V-stream Xpert DTV-DVBT PCI Tuner Card

[bille]

I cannot get GB-PVR wroking with this card.
The error message I get when clicking on "Digital Channel Mapping" in the configuration program is:

"GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use. (Reason: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device)"

Then when trying to use prog I keep on getting referred back to "Config" again as "no channels have been set up etc"

Any advice appreciated

Sounds like two problems:

"GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly, and not already in use. (Reason: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device)"

You either dont have BDA drivers installed for your device, or the drivers you've installed dont match the names specified in bda.ini, which were specified in the past by another user.

Actually which card did you choose from the list? I've just looked in bda.ini and cant see an entry for your card.

Then when trying to use prog I keep on getting referred back to "Config" again as "no channels have been set up etc"

After you get your BAD drivers working, you need to click the 'map digital channels to epg channels' button to correctly scan and setup channels. Without having your channels setup, you obviously can watch tv or schedule recordings.

[Kworld Xpert DTV - DVBT]

FILTER_CAPTURE=DigiGo DVBT 2388x Transport Stream Capture

I'm not familiar with either of these two devices, but other than the "Xpert" part of the name, is a "Kworld Xpert DTV" the same device as a "V-stream Xpert DTV-DVBT PCI". Are these even the same company?

Either way you probably need to add a new section to bda.ini that matches the names of your BDA drivers: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...+graphedit

I have this same card and the same problems.

I am new to this also and can get my card working with the sofware that came with it but I would like to use GB-PVR

What do I need to do?

Thanks

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach you config.exe-native.log file and I'll take a look.
