Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to view analog TV using my 3056 hybrid twinhan tv card for quite a while now, without success. I have looked up every mention of this specific card in the MediaPortal forum and other DVB forums but I have not been able to solve my problem. I have also had a good look around the MediaPortal forums for similar problems to different cards but again no luck.

I have installed the latest BDA drivers, and I can use both analog and digital in the Twinhan TV viewing program, and I can watch digital inside MediaPortal but I can't watch analog. The fact that digital works makes me think it's some problem with my MediaPortal setup or capturecard definition rather than a hardware or driver issue.

Here's what I have tried to fix the issue:​

1. I added a new capturecard definition to the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file using GraphEdit as per the MediaPortal guide for adding unsupported TV cards (see below for the XML). The digital tuner was found and works fine but the analog component could not be graphed (but appears in my list of installed TV cards).

2. I was not sure if MediaPortal supported analog cards, So I Installed the TV-Engine V3 successfully and still, I had no luck getting the analog component to work.

In this thread another individual with the same card has the opposite problem, where the analog component works fine but the digital doesn't work at all. Both of us are using the same capturecard defnintion:

I don't know what else to try. I can't find a guide for troubleshooting analog cards and I have no more ideas to try.

Has anyone successfully used this hybrid card for both digital and analog, or have any clue what might solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
