Freecom DVB-T crash when scanning for channels

[BigLarry]

Hi,

Got my freecom stick installed with the correct drivers (I think), but when I go to Map digital channels to EPG I get:

Error failed to locate configured BDA device.

It then crashes and I get:

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Which I hope enables someone to help me!

Fantastic software and getting the tv bit working would be the icing on the cake.

Thanks for reading,

Larry.

Can you zip and attach your logs?

[BigLarry]

It looks likes it's a problem with the findfilter by name.

In my system properties it shows the device as:

USB Digital - TV Receiver


now you can't copy and paste from system properties so it could be

USB Digital- TV Receiver etc etc

but i have tried all combinations in the bda.ini file

Thanks.

I don't have zip just rar and I can't upload them.

Will install winzip when i get home from work.

Can you run FilterCheck then attach the resulting FilterCheck.log: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=6

When you create your capture source, and tick the 'only show devices detected in this machine', does it list any devices?

From the look of the above, it should match the "Freecom DVB type3" device.

[BigLarry]

When I click only show available the only option I get is:

V-Gear MobiDTV (Which is the one I am trying to use)

If I select any other ie Freecom etc I still get the same error.

[BigLarry]

Altered BDA ini to be


[Freecom DVB]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=USB Digital-TV Receiver
FILTER_CAPTURE=Digital TV Device Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

And then I get a freecom option when I do show only available.

When I try to do the update It now tells me the device is already in use.

(Not sure if this helps unravel but think it may??)

Thanks

The log which I think this relates to is:
