Hi,
I'm a refugee from MythTV and Linux.
After trying for a year to get a working MythTV system, I decided to give Windows and Media Portal a try.
My main interest is in watching live HDTV, as I have a working WMCE system to record with.
Area: Media Portal Program
MediaPortal Version: 0.2.0.0 RC4 (2006-04-18)
MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo
Windows Version: Windows XP (SP2)
.NET CLR Version: 2.0.50727
DirectX Version: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c)
Audio Codec: MPEG/AC3/DTS/LPCM Audio Decoder
Video Codec: NVIDIA Video Decoder
CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz
Memory: 1 GB
Motherboard: P4PB
TV Card Model: pcHDTV
TV Card Type: Software
TV Card Driver: Conexant 4.0.101.0 (BDA)
Video Card Model: Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT (128 MB)
Video Card Driver: 84.21
Video Card Resolution: 1024x768
Video Render Type: VMR9
Audio Card Model: CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device
Audio Card Driver: C-Media 5.12.1.643
Synopsis:: -
There is a listing for the pcHDTV card in the CaptureCardDefinitions file, but I had to modify it slightly:
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="Conexant BDA ATSC Tuner/Demod"
The Windows BDA drivers are on the pcHDTV installation CD, as are the instructions for installing them.
All of the other information that I needed for setting up Media Portal I got from this forum and the Media Portal Manual
Thanks!
Paul
