Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI

[clydebuilt]

I have a Pinnacle Dual tuner card but cannot make it work in GB-PVR.

It works under the Pinnacle software but I do not know how to configure it in GB-PVR.

Device Manager reports it as :

Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Dual Common
Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Dual Tuner1
Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Dual Tuner2

Driver BdaPlgn.ax

Can you help??

You'll probably need to add a new section to the bda.ini file for this card. If you use the forum search feature to search for 'bda.ini GraphEdit', it'll give you all the details.

Thanks for the prompt reply Sub. I have downloaded Graphedit but can't find any instruction on what to do with it now!

Have tried it on recorded file but this does not seem to give me what I need. Can you direct me to further instructions?

Start GraphEdit, click the 'insert filtes' menu option, then expand the BDA categories.... then see http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...aptureCard

Well, that was an education!

Didn't understand a word of it but the following seems to be working for the Pinnacle Dual Tuner!

Thanks for all your help.

Awesome - good to hear you got it working.

You'd only need to add the one definition, then when you setup two capture sources which use this card, one set as device #1, the other as device #2. I'll add the following definition to the master file, so its probably worth updating yours to match.
