Compro DVB-T300 No LiveTV 1st run & Recording folder empty

[Tony_UK]

Hi,

I am a GB-PVR v1.2.13 newbie and this is my first post. I am having a couple of problems with a Compro DVB-T300 installed under Windows2000 SP4. I had some initial problems setting the card up as I had removed the ComproDTV3 application and MuxChecker reported NO MULTIPLEXER FILTERS WHERE FOUND ON YOUR MACHINE. I re-installed ComproDTV3 and I still get the "NO MUX" message but I did successfully scan and detect all UK DVB-T channels. GB-PVR also pulls EPG info off all channels and I can set up recording.

1) When I start PVRX2 the first time after booting the machine I cannot watch LiveTV, the screen goes black and I get "No Signal detected" (the channel has a strong strong signal). If I start then stop the ComproDTV3 application then start PVRX2 LiveTV works. I have attached PVRX2StartStop log.

2) When I schedule a recording or create a manual recording a folder is created in the target Recording folder but it is empty (no files therein). I saw previous post for this problem and have removed/redefined/rescanned in config but still no joy. I have attached PVRX2Recording log.

Machine spec ASUS M2NPV-VM, On-board NVIDIA GeForce 6, Athlon64 3800+, 1GB RAM, 500GB Hardrive. ComproTech driver version 1.3.1.24.

Hi,

The ComproDTV software is probably not installig a mux filter (or has its own proprietary one). You can download a mux from http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=25630. I'd recommend the Cyberlink v5.0.0.1307 mux.

2) When I schedule a recording or create a manual recording a folder is created in the target Recording folder but it is empty (no files therein). I saw previous post for this problem and have removed/redefined/rescanned in config but still no joy. I have attached PVRX2Recording log.

The lack of file is caused by having no mux available. Once you have a mux then you should get a file.

1) When I start PVRX2 the first time after booting the machine I cannot watch LiveTV, the screen goes black and I get "No Signal detected" (the channel has a strong strong signal). If I start then stop the ComproDTV3 application then start PVRX2 LiveTV works. I have attached PVRX2StartStop log.

Sorry, I'm not sure why that would be. May be this card needs some special, non-standard, initialisation. I'm not sure what that would be though.

The recording problem is now resolved. Thank you!
