Hey,

unfortunately I cannot get this card to work with Mediaportal. I am currently not working on the system I try to describe in the following but if any further information is needed, I will post it later on:

Area: Media Portal Program
MP Version: 0.2 RC3
Skin: standard (?)
Windows Version: Windows XP MCE 2005 SP2
CPU Type: Intel Centrino 1.4 GHz
Memory: 512 MB DDR
Motherboard Chipset: ?
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 mobility
Video Card Driver: omega-drivers
Video Card Resolution: 1280 x 800
Video Render Type: ?
Video Codec Type & Version: Intervideo Codec
Audio Codec Type & Version: ?
TV Card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2
TV Card Type: hardware
TV Card Driver: actual donwload on HP-Support site: pvrusb2-30b


Synopsis:

I installed the card with the latest driver from the Hauppauge-Support-Site (not the MCE-driver). Using the Hauppauge-Software, I can watch and hear analog cable TV perfectly.

But the card doesn´t work with mediportal. First of all, the card was not recognized during the configuration of MP --> I updated the capturecarddefinitions.xml with some code I found in this forum. After that, the card was recognised an I could configure it. When I am trying to do the autotuning (tv and radio) all the found channels are listed (and it is the correct amount of channels in my cable-net in germany) but during the autotuning there is a black screen and I can not hear any sound when a channel is found.
This problem exists when I want to start "Fernsehen" ("MyTV" i guess), too. There is a black screen and no sound and there is no sound when I try to hear radio.

Do I have to do any changes in the capturecarddefinitions.xml?

I think it is not a big problem, because the card is recognised and all channels are found.

Can anybody helb me?!

Thanks

PS: In my opinion MP is the best Media Center Software and it would be a pitty, if I cannot use it :(
