By the way, your device id may be slightly different to mine if so just change the details below i.e. devid=&quot;ven_109e&amp;amp;dev_036 etc to what your card says. You can find out your cards details by going to:Control Panel -&gt; System -&gt; Device Manager -&gt; Expand the Sound, video and game controllers. Right click on BTCap, WDM Video Capture and click on the Details tab. Select either the Deviceid drop down or the Hardware Ids drop down. That will give you the specific details for your card. Also make sure that text matches.If you have a problem in detecting your card after check the capture cardname devid, you need to check the text. You need to download a program called GraphEdit. Once you have installed it you need the names of the various Video and Audio filters and ensure the match the names below. In my case by expanding the WDM Streaming capture devices provides you with the name of the appropriate device which is the text for the capture name.Expand WDM Streaming TV Tuner Devices for the tvtuner text.Expand WDM Streaming TV Audio Devices for the tvaudio text.Expand WDM Streaming Crossbar Devices for the crossbar text.Good luck, and please let me know how you get on.CheersSteve&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;&lt;capturecards&gt;&nbsp; &lt;capturecard commercialname=&quot;Tview99 Conexant Analogue&quot; capturename=&quot;Conexant Capture&quot; devid=&quot;ven_109e&amp;amp;dev_036e&amp;amp;subsys_3002144f&amp;amp;rev_02&quot;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;capabilities tv=&quot;true&quot; radio=&quot;true&quot; mpeg2=&quot;true&quot; mce=&quot;false&quot; sw=&quot;false&quot; bda=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;tv&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;interface cat=&quot;mux&quot; video=&quot;&quot; audio=&quot;&quot; mpeg2=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filters&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;tvtuner&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;Conexant TvTuner&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;tvaudio&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;Conexant TvAudio&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;crossbar&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;Conexant Crossbar&quot;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;capture&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; name=&quot;Conexant Capture&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;audcapture&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;%soundcard%&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;videncoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;%videoencoder%&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;audencoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;%audioencoder%&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;filter cat=&quot;mux&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; name=&quot;%mpegmux%&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; checkdevice=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/filters&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connections&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;tvtuner&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;crossbar&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;%tvtuner%&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;tvtuner&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;1&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;tvaudio&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;tvaudio&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;crossbar&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;%audiotuner%&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;crossbar&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;capture&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;capture&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;videncoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;audcapture&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;audencoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;videncoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;mux&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;connection sourcefilter=&quot;audencoder&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; sourcepin=&quot;0&quot; sinkfilter=&quot;mux&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sinkpin=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/connections&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/tv&gt;&nbsp; &lt;/capturecard&gt;</blockquote>

[QUOTE="Steve Clarke, post: 77823, member: 24564"] I have included the latest view of the CaptureCardDefinition file below (it may be the same as my last entry). I have found to get reasonable playback, timeshifting, and recording I needed to do the follow 1) Download the Nvidia Pure Video/Audio decoders, mentioned else where in the forums and set them as my default Video and Audio decoders 2) Set the Audio Render, under settings when you are running MP to "Default Direct Sound Device". This has improved lip sync. How knows why I can't select Sound Blaster Live-24bit explicity? 3) Download the InterVideo demo and install this. This is required to take the Video Stream and Audio stream put on by the card and create a MPEG2 stream I believe. It is my understanding that MP requires a MPEG2 because it uses Directshow for some of the TV, Video and Sound routines. This card doesn't natively produce a Hardware Encoded MPEG2 stream so the Intervideo software does this, but is taxing on the CPU. 4) I found the autotuning didn't work out for me. What I did for the channel setup was I explicitly set the TV frequencies and the channel numbers and country. I took this information from the tuning info for DScaler 4.x the TV playing program. I haven't been able to tune TV1 channel in New Zealand successfully yet, that is the only thing outstanding. This issue is probably related to the TUNING tables used by Direct Sound in New Zealand because Microsoft didn't release the correct tables for our country. 5) I also have EPG working as well using a manual method of creating the TVGUIDE.xml file and directing MP to the location of the file. So all in all it is working ok. Although I think it is quite taxing on my CPU. There probably other tweaks to get it working better. Being a single Tuner you can only watch and record one channel at a time. I would be interested to have your feedback on whether this works for you, and what your performance is like. By the way, your device id may be slightly different to mine if so just change the details below i.e. devid="ven_109e&dev_036 etc to what your card says. You can find out your cards details by going to: Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Expand the Sound, video and game controllers. Right click on BTCap, WDM Video Capture and click on the Details tab. Select either the Deviceid drop down or the Hardware Ids drop down. That will give you the specific details for your card. Also make sure that text matches. If you have a problem in detecting your card after check the capture cardname devid, you need to check the text. You need to download a program called GraphEdit. Once you have installed it you need the names of the various Video and Audio filters and ensure the match the names below. In my case by expanding the WDM Streaming capture devices provides you with the name of the appropriate device which is the text for the capture name. Expand WDM Streaming TV Tuner Devices for the tvtuner text. Expand WDM Streaming TV Audio Devices for the tvaudio text. Expand WDM Streaming Crossbar Devices for the crossbar text. Good luck, and please let me know how you get on.
