VistaView Saber 2020 ?

Do I need to add it to direct.ini

Yes, I'd say so.

and if so, how

There is a few posts that have discussed it in the past, but the general idea is that you need to copy the [ViXS PureTV] section to a new section called [VistaView Saber 2020], then use GraphEdit (google for it) to find the correct names for this card.

If this is a bit too much for you, I'm happy to try to help you through the process. If you could post screenshots of GraphEdit showing the filters for this card, it would go a long way to achieving this.

Are these what you're looking for? These items were found under Video Capture Sources.

You'll need to exand all the 'WDM Streaming XXxxxx" categories and insert all the filters that you think might be part of this device. There will a TV Tuner, Capture device, Encoder device, TV Audio, Crossbar and maybe some others... Then take a screen shot and post it.

How bout this?

Ok that gives the overview, which gets us half way there, but we'll need to see the pin names for all the "7162" filters listed above. Just do the "0" ones.

Is this what we need?

yes, please hold.

Sorry, my internet went down for a while. Try adding the following to direct.ini, then create a capture source in GB-PVR and select this device.

Damn, I just spent forever creating that ini section for mine which arrived today - I was hoping to be able to contribute it. I already copied it for the second card (device #1) and changed all the 0s to 1s. Does that seem right? I added FM radio support to the 0 device, but I haven't gotten FM to work yet.

I set up two capture sources, one for device 0 and one for device 1. Both are internal tuner since I just have one analog cable attached. However, for both I had to set the board as capture device #1 because if I select #2 for device 1 it says the drivers aren't installed. With this setup tuner 0 seems to work but the other gets static. Any ideas?

What's the best way to do the EPG data? I'm using analog on both tuners, so it's the same data. According to some other posts it seems like I have to set up the zap2it settings on both - is that right? It seems to resolve that they're the same.

lol - that'll always happen.

I set up two capture sources, one for device 0 and one for device 1. Both are internal tuner since I just have one analog cable attached. However, for both I had to set the board as capture device #1 because if I select #2 for device 1 it says the drivers aren't installed. With this setup tuner 0 seems to work but the other gets static. Any ideas?

Since they changed the name for each tuner (never seen that before!), then they'll both need to be setup as device #1.

What's the best way to do the EPG data? I'm using analog on both tuners, so it's the same data. But it seems like I have to set up the zap2it settings on both - is that right? It seems to resolve that they're the same.

Set them both up separately, and do the initial 'Update EPG' for each. When the automated EPG updates occur it'll only do the update once since they both using the same zap2it account.
