Hi,
I have an ADS Minihdtv usb
I would like to know if the software supports the use of this
video capture device, i have tried several configurations and
i cant seem to get any signal.
Please help.

Thanks.

To be honest, I've never heard of it.

If you run the filtercheck.exe utility from the gbpvr directory, then zip and attach the filtercheck.log that gets created, I'll see.

Ok,

here is the filtercheck log.

Thanks for checking into it

If you add the following to your bda.ini file, then you should be able to setup a digital capture source for receiving OTA ATSC channels. Analog channels wont be usable, since this device lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder.

[ADS minihdtv]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=PTV384 HDTV Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=PTV384 Digital Video
PIN_RECIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=Input0
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=Output1

Did you do the 'map digital channels to epg channels' step? When you did, did it find your channels during the channel scan?

[sylbern]

yes, i did the map digital channels but it did not find any. i have a zap2it account and tried updating the EPG but it gave me an error and it did not came up with any listings.

yes, i did the map digital channels but it did not find any.

Do the scan again then zip and attach the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

i have a zap2it account and tried updating the EPG but it gave me an error and it did not came up with any listings.

Did it give you the error when you hit the Update EPG button? If so, reproduce that and post those same logs mentioned above.

If the error was when you tried to view the tv guide or live tv, then I'm not surprised you have problems trying these if you havnt managed to setup any channels during the channel scan.

[sylbern]

Ok, here is the zip file with both logs, yes the error happened when i tried to update the EPG, no channels are shown at all.
Thanks so much for looking into this.

The scan looks like it happens correctly, without any errors, but the device never manages to lock onto a signal. Can you see channels in any other app?

What EPG Source did you select when you setup your capture source? It should be the 'SchedulesDirect' option. It looks like you've somehow managed to select the old 'Zap2it' EPG source.
