Hi everyone,
Someone on AVForums recommended GBPVR so here I am.
Downloaded the newest version, but it is failing to detect my TV Tuner, a Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro 4000i with dual tuners.
System Specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 64bit
Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4ghz
Asus P5E HDMI Mother Board
4Gb RAM
Gainward ATI Radeon 4850 512Mb
Pinnacle's "beta" drivers for Vista 64 do not work, and I have it running currently with Microsoft's own drivers. The card currently works in DVBViewer with hd channels perfectly fine, and works in Vista Media Centre (No hd channels).
I had previously used Media Portal, which also failed to detect the card.
Now as far as I am aware, these are BDA drivers.
I cannot see the card in the dropdown list in the Config, and if I tick the detect tuners in system, it says there is nothing there.
A friend of mine has more or less the same system and TV tuner but under Vista Ultimate 32bit, and the config also fails to detect the card, but again it works fine in DVBViewer and VMC.
Are the drivers not up to scratch or could it simply be down to the card being active elsewhere in the system?
Please let me know what files you'd like me to attach so someone can analyse the problem.
Many Thanks
