Kworld QAM tuner support

[brianw]

I just installed NPVR and it seems there's no QAM support for my Kworld qam tuner. Too bad for me since I only use QAM. It's an older device, I believe the name is Kworld 340u. For what it's worth, it did work with GB PVR.

Is there any kind of custom configuration I can try, or is it just not supported at all? Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh yeah, I should include more information. Under 'device' it just says Type: ATSC, Device: BDA 2870 TVTuner, Present: Yes, Enabled: Yes, Channels: 0. When I highlight it and click Device Setup, it says "1" to the right of the device name, and then Type: ATSC, and Enabled is checked. I've heard that this "1" might stand for QAM, so that may or may not be good, but when I perform a scan with "all frequencies", it just comes up blank and nothing happens. It says scan completed and no channels have shown up or anything else. That's about it. Thanks in advance.

Can you view the Devices page, then post your npvr.log?

Thanks a lot for the reply. I think it says in the log that I need to install Direct 3DX9. I have DirectX 9.0 but I guess that's different. I'll install that later today when I'm home again, but I'm not sure if that effects the part of the log you'll be looking at, so I guess here it is.

Thanks again for replying.

I've added QAM support for this device for the next release. My build is no longer compatible with 1.5.33, so I cant supply it as a patch - sorry.

Ok, thanks a lot. I'll make sure to keep an eye out for the next release when it's available.
