Hi there,
My predominant usage of the device is TV via analogue cable, and now more via Windows XP rather than Linux.
I picked up the hint somewhere to use DScaler, and it does work generally, but I have the impression the quality of the video is not so great (seemed better on Linux/tvtime).
I have taken a look at open source MediaPortal (team-mediaportal.com), which seems to have quite a polished surface and also supports various remote controls.
I have trouble getting MediaPortal to work with analogue. While it seems to recognise the device as DVB-T BDA 2885 TVTuner (poor reception in my area so cannot confirm actual working) and DVB-C BDA 2885 TVTuner (finds channels, but signal scrambled as I have not subscribed, so again no full verification possible), it also detect an analogue device called Analog WDM 2885 TVTuner. However, scanning for channels produces no results.
Any chance one can tell by the device tag "WDM 2885" that the software is actually trying to address the device with the right/sundtek driver?
Any reasons why inherently MediaPortal should not work with this tuner?
On remote control: MediaPortal seems to offer some configurable remote support, e.g. "Direct Input" (zillions of mapping questions), USBUIRT, WINLIRC
Any idea if and how the Sundtek remote can be made to look like one of those?
Any other suggestions (other than Windows Media Center) of decent TV viewing software that should work, and ideally also supports remote control functions?
Thanks much.
