Can someone post a ranking of recommended H/W cards for MP (at least 10)?

    Hi,

    This is probably not answering your question, but IMO the best way to approach this. Check the wiki-page for supported hardware: http://www.maisenbachers.de/dokuw/install:capturecards:start . The capture cards that are fully supported have their common name written in a green font, the partial supported cards are listed red. The list itself is pretty much self-explanatory. The card's common name is also a link to another wiki page which might contain extra info about this card.

    After consulting this list, search the forum for different user experiences with the cards. Please note that MP supports different kind of capture cards (analog as well as all DVB types), so your question is too unspecific to answer.

    Kind regards,
    Michel

    Agree, ranking cards is hard when most people only have direct experience with 1 or 2.
    I chose a PVR-350 after researching variouse HTPC-related sites. It's been around the longest and is basically a "reference" card for getting HTPC/DVR?PVR software to work.

    But does it provide the best quality? Too many variables to objectively rank.

    I recently bought a DVB-T card based on popularity of use both here and on an XPMCE forum is Australia. A whole weekend wasted trying to install this card. Turns out I may have gotten a faulty card (currently with retailer for testing). So, even if you do choose a "Top 3" card, your own experience could be quite different from others.

    Just did an update of my system from Win 7 / MP 1.25 to Win 10 / MP 1.31 on a single seat system and came across a problem with the tv server startup being erratic. Approx 50% of the time on PC reboot from scratch the tv server process was showing "starting" but would never start and consequently neither would MP or MP Server Config...

    I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that. If I manually put the TV only into standby when TV is playing but paused then on wakeup I could not immediately take it out of pause and...
