LeadTek WinFast HDTV200 H tuner help

[TheBosZ]

I saw a good deal on this tuner at Newegg for its QAM and ATSC tuner (I don't care about the analog because I have a PVR-250 and a PVR-500).

I thought I'd be okay because BDA.ini has a couple of entries for like-named devices. But the config doesn't see it.

I've ran filtercheck and I've attached my output.

Can someone help me out?

Try:

Code:

[WinFast HDTV200 H]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast HDTV200 H BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast HDTV200 H BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[WinFast HDTV200 H (QAM)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast HDTV200 H BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast HDTV200 H BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

I have no idea if the QAM one will work. This will attempt to tune QAM as if the device were a Hauppauge device, which often works.

Thanks!

I'm scanning channels now and it's finding plenty (QAM).

Good, glad to hear it.

Sub, if you see this post it looks like those entries should be good for your official bda.ini.

I have the memory of swiss cheese, but if someone bumps this thread late next week (when I'm back in NZ), I'll add it to the master file.

Thanks - added.

I'd like to add a confirmation. This works great. GBPVR found about 3 times the number of channels that were found by the old default software that came with the card.

I'm doing clearQAM over cable.

Thanks a bunch.
