Liar?

Heres a quick guide from the mediaportal forums, with a link to the drivers

I've managed to get this working...

1) Download the beta YAKUMO driver (which uses the same hardware as the Freecom) from here:

http://www.yakumo.de/service/?pid=555&aid=257&ag=23&back=1

2) Update your drivers in Windows Device Manager to these.

3) Reboot

4) Add the following code to the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml located in c:\Program files\Team MediaPortal

<capturecard commercialname="Freecom USB DVB-T" capturename="Digital TV Device Capture" devid="vid_14aa&pid_0221&mi_00">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="true" bda="true"></capabilities>
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"></interface>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"></filter>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="Digital TV Receiver" checkdevice="true"></filter>
<filter cat="capture" name="Digital TV Device Capture" checkdevice="true"></filter>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"></connection>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

5) Save the file

Sorted....

not a hack is it really, just drivers ;)
 
I only have two questions:-

1) How did you manage to get it free with your iMac?

2) Why do you want to install it in Windows?
 
free when you buy a 20" imac from PCW (UK)

why not install windows, i like both windows and mac.

But Bootcamp wont work on the iMac says need to update firmware, yet its uptodate

What version firmware do you have? The update required for bootcamp isn't available via software update.

I tried your solution that you posted and whilst windows detected and installed the miglia perfectly, when I tried to use it with media portal, I would either get a BSOD or a complete hard lock. The channel scan found 60 TV channels though.:confused:
 
On mac osx, the card will pick up no channels and reports the signal as 0% thats with the aeril provided, and a cable line direct into the house.

I know the cable line works as my tv can tune in channels from it, but mac cant tune in nothing at all.

will install windows tonight and see what happens.

Yeah I had the same problem with the supplied aerial, completely useless, but once I plugged it into the one in the loft, I got all the channels that my PVR can get, which I believe is all of them as well as the 4 HD ones.

As for the software version, a few people have reported having problems getting a signal if not running the latest version. Are you able to get a signal when using the TVMini in windows?
 
I have not tried it in windows yet, will install windows MCE2005 later!

My arial in the loft is not freeview so it won pickup e4 or anything like that as its just a standard ****** tv arial that gets 1 - 5.

But why it cant pull anything off a cable line is strange, i dnt understand that! but i know for a fact the version of software is the latest.

Might try my roof arial tomorrow! but still will only get stanrd channels the arial is crap!

It's definitely worth trying it. My loft aerial has been in there for nearly 30 years and gets 100% signal strength and all the digital channels:D

Nope not set for freeview, what does that involve? When I bought my first freeview box, I just plugged it in and it worked perfectly.

Yep, I get every single available channel:)
