Leadtech WinFast HDTV Cinema Support

[lester]

Is there any possibility of future Leadtech WinFast HDTV Cinema Support? I downloaded the program because I was curious as to what everybody was saying and saw the screenshots, looks like an awesome program, just only has 1 drawback so far, I can only see 1 leadtech card listed in the setup menu. If this is the only one supported, it wont work with my Leadtech WinFast HDTV Cinema card, I am using OTA and I do like the web radio option, the program looks awesome compared to the one bundled with my card (ArcSoft Total Media). Hope there is a driver or something, let me know if someone has a driver or if there is one in the works. Thanks//LESTER

GB-PVR may be usable for digital ATSC channels on this device, but it wont be possible to use it for analog channels.

If thats fine with you, and you want to get ATSC channels going, then run the filtercheck.exe utility from the GB-PVR directory, then zip and attach the filtercheck.log.

Here is the filtercheck.log zipfile, All I would care about would be the ATSC anyway as the analog I pick up now is poor on most stations. Sorry for the long reply, did not have email notification turned on, is on now, Thanks for the help.

Try adding the following to your bda.ini file. After this you should be able to setup a BDA capture source, and it should find your card.

[Leadtek WinFast HDTV Cinema]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast HDTV Cinema BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast HDTV Cinema BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

That got the card detected, tried to set up an EPG, having trouble with that, am trying to use ct tv listings svc, but they dont have OTA ATSC data, So I will mess with that later. Will post back with new info.

I updated to 1.2.9, actually got the local channels scanned in, am still not getting anywere, am getting a NO SIGNAL DETECTED (actually the signal indicator and quality indicator are reading otherwise), am I doing something wrong? P.S. like the new version, great work. I just put together a new box and fresh install of all software today for this program.

Also, my old Total Media software package updated the EPG via the ATSC signal, does this program do that or am I missing something there?

Zip and post your logs after attempting to view a channel.

No. This has been discussed and the majority of North American users only get a few hours of listings that way so it was deemed not worth the effort. Regarding your earlier post about trying CT PVR listings: they have announced that they are shutting down. You may already have seen the post but, just in case...

The Total Media Application does indeed load up to about 4 days on some channels of EPG data, I do have an external digital box now and I only get a few hours on it, plus on the box you have to scan through the channels manually to get them, wish I could remember where I put my Total Media CD, it worked ok, but wasnt as slick as this app. Will try to get logs zipped and posted shortly.

You are extremely fortunate to get 4 days. The most I have heard of until now was about 12 hours.
