Help With FusionHDTV7 Dual Express

[SuperDrew]

Hi, I am using gbpvr with a FusionHDTV7 Dual Express tuner card. I am totally new to this, so my apologies if it doesn't make sense.

I live in Korea, so am still using analog cable. The thing is that in gbpvr, the FusionHDTV7 Dual Express only shows up as a digital card. This doesn't really do me any good. I know that this card can pick up the analog stations, because when I use the bundled Dvico software, I can see the tv fine.

So, I read the information in the wiki about adding an unsupported capture card. Of course this doesn't really say anything about adding an analog card, so I had to wing it myself.

I added this information to the Direct.ini file:

[INDENT][Fusion HDTV7 Dual Express Tuner 1]
FILTER_CROSSBAR=FusionHDTV, Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=FusionHDTV, WDM Video Capture
FILTER_TV_TUNER=FusionHDTV, NTSC/ATSC WDM TvTuner1
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=FusionHDTV, TvAudio
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_TUNER_IN=Video Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_DECODER_OUT=Audio Decoder Out
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_AUDIO_OUT=Analog Audio
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_VIDEO_IN=Analog Video In
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Analog Audio In
PIN_CAPTURE_PREVIEW_AUDIO_OUT=Audio Out
PIN_CAPTURE_I2S_OUT=I2S
PIN_CAPTURE_656_OUT=656
PIN_ENCODER_I2S_IN=I2S
PIN_ENCODER_656_IN=656
PIN_ENCODER_OUT=MPEG
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input[/INDENT]

I found the filter information using the GraphEdit software recommended in the wiki article I mentioned before.

The thing is, it doesn't work. When I go into config, the config program recognizes the card as an analog card (I hit the checkbox that says 'Only show devices detected in this machine' and it stays there). But, when I go into the media center itself and try to enter 'Live TV', it is just a black screen with the channel information on the bottom.

So, I feel like I must almost have the correct information added to Direct.ini. Does anyone have any knowledge about what I might need to change to get this thing working? Thanks a lot!

Ah, nevermind. I see the card doesn't have the necessary MPEG-2 encoder. Oh well...

[sub]

Yeah, sorry - it only really supports analog cards, with hardware MPEG2 encoders, that hook up in a similar way to the Hauppauge cards.

[SuperDrew]

Yeah, I figured it out on my own. No worries, I will just have to upgrade to digital cable or buy a new card.
