Cesto, please think about the way you post and what you post! Only mocking around and no proper report won't lead any dev to help you. There is no need and it wont help to speak such tartly. Try to strike the right note!

Dear Cesto,

the staff/devs need to do nothing. You haven't paid them, so you don't can claim anything from them.

I guess after your posting none of the devs is willing to help you.

You should remember that they spend their free time to develop MediaPortal. They don't owe anything to anybody.
If you want something, you should ask them polite and give them all information they need.

The PCTV 310i card has had a lot of problems being found by Media Portal

I've fought with the card and MP since I bought the card over a year ago.

I've managed to get MP to find the card (both of them since it's a hybrid DVB-T/Analog)

go to the folder where you installed MP and edit the file CaptureCardDefinitions.xml
you can use notepad as an editor

copy the code written below into the bottom of the file JUST before the line </capturecards>
(above line is for novice people. All you other advanced people can just paste it where you want, since
you know what you're doing)

These settings are for the 1.3.3.5 driver downloaded from Pinnacle's homepage.
if you have the 1.3.3.0 drivers, your card should already be found.

I haven't tested yet if the card can actually scan for channels.
I'll do that tomorrow since I have to go to the attic to pick up my TV cables.
Yes they are there, and have been there for a long time.

I'd like to thank Eiza for his post that actually made me try out some things, and now I've learned to add a new card to the list.
his original post is here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...794.html?t=23794&highlight=Pinnacle+PCTV+310i

I will make a new topic with this guide as well
