2 Artec T14A USB Tuners-ASTC

threeply · 2006-12-05, 09:00 PM

Does anyone have 2 Artec 14A ATSC USB tuners configured with GB-PVR? Is this a supported configuration?

Assuming the drivers support it, then it should work.

How do I find out if the drivers support this kind of setup?

Thats the hard bit. There is usually no way to tell unless someone can confirm by actually trying it.

You could try emailing the manufacturer to ask.

The question I have is: Does GBPVR support 1 of these devices? I do not know if it has BDA drivers.

By the way sub--long time no see. Have the ATI guys continued to be kind to you since sending that first ATI 550 card and 800XT AIW a while ago? I lost touch with Mike there.

Thanks

Yes, it has BDA drivers.

Unfortunately last time I emailed him I got a response saying he was no longer working at ATI.

Your prompt response, as always, is appreciated. I have tried the Artec with BTV, and it generates some excellent results. I will try it soon with gbpvr. I just ordered another one from zipzoomfly.com in the US. If you put "ART12" in the coupon code spot, you can get one for $40 with free shipping in the Continental US. The code is good for $20 off.

Thanks again.

You'll need to add the following to bda.ini:

[ARTEC 14A HDTV-USB (ATSC)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=Digital TV Tuner Filter
FILTER_CAPTURE=Digital TV Capture Filter
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Thanks Sub..

Are you going to add this to the next version of te excellent gbpvr?

I pretty sure I can use both tuners, but its hard to tell which is which. In MCE, the setup recognizes both tuners but I haven't been able to record and watch at the same time. I've been bouncing between MCE, WatchHDTV, and GBPVR and so far GBPVR is the most feature rich but hardest to configure.
