Hey, everyone ---- perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can solve this problem...
I just purchased an brand new, old stock Avermedia M791-B still sealed in it's box for like $8 on ebay --- couldn't pass that up
A couple questions ----
I had an old Avermedia M791-B installed in a Windows Media Center Box, and I was able to get FM radio on this card.
Why can I not get FM radio on this card via the NextPvr application --- I can get FM radio on a Mygica hybrid dongle, but not this card -- (I did modify the "Analog.xml" file as per instructions on this forum) --- I scan the tuner, and it comes up with a few analog signals (nothing on those NTSC signals, but that's to be expected) -- but no FM channels were tuned.
I then tried to manually enter the frequency under the 'Add FM" button --- no luck, just static. I then tried to import the stations the Mygica hybrid dongle picked up, no luck, just more static.
Is there a way to get the FM radio to work on this card ?
Second, I know this card has 'hardware MPEG2 encoding' ---that's why I picked this card up, hoping to relieve some of the encoding burden on the CPU (there are 5 other tuners on this box) ---- but does the card only hardware encode the analog signals, or does it also hardware encode the digital ATSC signals as well ?
Thank you for your help in advance ---
