avermedia hybrid volar max analog detection support

[bspurloc]

I am testing out an avermedia hybrid volar max USB, gb pvr doesn't find this tuner when searched in analog mode am I missing something?

digital mode it finds it.
I know the tuner works fine in analog mode as I can use it with honestech and home theater etc finding all the analog channels.
Any tricks or changes to get gbpvr to see it in analog mode or am I missing a setting in gbpvr because its a hybrid tuner?
thanks

my filtercheck file. yes I do have a bt878 card sitting in this test machine also. not trying to get that to work with gbpvr as I know thats not going to happen

Sorry, the analog side of this device wont work with GBPVR. It lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder.

ah ok! darn! I was just looking through how everyone else had things resolved from sending up there filterchecks and was answering my own question until i noticed my filtercheck had no encoder entry to fill in that line for the direct.ini! blah!! ok thanks!

Just a curious question... why does it work on the digital side? if there is no encoder?
I guess the answer is because you don't have to encode digital to digital... Just a lack of misunderstanding how the video feed is sent out... the digital feed is sent out as an mpeg stream where the analog needs to be encoding to one?

Thanks for the quick response

Correct. The digital stream has already been encoded by the broadcaster, so its just a matter of dumping it to disk.
