[QUOTE="pandew, post: 172906, member: 55059"] [b]try this...[/b] hello... first post here... i also have one of these cards and struggled at first to get MP to recognize it. Despite editing the capturecardsdefinitions file I couldn't get it to work. However found If you load the TVserver version of mediaportal it does pick the card up and you can use both the analogue and digital tuner parts. Tvserver didn't work real well for me- lots of lock-ups and crashes... so back to square one Went back to regular flavour mediaportal setup... got the card name for tuner from the tvserver setup ie. "WinFast DTV1800 H BDA Tuner/Demod" and used this as "commercialname" and voila... all is well. So for those with this card you have 2 options as I see it: 1. use single seat setup of tvserver and card will be recognized automatically 2. cut and paste the following into your capturecardsdefinitions.xml file and you should be able to use mediaportal. hope this helps pete <capturecard commercialname="WinFast DTV1800 H BDA Tuner/Demod" capturename="WinFast DTV1800 H AVStream TS Capture" devid="ven_14f1&dev_8800&subsys_6654107d&rev_05"> <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" 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="WinFast DTV1800 H BDA Tuner/Demod" checkdevice="true"/> <filter cat="capture" name="WinFast DTV1800 H AVStream TS 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> forgot to add in 1st post... this fix will only enable digital tuning- I haven't tried to setup support for the analogue tuning in this card and probably won' bother as have found digital reception where I am to be great. love this program and the support from both mediaportal main site and forums is fantastic!
