How to set up a Creatix SAA7134, Hybrid Capture Device

[wstwoodside]

I've used the 'all uk' option - the import epg only takes a few seconds.
the new bda set up is:
[Creatix SAA7134, Hybrid Capture Device]
SUPPORTS_FM_RADIO=1
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Creatix BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Creatix BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
I've also tried to set it up as an analog receiver (adding to direct.ini).
gbpvr does not show any analogue channels (seems to default to digital) but 'tuning assistant' does show channels with good signals.
Scans attached
Thanks for your continued help

You forgot to attach the files...

I forgot to zip them...:eek:
I assume the .log means in the log folder?
2 files are attached

Thanks

Its not entirely clear from your post, but digital channels are ok now?

I'm pretty sure this device will not be useable for analog in GB-PVR. It lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder.

Digital still not working - same result, no channels found
Analog gives a result with tuning assistant application - lots of channels, good pictures - no channels or pictures with gbpvr
(seems that gbpvr defaults to digital only with no reference/ availability to analog in gbpvr menu).

The logs you attached above dont show an attempt to scan for channels.

Start the config app, view your capture source settings, then hit the 'map digital channels to epg channels' button to initiate a scan. When it completes post you config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log files.

I've gone to view and done a rescan
The logs which are attached.

It again reported:
No channels found... after scanning 1 of 57 etc. (strength 0 quality 0 etc)

I know the card still works with PowerCinema and will find and display channels with Tuning Assistant.

Thanks for your continued support...

There seems to be something funny going on with your decoders, causeing two video decoders and two video renderers to be used at the same time.

I'd try uninstalling those old Cyberlink decoders you've got, then install the dscaler decoders from: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Dsca...ilters.htm

Thanks but I'm unsure specifically what drivers need to be uninstalled.
Secondly where do I find them so I can uninstall them please?
I have looked at Administrative tools-> computer management -> device manager-> sound video... -> video codecs but can't see anything which relates to thee names you have highlighted

You can download a tool like http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm, and use it to remove the Cyberlink decoders.
