Dear All,

I have installed my ASUS P7131 Analog TV card.
With this card you also get a version of TotalMedia 3.5
With this program I am able to watch my analog Cable TV on my computer.

The point is that I don't like the TotalMedia program at all.
Therefore I installed the MediaPortal TV server.
Problem now is that this program does not find any channel.
I already tried the BDA drivers for my ASUS card but with the same result.

Is there anybody who got this ASUS card working on MediaPortal TV server.
If they are not compatible can you please give me a list af analog TV cards that are compatible with the MediaPortal TV server

Thanks in advance

    Hi Christian

    First there is no list of compatible cards. We could never keep such a list up to date, therefore we don't even try. There are two criteria that TV Server requires for support of analog cards, and they're stated clearly at the top of our supported cards wiki page:

    1. BDA drivers.
    2. Tuner must not *require* a connection to the sound card.

    Note that getting analog cards to work can be tricky if they require software encoders. I suspect (after searching the forums) that your card does require software encoders, but I can't be sure since you haven't posted logs (which are required for support threads like this). You might want to have a read of -->this page<-- and -->this thread<--.

    Thanks for the links,

    I've read the article on the software encoding I will try to do something with that

    I'm not sure whether the settings he picks under TV-Server would be required to be altered from the default values either... Also, check that you've got the correct country and formats selected before you scan for channels...

    I'm now able to get some channels, but when I try to watch them by using MediaPortal or XBMC I get an error regarding the audiovideo codec

    I suspect the issue is related to the use of the Intervideo encoders, but I can't be sure because you haven't provided the full set of logs as requested. Please provide *all* TV Server logs - it is better for me to have too much information than not enough...
