[QUOTE="Tomse, post: 222563, member: 56966"] 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) [CODE] <capturecard commercialname="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog" capturename="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog" devid="ven_1131&dev_7133&subsys_002f11bd&rev_d0"> <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"></capabilities> <tv> <interface cat="mux" video="" audio="" mpeg2="0"></interface> <filters> <filter cat="tvtuner" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog TV Tuner" checkdevice="false"></filter> <filter cat="tvaudio" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog TV Audio" checkdevice="false"></filter> <filter cat="crossbar" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog Xbar" checkdevice="fal"></filter> <filter cat="capture" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Analog Capture" checkdevice="true"></filter> <filter cat="videncoder" name="%videoencoder%" checkdevice="false"></filter> <filter cat="audencoder" name="%audioencoder%" checkdevice="false"></filter> <filter cat="mux" name="%mpegmux%" checkdevice="false"></filter> </filters> <connections> <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%tvtuner%"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio" sinkpin="0"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%audiotuner%"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="1"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="videncoder" sinkpin="0"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="3" sinkfilter="audencoder" sinkpin="0"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="videncoder" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux" sinkpin="0"></connection> <connection sourcefilter="audencoder" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux" sinkpin="1"></connection> </connections> </tv> </capturecard> <capturecard commercialname="Pinnacle PCTV 310i DVBT HYBRID Digital" capturename="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Digital Capture" devid="ven_1131&dev_7133&subsys_002f11bd&rev_d0"> <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/> <tv> <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/> <filters> <filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/> <filter cat="tunerdevice" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA DVBT Tuner" checkdevice="true"/> <filter cat="capture" name="Pinnacle PCTV 713x Tuner BDA Digital Capture" checkdevice="true"/> </filters> <connections> <connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/> <connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"/> </connections> </tv> </capturecard> [/CODE] 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.
