Leadtek Winfast DTV1000 T

[FredZ]

Has anyone had any joy installing this thing, let alone getting it to work with MCE?

If so, how? For me the bundled installer seems to do more damage than good.

TIA

Hi
i am having the same problem, as the Winfast dtv software has been able to show me all the channels. as i go into mce i try and run the scan for services and it always return none available. also the channel doesnt work for me either. any suggestions would be appreciated.

I worked out that the installer was installing the TV2000 drivers, not DTV1000

So I installed the correct drivers. Now the card is recognised in MCE, but that's it. It does nothing.

Piece of crud, I think, and best blacklisted.

Seems to me Twinhan and DVICO DTV cards are the least painless to get going under MCE.

Amen to that, Go Dvico

Ive got 2 of these working in my machine.

Very fast channel scan and picks up all channels.

What version of MCE are you running.
If pre rollup 2 then you will need the modified psisdecd.dll with channel frequencies installed.
The same as most cards require.

If running Emerald it should scan straight up.

Search the forum for the info on the Arkays psisdecd.dll.

How can I tell if it's Emerald?

If you have not been on the Microsoft OEM site and downloaded "Emerald" or got it from elsewhere then you not using "Emerald".
I would recommend not using "Emerald"

The DTV1000 works perfectly in XPMCE and with "Emerald"

I run dual DTV1000's without a hassle.


Cheers

BRILLIANT!!! Many thanks, it works great after I upgraded to emerald.

Again, thanks for the heads up.
