Winfast DTV Dongle Not Detected (1 Viewer)

[parody]

Hi All

There seems to be a few post regarding this USB TV dongle, and a few have posted their capturecarddefinitions.xml file which they say works on their systems.

I purchased this usb dongle as it was listed as being supported in mediaportal documentation, yet in mediaportal setup the card is not recognised - Ive tried the original .xml file, several that others have posted and doing my own following the support page using graphedit to get pin assignements and filter/capture names but none work. I always get the "No Video Capture Cards Were Found..." message.

It works fine with the supplied software. Im getting a bit frustrated after waiting 2 weeks for it to be delivered, if no one can help it will be going back! This is the last part of my HTPC to get working!

Why is it listed as being supported yet so many people have problems?

Currently my .xml file is like so, this is a copy of one posted on the forum:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<capturecards>
<capturecard commercialname="WinFast DTV Dongle DIB7700" capturename="WinFast Digital Capture (Dev1 Path0)" devid="vid_0413&amp;pid_6f01&amp;mi_00">

<tv>

Think im getting somewhere but have hit another hurdle.

Managed to get its recognised but now when the autotune is run no channels are found. This is the config now:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<capturecards>
<capturecard commercialname="WinFast DTV Dongle DIB7700 (Dev1 Path0)" capturename="WinFast DTV Dongle DIB7700 (Dev1 Path0)" devid="vid_0413&amp;pid_6f00">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="tunerdevice" video="3" audio="4" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="2"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="WinFast DTV Dongle DIB7700 (Dev1 Path0)" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>
</capturecards>

And this is the log error:

When I create the graph in graphedit it looks fine. I wonder if it cant find the capture device because they are both the same name, so it cant disnguish between them? If I try this on my 32bit machine they are called tuner and capture respectively. But this is the only way it is recognised on 64bit.

Im using XP 64bit with the latest drivers for the DTV dongle. can anyone help?
Please?!!

Confirmed that exactly the same happens in vista X32 works with 32bit XP though for me
