Here is a first staus report for my Medion 7134 Card (This type of card is used in the popular german "Aldi-PC", so I think here in Germany many people use this card):

-TV-Modul starts fine.
-Changing channels works
-Picture quality is OK
-Sound quality is great (much better than the results I get with GotTV)!
-Recording does not work, but this is already said in the announcement so I didn't expect this anyway
-There is one strange thing (bug): If you exit from the TV-module to the main menu there is a freezed TV-picture displayed over the menu. You can navigate through the menu but the picture remains on top so you can't see what you do.

machine > ok, understand what you mean.
Is this in all modes? if not wich mode gives this problem?
So try using overlay, or vmr9 rendered / windowed.
You can set this mode in setup TV.

thnx

MrMario,

tried all 3 modes. Same problem everywhere. Just noticed sth. else: If you switch from TV to the TV-guide everything is fine. There is no picture over the guide-menu... Strange...

did you restart MP after the mode change in config ?

Just tried with the latest cvs code with a Hauppauge bt878 WinTV card and it seems to work OK. Couple of things are odd.

Pressing timeshift once flips the image, pressing it twice causes a hang.
