WinFast PxDVR3200 H

[googly]

Hey fellas,

I have been looking around for a free media centre software. Came across - Media Portal - but it wouldnt install/work properly - so threw that away. Then I found this gb-pvr - which installed nicely - so I need to do is set it up.

Unfortunately it doesnt recognised my tv-tuner card - Winfast DVR3200 H - it has PCI-e interface and mpeg2 Hardware encoding.

System setup:
Win XP SP2
AMD LE1600
1gig RAM
500G HDD x 2
onboard graphics..NVIDIA GeForce6100 - I think
WinFast PxDVR3200 H - tv tuner.

so what do i do need to do , to get this card to work with gb-pvr. I am currently at work, so once I get home, I can give more information.
Is the CPU good enough - or should I get AMDx2 - 4800+ or something like that..if I do..do I need to reinstall the XP as well?

I am actually considering getting:
CPU/Processor AMD AM2 Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 4850e (2.5GHz/45w) - $99AUD

Is it worth it? Main question though regards to tv-tuner and how to setup with Gb-pvr.

IT work perfectly with LEadtek's software - no issues at all.

The digital side of this device is probably easier to get going than the analog side.

Run the filtercheck.exe from the gbpvr directory, then zip and attach the filtercheck.log and I'll take a look.

i am not too fussed about analog - so thats ok. Also this comes with a remote - will it work with gb-pvr?

I have attached as you requested.

Thanks

Try adding this to you bda.ini file:

[Leadtek WinFast PxDVR3200 H]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=WinFast PxDVR3200 H BDA Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=WinFast PxDVR3200 H TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Yep, it works thanks!

digital works fine and the tuning assistant works
but when I tune to analog channels there is no picture
and gbpvr reverts back to the program guide after a few seconds

[sub]

Try using that analog tuner, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

[billsrepairs]

here are the logs. I name the channels "7 an","9 an", "2 an", "10 an"

[sub]

I think you've got your device number set incorrectly on this capture source. It needs to be set to device #1. You've got it set to device #2.

[billsrepairs]

changeing to device 1 didn' help but i think the error is different
from the PVRX2.exe.log
