Anyone got it working with W2K8 x64?

:D

I am having the same problems to getting it work on Windows 2008 x64.
I need and want to use Windows 2008, so Vista or XP is not an option for me.

I was able to start the TV Configuration once, but after I restarted the TVService, I keep getting the error "service not started". The funny thing is when I stop the TVService, the config tool actually starts the TVService as supposed to, but then cannot access it for some reason.

Any help would be great.:D

After spending hours and hours of work, I finally got it to work.
Actually, Microsoft did REMOVE the BDA Support in Windows 2008.

But thanks to shahed26, who wrote a script to grab the files from a Vista machine, you can get BDA working on Windows 2008 again. For all with this problem, get the file and scripts here:
BDA (Tv tuner support) on Server 2008 - MSFN Forums

And remember if you are using Windows 2008 x64, you will need a Vista SP1 x64 machine to get the source bda files.

    Server 2008 64bit TV server working well

    Can also confirm this works on Server 64bit SP1 by following the instructions from shahed26. I have all the bits you need together if you do not have a Vista 64 SP1 machine to pillage.

    HD Only issues

    Have been using 2K8 for my TV server for a while now as the server but I still cannot get the HD to work. Has anyone got this to work ?

    MPTV client will open a stream but its choppy broken coloured bars thru it. Not sure really how to troubleshoot it.

    I do not really understand the arcitecture of the processing on the TV server side and why HD is different at that end. 2K8 would have different priorities I guess and maybe it is not allowing the TV service to run. I have set its priority to be realtime but suspect there is a lot more to this.

    any advice on this would be appreciated

    HD works fine it was a codec combination, I was using NVIDIA as my sound renderer and it is not compatible with HD I guess.

    hi i installed bda support and the tv server yesterday and it seems i have a problem.
    first everything runs great, but after some time the tv server freezes and i have to reboot.
    restarting the service won't work.

    i checked the tv.log and it seems that after the following entry the server stops.
    (the following entry is after the next reboot, which was ~10h later ).

    so it seems that "souvenirs" channel causes that problem when updating the epg.
    any idea how to fix that ?
    i am trying to remove that channel from epg update now...
