Compro T200 - Channel Tuning Information not known

[jonmck]

Can you point o where I can figure out how to use grpahedit!

For anyone trying to get the T200 to work, I needed to edit the existing entry in bda.ini from

FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate T200 BDA DVBT Tuner/DVB-T Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate T200 BDA Digital Capture/DVB Capture

to

FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate BDA DVBT Tuner/DVB-T Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate BDA Digital Capture/DVB Capture

which is what GraphEdit reported for my card using the latest drivers.

It now finds the card when clicking Map Digital Channels to EPG Channels and is currently scanning and finding channels

I had to change mine to almost the same

FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate BDA Digital Capture

was all I needed!

Geez, I wish they'd get consistent with the naming of their drivers. So far we've seen three different naming for their drivers. This means people have a 1/3 chance of it working with GB-PVR.

For the good of your fellow VideoMate users (and yourselves), maybe you guys should email Compro and ask them to stop changing them...

I am having the same trouble - I have a T200 and can only get it to work with the GBPVR set to use the T300. Looks like I need to edit the config file for the T200 - Do you get the correct string from the windows hardware manager? It also seems that the hardware capture for the S-video/Composite inputs uses a different driver. I assume this can be set up as a separate capture source if I edit the ini file to show an entry for the relevent driver name? I will have a play later and post my findings but any help appreciated from other compro users.

The settings for Compro T200 in bda.ini are

FILTER_TUNER=VideoMate BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=VideoMate BDA Digital Capture

That works for me anyway

I will try it later - Did you get the broadcast EPG working with the T200 and the latest version. I tried showshifter with this card - it works great but I am getting failed recordings and 0kb recordings. Are you getting reliable recording from standby with your T200 and GBPVR?

If you are talking about the T200 software,EPG is useless - I have to let it load each channel every time I open it up.

I have not tried a recording from standby yet - when I do I'll try tio remember and post

I can't even get the the T200 to tune in - I just get a file select box asking me to tell it where the config is when I "press map EPG data". I have tried all the multiplexers in MISC even the cyberlink.

[jonmck]

Hmm - I had big problems too. I set the bda to be what I have above. When I open up config for the first time it never tunes in, but when I do it immediately after it works - I know not why.

As for multiplexers - the only way I could get it working perfectly was to use 4.0.2212 - open it with DSF manager,
select filter properties,
highlight MPEG2,
press apply then OK,
make sure that filter merit is set to normal,
hey presto it worked - but it took me about 2months to get to this stage where everything records perfectly every time.

I have attached DSF manager - that might help you along. It lets you see what muxers etc are on your machine. Make sure there is only one Cyberlink (the one above)...
