvico site anymore. See this review below for a pic of it

Overclockers Australia - DVIco FusionHDTV DVB-T Digital TV Tuner Card

Anyhow I can see a signal using the RCA input and running the DVICO software. I just can't get anything in Media Portal.

Cheers.

Hi ya!

Did you ever resolve this please?
I have exactly the same card and the same problem..
Everything works fine in the crappy Dvico software, but no composite input is available in MP..
Cheers,
Dave
