Please help!

I am new to Mediaportal and is trying to add pcHD-5500 to my HTPC. Is this card already supported? I found from other discussions that to add a new card, it should be added to the carddefinitions.xml. Unfortunately I could not locate this file. Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi there :)

    Please add your System Specs (see my signature for detail).
    More specific to your question, what is your MediaPortal setup and versions?
    If I recall correctly, that file is only applicable to the old inbuild tv. The newer TVServer is not using it and should already pick up your card. Not 100% sure though. If not already on it, can you try the TVServer?
    Is is a High Definition card? Even more reason to use TVServer.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am trying to use the TV server. It identifies the card,(ATSC PVDA 408 BDA DVB Tuner/Demod) but when I do a channel scan, it says no signal. A sample of error log below. It is connected to the Comcast basic cable (which should be QAM). I tried various QAM tuning frequencies but of no use. Though it is brand new, I started suspecting the physical connector on the card.
