I would like to run this card in analog mode. It does hardware encoding so it should be able to get an analog NTSC .ini right? Any help would be appreciated as XP media center just does not compare. Thanx in advance.

Can anyone help with this?

Do you have more than one capture card in your system? If so, what is the other card(s)?

No not at this time. I had a hauppauge pvr150 but that one is now gone and this is the only one. The OS is MS-MCE 2005

I'm on a small annoying keyboard away from home at the moment, so not keen on typing it myself, but effectively you should try adding a new section to the direct.ini file, modelled on the existing HVR2250 section, but replacing the names with those shown in your filtercheck.log

I'm on a tiny keyboard and typing things is painful. Basically, start replacing the Hauppauge strings with those for your device. For example.

Call the section something like
[Asus PE9400]

Change "FILTER_CROSSBAR=Hauppauge WinTV-7164 Analog Xbar" to "FILTER_CROSSBAR=7164 BDA Analog Xbar"

etc...

Does anyone know how to write a direct.ini from the info above? Any help would be appreciated

Not entirely sure that this will work, but add this section to the direct.ini file and then try to set up your capture source.

This worked and now all is working great...thank you
