Have had this single tuner DVB card for some years. Worked fine until digital switch over. DSO has now completed in our area (Devon, UK) - we have no analogue TV signal at all.
DSO created some problems on a set top box whereby the channels all moved around on rescan so that ITV1 (normally 3, now 180-something) - but this problem is with this card. GBPVR also now needs to scan for "All channels", not just "Southern, Stockland Hill" as I did before. I'm guessing the mappings shifted around some. Not a problem.
GBPVR picks it up, as it's always done.
Scanning is slow, and it does show good strength and quality signals (80,100) at the numbers I'd expect, so it IS receiving signal and another tuner in the same machine is working fine. (Huappuage DT-2 twin)
However, no ffmpeg icons appear in the taskbar like with the Huappuage and I see no mini picture of channels. What it does find is the following, see pic.
I've tried;
Latest drivers. (Vista-64 so the original drivers won't work).
Swapping aerial leads.
Wiping gbpvr and reinstalling.
Wiping all traces of previous avermedia drivers and reinstalling.
Anyone seen anything like this and/or knows a cure? I'm thinking the card is toast and of no future value.
(BTW, I put this old avermedia in to replace an almost-as-old Huappuage single tuner wintv card which conflicted with the DT twin. They ran fine together for about a year then started conflicting. No amount of faffage sorted it and I suspect the latest Huappuage drives are deeply unhappy support new and old hardware on the same box.)
