I'm using a VideoMate Compro T300 card (which is a DVB-T card using BDA drivers).
I've gotten to the point in configuring Sources where you map broadcast channels to the EPG channels. It scans through 51 channels, and finds nothing.
I'm in Australia, if this helps.
My sanity checks: I've used graphedit, as I've seen suggested, and my BDA.ini looks accurate. If I select a tuner card in the BDA list *other* than T300 (for example, T200) I get a nasty error about being unable to find the tuner card - so this leads me to believe that I've got the right card selected, and BDA.ini is fine.
A friend of mine uses SageTV at home, and I copied his xmltv.xml file just to set up my EPG channel listing (I figure I'll sort out xmltv later once this problem has been ironed out. For now, all I need is the channel info, doesnt matter if the programme listing is a little out of date).
Also, I've updated my tuner card driver just yesterday to the latest one available (something.something.something.23 [my card shipped with x.x.x.22])
Also, I've installed the software that shipped with my card, and -that- detects the digital channels no problem at all (so, it's no antenna problem).
Also, I'm using Windows XP media centre edition 2005. However, I assure you I'm not running the "media centre" program before GBPVR, so I dont *think* that's the problem. Besides, if that were the problem, I guess the software that came with the tuner card wouldnt work either - and that works fine.
Not sure what other information to include in this post, I hope someone out there is able to help me (and since GBPVR is made by a crew in new zealand, I'm thinking there should be pretty good support for aussie reception)
