I've been looking at GBPVR recently, and am pretty impressed. I do though, have a Terratec Cinergy 2400DT which has been causing some issues (I'm sure others can relate to this). I'm running the latest (beta) .255 drivers which detect all the functions of the card correctly (bridge, tuner and capture)
Basically, the main issue is it won't detect any channels on a scan. I've configured both tuners in GBPVR as capture sources, and set the correct DVB-T transmitter (Hannington, Southern England), but scanning with either tuner finds nothing.
I've tried various mediacenter apps now, and discovered the following;
1. Terratec Home Cinema. Detects all channels fine, good stable picture. No jumps or skips, but tuner scan sensitivity has to be set to 'fine'. This app is good for diags, but not what I would call a 'mediacenter'
2. WinXPMCE. Polished front end. Easy to use. Channel scan detects masses of frequencies (800+). A large amount are -1Mhz off the true channel centre frequency. Sorting all this out is a pain in the a*se, as you have to re-order all the channels, then link the EPG to each channel. Takes ages. Picture is good, but stutters and breaks up on certain muxes making it unwatchable. MCE does not seem very good with DVB-T
3. Media Portal. Good design, but needs more work. Channel scan detects all channels ok, but stability of package comes into question (had a few crashes).
4. GBPVR. Looks good. Stable so far, and excellent DVB-T support, but will not detect ANY channels on a channel scan. The Terratec 2400 is on the certified adapter list, so someone must have it working. I've tried re-registering the files, changing DVB scan type etc (all the usual methods) but nothing gives. Am I missing something here? Other people seem to be having similar issues. Has anyone got to the bottom of the problem?
If anyone has got the card working on Hannington, do you have scan cache files I can look at?
Before I pull my hair out, can anyone help!

I had exactly the same problem as you and didn't get anywhere after trying all the things people suggested.
