Has anyone had any success with the Videomate E800f.
This card is a DVB-T device with Composite and Svideo inputs.

The DVB-T side is likely to work, but the analog wont (missing required hardware MPEG2 encoder).

You may need to add a new section to the bda.ini file. If you run filtercheck.exe from the gbpvr directory, and attach the filtercheck.log, I'll let you know what needs to be in bda.ini.

here is the log file.

Try adding this to your bda.ini file:

[Compro VideoMate 2388x]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate 2388x BDA Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate 2388x AVStream TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I've got the E800F and I tried adding the info to the bda.ini file but it still isn't picking it up, any suggestions? thanks

try running the filtercheck and see if the filternames given in the bda.ini entry are the same
(they may have changed in the drivers in the year & a half since that post was written)
