No Radio ?

[NthrnNYker]

Hey, everyone ---- perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can solve this problem...

I just purchased an brand new, old stock Avermedia M791-B still sealed in it's box for like $8 on ebay --- couldn't pass that up

A couple questions ----

I had an old Avermedia M791-B installed in a Windows Media Center Box, and I was able to get FM radio on this card.

Why can I not get FM radio on this card via the NextPvr application --- I can get FM radio on a Mygica hybrid dongle, but not this card -- (I did modify the "Analog.xml" file as per instructions on this forum) --- I scan the tuner, and it comes up with a few analog signals (nothing on those NTSC signals, but that's to be expected) -- but no FM channels were tuned.

I then tried to manually enter the frequency under the 'Add FM" button --- no luck, just static. I then tried to import the stations the Mygica hybrid dongle picked up, no luck, just more static.

Is there a way to get the FM radio to work on this card ?

Second, I know this card has 'hardware MPEG2 encoding' ---that's why I picked this card up, hoping to relieve some of the encoding burden on the CPU (there are 5 other tuners on this box) ---- but does the card only hardware encode the analog signals, or does it also hardware encode the digital ATSC signals as well ?


Thank you for your help in advance ---

You have to manually add FM channels with the 'Add FM'. It doesn't attempt to scan for radio channels. If you've already done that, but cant hear a station, try listing to the station, then post the logs and I'll see if anything stands out.

The device's hardware encoder is only for it's analog signals, but...the digital ATSC channels are already encoded. The broadcaster does that prior to transmission. ie, you don't need to encode the digital channels.

"You have to manually add FM channels with the 'Add FM'. "

I did indeed attempt to add FM channels with the "Add FM" buttons, and here (after I cleaned out all the old logs) is the "Nrecord.log" results ---

Also included the "FilterCheck.log" file which was used to modify the included "analog.xml" file.

Can you make heads or tails of why I cannot receive FM on this card ?
