I searched the feature requests board and was surprised to see no one has mentioned this. I think support for the Fusion, ATI and A180 HDTV cards would be extremely nifty.

I think they're discussing DVB tuning. But I dunno how related that is to ATSC tuning.

That's a good point. However, as you probably know, it's been announced that there is support for some ATSC cards in Media Portal now, and there'll be even more on July 1st when .1.3 is released.

Over the air ATSC is working well on the current CVS build for me with my Fusion3-T. Now all it needs is be able to support QAM decoding with it. (If there's anything I can do to help add QAM support, I'll do it)

    Details about the Fusion:...

    QAM decoding is under development due to the variations in Cable service providers. QAM256 generally has been reported to work, although QAM64 still poses problems with the decoding software. FusionHDTV QAM decoding is limited to only the non-encrypted channels available (generally the OTA local stations).

    The ATSC implementation to date is OTA focused.
    If you have the abilities to program in C# and then ability to make MP cable aware for ATSC then by all means download the source files and submit the patched files to Frodo to look at.

    Hi Dman/Frodo,

    I'm an AVSForum member newly introduced to your excellent app. It has come a long way and looks to be improving rapidly all the time; congrats to you, Frodo and the entire community.

    Wonder if you might help me. I searched Wiki, FAQ's and forums but still can't find a proper answer: do people have 256QAM tuning working with MP yet? Is there a build which would allow me to use the Zap2It-fed EPG with a FusionHDTV 5 Gold (BDA drivers) for QAM256 tuning? Has anyone made this work? Are there plans in the CVS to make this work?

    I'm assuming there are no plans to interoperate with the hardware-based (non-BDA drivers) MyHD 120/130 series of cards. If there is any current or planned interoperability with MP, please let me know, as I would be very interested in this as well.

    Many thanks in advance for your guidance.
    -Adam

    Ad-Rok,

    Try your FusionHDTV 5 Gold with the latest SVN build of TVServer.

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    Hi This is a general question about OnX. I have been using the TvWishList plugin for a while and have recently updated (update install) from MP 1.36 x86 to 1.37 x86 and found there seemed to be no Onx menu in the TV guide. I then configured the onx.presets.xml file like I would normally do with updates or fresh installs, but still...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    MP1 MP2 Case Downsizing DE
    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
