I've just bought one of these cards and just installed it.

Ran a quick channel scan in MC16 and worked straight off the bat for DVB-T - finding all UK freeview channels that my TV does (non HD of course). Seems to work OK so far, although I've only had about 10 minutes to 'play' with it.

Will need to either download something like mediaportal or use 7MC for the sat tuner of course. I have 2 LNB cables ready to put in it! I can't test the DVB-C tuner as I haven't got cable (and I think it's all encrypted by Virgin in the UK anyway).

It would be 'nice' if the DVB-T2 and DVB-S/S2 would work in MC.  ::)

How about it Yaobing? I would be delighted to beta test anything for you.......  ;D

Found these lines in the Log when channel scanning:

Code: [Select]
0119388: 3364: TV: CMPEG2SectionsAndTablesParser::ParseServiceDescriptor:   TSID 16521 SID 17540: PMT PID 6600 BBC - BBC One HD (running)
0119388: 3364: TV: CMPEG2SectionsAndTablesParser::ParseServiceDescriptor:   TSID 16521 SID 17609: PMT PID 200 ITV - ITV1 HD (running)
0119388: 3364: TV: CMPEG2SectionsAndTablesParser::ParseServiceDescriptor:   TSID 16521 SID 17664: PMT PID 300 CHANNEL FOUR - Channel 4 HD (running)
0119388: 3364: TV: CMPEG2SectionsAndTablesParser::ParseServiceDescriptor:   TSID 16521 SID 17472: PMT PID 100 BBC - BBC HD (running)

The HD channels are DVB-T2. I presume the graph building isn't set up for HD.
So close and yet so far!

I have been searching for info about dealing with DVB-T2 channels in Windows bda programming, but came up empty handed.  The only thing I have found was some saying at a forum that the device driver should make DVB-T2 appear to be DVB-T.  That makes a lot of sense, but I wonder if that is really done.
