Twinhan Magicbox Pro

Managed to run all of those successfully, but still no channels found during scan. Shame.

Does ScanChannelsBDA work now?

If not, do you perhaps have something running in the background which is using the card's driver, such as the original software?

Have you double-checked that you are using the BDA drivers from the Twinhan site?

[gregsmith]

ScanChannelsBDA outputs the same log.

Definitely have no other software running that would use the card.

BDA drivers were installed along with TwinhanDTV 2.63 (latest).

Thankyou for your ongoing support with this problem.

Look in GraphEdit under "BDA Receiver Component" and "BDA Source Filters":


On your system, what name(s) appear under those two categories?

Now, double-click on them to put them into the main window. They should be able to connect together, similar to this:


What are the names of the pins that will connect?

Now, try and add the "Microsoft DVBT Network Provider". The "Antenna Out" pin of that should connect to the input on the first filter from your device, as follows:


If that is successful then next you should be able to connect the output from the second of the TV card filters, and the "BDA MPEG2 Transport Information Filter". At this point, you should see that the "MPEG-2 Demultiplexer" is automatically added. Does that happen?

Just had a chance to have a quick look. Under BDA Reciever Component there's just the BDA MPE Filter and the BDA Slip De-Framer
BDA source filters doesn't have a plus to expand so I'm guessing there isn't any!

I guess this means the end of the road. I tried the mediaportal config and it was recognised as a Pinnacle PCTV 310e / MagicBox Pro. I'm sure that MP was working with my card before but doesn't find any channels anymore. Probably something to do with the filters I've installed with all the other PVR programs I've tried. Maybe this is why GBPVR isn't working (although they're definitely not running in the background AFAIK). Maybe there's some info on Pinnacle PCTV 310e that I can use to get my Magicbox working with GBPVR?

http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...light=310e - just found this. I think we've tried these settings. Does this mean it should be working and it's probably something other than bda.ini?

I'll have a check for sure in the morning. Thanks again.

That's strange.

Under which section do the filters (that you identified earlier on) appear?

[gregsmith]

I'm sorry, just checked again and my card hadn't initialised or something. I reconnected it and it showed up under the appropriate sections in graphedit. There is however only the inputs and outputs that I mentioned earlier in the thread when I inserted them. I tried connecting the output(output1) from 'DTV-DVB m9207 digital capture' to the input on 'DTV-DVB USB Hybrid Digital' (this one doesn't have an output on the diagram, just input0). It said:

'the filters cannot agree on a connection. Verify type compatibility of input pin and output pin. No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection. (Return code: 0x80040217)

[Chris.Day]

Try:
"Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" to "DTV-DVB M9207 Digital Capture"
then:
"DTV-DVB M9207 Digital Capture" to "MPEG2 Demultiplexer"

[gregsmith]

the dvbt network provider to the input caused the same error message. The output to the demultiplexer connected fine.
