[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 312662, member: 49844"] The TV Server Wiki says: In general the tvserver supports 1. any DVB/ATSC card which has BDA drivers 2. any analog card with h/w encoding onboard 3. some analog cards which use s/w encoding 4. the SkyStar-2/Airstar-2/!?CableStar-2 cards I think the compatibility lists were intended for TVE2, which relied on a card definitions xml file to configure the card. TV Server (TVE 3) can detect anything that is Microsoft BDA compatible. Certainly the DNTV card is not on the list, and (at least the DVB part) works flawlessly with TV Server. I fixed the analogue part too last night, but I think I still have some issues to resolve on that. A solution for your Pay TV requirement (rather than the analogue path) is to use a card that has CI/CAM capability. From the TV Server Wiki: The CI/CAM slot allows you to insert a smartcard and watch paytv channels. Without a CI/CAM slot and smartcard it is not possible to watch encrypted (paytv) channels.
