[QUOTE="Steve Clarke, post: 74944, member: 24564"] I believe after some hacking I have made my Software TV Card - work with MediaPlayer (i.e. I can see various TV channels, change channels etc) I have attached a Graph File, Picture of the Graph, and run the MediaPlayer Testtool. These files are attached to this message. Below is the code that I have inserted for my Tview 99 - CPH05X card. I have found that sometimes when I start MediaPlayer, the graphics aren't working properly. I then start my native TV program and/or DScaler then afterwards I run MediaPlayer and everything works. I haven't got MediaPlayer working full screen yet. I pretty sure there is a lot more configurations that I can do to improve playback on a Software TV Card. Any suggestions are welcome. Note: Other people could probably get success also with their Askey, Typhoon, Anubis or Dynalink cards that are using Sigmatel BT878 Conexant type chips. To get mine working I looked at the deviceid information under Device Manager for my TV Card, and searched for a similar Vendor Id in the CaptureCardsDefinition.xml file.
