Help with Asus My Cinema PHC3-100

[tfrasc]

Greetings,

I purchased a dual tuner card (analog/digital) with what I believe has a ViXS chipset for capture capabilities. I have been trying to configure the card based off of the Nvidia DualTV w/o luck.

I'm not too concerned about the digital side but I would really love to get the analog tuner and capture working. The card is recognized through config, but LiveTV fails to function in pxr2. From what I have gathered from the logs, it appears that the output pin isn't connecting properly but I'm pretty much a noob here. Any help would be greatly appreciated - attaching FilterCheck.log along with logs directory.

Here's my section from direct.ini:

I'm not too concerned about the digital side but I would really love to get the analog tuner and capture working.

Unfortunately the digital side is the one that is more likely to work. Analog will only work if its sufficently similar to how Hauppauge have done things. Reset the logging level back to 'debug', then reproduce the problem and attach the logs again, and I'll see if there is anything obvious going wrong.

Ok, attaching logs with Debug level...

What do you have the 'deinterlacing' setting set to on the Misc tab? It should be 'encoder pass through'.

[tfrasc]

I had it set to 'none'. I just tried 'encoder pass through' but that didn't work.

Re-posting logs after deinterlace setting to 'encoder pass through...'

Still no luck... fresh logs attached.

Those logs dont show any attempt to use the card. It shows a failure starting live tv because the recording service wasnt running.

Sorry, I'm an idiot - started service again. Hopefully these logs are better.
