Does NextPVR work with ATI TV Wonder?

[buddyosher]

I have searched all around and cannot find any information if the ATI TV Wonder works with NextPVR or not. Does anyone know?

Here is my ANALOGDEVICES.XML file addition (to be safe, I added both for software and hardware)

For analog or CableCard?

There are many similar models. It's pretty clear that you intend to tune analog cable channels, but your log shows only digital devices being detected. Here's an NPVR log segment from a member who was using a Diamond ATI TV Wonder HD750 USB tuner (and yes it works, but I wonder why your devices are described so differently):

Code:

<Device oid="20" identifier="ATI BDA Digital Tuner:1">
  </Device>
  <Device oid="21" identifier="ATI BDA Digital Tuner:1">
  </Device>
  <Device oid="22" identifier="ATI CQAM Digital Tuner:1">
  </Device>
  <Device oid="23" identifier="ATI DVBT Digital Tuner:1">
  </Device>
  <Device oid="24" identifier="ATI AVStream Analog Capture:1">

The device "ATI AVStream Analog Capture" seems to be in the AnalogDevices.xml file by default (it's in mine even though I've never used any analog device with NPVR). There was an older thread involving a PCIe version of the HD750, and senior member mike49 uses an ATI Theater 650Pro PCIe.

[Edit] Martin asked exactly the right question since this is appears to be an ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner. Does your provider still have analog channels? Are you running Vista or Windows 7?
