The card is in the devicelist of Windows, but TVService doesn't seem to pick it up. I think this card also needs somekind of intialization.So because no initialization, there is also no configuration possible and therefore no sound, autotune, picture etc.For example, when using the standard Technotrend TV Program, there is a splash-screen when starting the program that shows initialization of the card. After initialization the card is available to the program. Same method is used in WinSTB (opensource an on sourceforge) and Tvedia, the program I now use for my HTPC. I don't know if this initialization is also done when using a 'BDA'-card, such as Skystar2 etc. But for now, I think this initialization-step should come first.AFAIK, WinSTB use the WDM-drivers of the card and pushes the data through a Directshow-filter (not sure how it works, but searching on google gave me some results). Maybe the code of WinSTB will help you?We could also contact Technotrend and fill in some forms so they can release the SDK for the Premium-cards. Maybe they also lent the team some cards, as they did with some of their 'BDA'-cards. There are a lot of people out there having a premium-card. Just look at the biggest DVB-shops in Germany, those cards are still sold!It would be a great addition for MediaPortal and even could boost popularity (Look at the views the original thread has in General Development, over 30,000!!).Draktheas also mentioned a rewrite of MPSA. Do you know what this rewrite is and if you have this code?If I could help you gathering information for example, let me know!Last, MBB thanks for your help so far, I know you are really busy at the moment for the MDAPI-plugin!</blockquote>
