FusionHDTV Dual Digital4 config

[Richard09]

I have bought a system comprising a PC with Vista Home Premium and 3000 GB of hard disk space. It includes a FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital4 for receiving free to air television in Canberra, Australia.

The expectation was that I would be able to watch or record shows, strip them of unwanted parts and replay them with subtitles (for the hearing impaired members of the family).

Microsoft Media Centre does not handle subtitles for this region.

At present I use the DViCO FusionHDTV software that came with tuner board for viewing and recording live TV. It is OK but has some deficiencies with subtitles on replay.

I have had limited success with Comskip and VideoRedo in processing the transport files from FusionHDTV software.

I am hoping the GBPVR will provide an alternative that will provide all the functionality I need, including processing subtitles. I have downloaded and installed the current version of GBPVR, but have been unable to configure the Tuner card.

In Vista the two tuners are each identified as FusionHDTV USB, Avstream Capture (DBVT DUAL).

In GBPVR Configuration, the program identifies the Capture source as Dvico Fusion Dual Digital USB, when the check box ‘Only show devices detected in this machine’ is ticked.
Trying to populate the list of channels gave the error message “GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly and not already in use”. (I had closed all Divco software.)


I referred to the GBPVR Documentation: Config – Define HDTVSource and found the following message:

“Troubleshooting tip: if no channel found, close config file, run ReRegisterFilters, (Start→All Programs→GBPVR) then try again. Sometimes installing and registering mpv (video)and mpa (audio) decoders free from free-codecs.com helps. If still nothing, do a scan and check your config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log files. If no clue after that, head over to support forum, zip and attach those files, somebody will help.”

I have run the ReGegisterFilters bat. I did not attempt the mpv and mpa install because I did not know what it meant. I will attached the two log files in zipped form if I can.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you'll want to run Filtercheck (from the gbpvr directory) and post that output. sub or someone will then be able to tell you the entry that needs to be made in your bda.ini file to support that tuner device.

Sorry, but I'm fairly sure GB-PVR doesnt handle the Australian subtitles.

[Richard09]

Thanks for that. I could not see what was missing from the filtercheck log, but have attached a copy for expert attention. It seems to be oh so close to working.

Thanks

You forgot to attach the file (you'll need to zip it).

Did you see my post above.

[Richard09]

That's bad news, Sub, but I have come so far I may as well get it working if I can and check it out.

[Richard09]

It was so small I did not think it needed zipping. Here it is.

What did you add to bda.ini?

I'm not at home with my files, so cant check the format to tell you exactly what you need to add, but I'll see if there is any obvious problem in you bda.ini section.

[Richard09]

I did not add anything to the bda.ini. I guess GB-pvr would have been looking at the entry Dvico Fusion Dual Digital USB, since that is what was offered and selected on the form during the configuration. The whole bda.ini is attached.

It looks like that entry should work, but only for the first tuner. (the second tuner will require a new entry since it uses different names)

Try doing scan on that capture source you setup, then zip and attach the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.
