Black Gold Quad Tuner with Analogue Support

[systemshark]

Morning Sub,

I've just upgraded to a blackGold BT3595 Tuner https://www.btowstore.com/epages/BT3159....ts/BGT3595

which means I have a single PCI Express card, 2 x DVB T and 2 x DVB S Tuners. This card also features support for analague input. I have replaced a PVR350 card with one of these....

It's deteched it in NPVR and shown me four tuners, but I'm not able to configure the analague support.

I know NPVR should autodetect but I'm not sure how to configure for the analogue support ? Are you able to help ?

Thanks

have you installed WinTV7 to get the need analog multiplexor? there are notes about this in the NPVR sticky linked in my sig

Not until hcw_mcmpeg2mux.ax is installed. (or more if no hardware mpeg compression ISTR).

Question please - looking at the picture - is there only one socket for both DVB-T and analogue terrestrial signals? I currently use an aerial for dvb-t and RF analogue from a Sky box.

Thanks Johnsonx42 for the info

I've loaded SoftPVR from WinTV7 and

Here is the entry for the AnalogDevices.XML file for a Black Gold BT3595

<Device filter="7231 BDA Analog Capture">
<Name>BlackGold BT3595</Name>
<Type>SOFT_ENCODE</Type>
</Device>

I've got it reporting now inside NPVR.... I'll test the recording over the next few days.....

systemshark would you help me to document things like this about installing and configuring devices on the new wiki? In the walkthrough's?

But be aware that the software encoder settings in NPVR at the moment is fixed at a very low quality so you won't get superb picture until Sub has fixed it.

There is a second port for Svideo and Component Signals. using a 8 pin plug and a break out lead, I'm going to integration the Skt STB via the svideo connector.

However My Sky and Freeview are provided by same cable so I'm going to cover both bases and see what happens.

Hi Steeb,


Documenting things like this ? Never !

Yes of course.... I'm going to have to documentment it to send it to my bother as he's running an identical machine....

I'll send it over.

Hi sub.

Any chance I might be able to press you into increasing the recording quality ?
