Bought an avermedia duet since it is such an inexpensive dual ATSC PCI-e tuner. I loaded the drivers on their CD and updated the BDA.ini with this:
[AverMedia Duet A188]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=AVerMedia 716x BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=AVerMedia 716x BDA Digital Capture ATSC
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
It was from this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...light=duet
The scan crashed because the device could not be found (or something like that).
I ran filtercheck (see the log attached) and it had different filters than the thread so I changed BDA to this:
[AverMedia Duet A188]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=AVerMedia 716x BDA ATSC DC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=AVerMedia 716x BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
Lo and behold I could scan but there were no channels found :eek:
I loaded everything on the avermedia CD thinking there was some middleware I missed, but still no luck. I tried using the avermedia SW and it successfully scanned and showed live TV.
Logs attached. Any ideas?
