dvbtest fails on Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000

Hi,

just got my hands on a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000, and tryied to test it with dvbtest - to make sure i can get the best EPG right from YES.

running 'dvbtest --yes' gave me : 'Error initializing the DVB: -7ffbfde9'
complete log file avilable @ http://www.f2h.co.il/4772516693920

i've searched for some other tool which will be able to read something out of the dvb-s card, and found one called 'Transedit MCC', it managed to get the channel list - but nothing more (it is not a freeware, and the freeware version of it, is limited to getting the channel list only) - so i guess the card is functioning.

does someone ever reported a successful use of this model? i installed MEGAEpg on an XP box without MCE on it (no room for another PCI card on my MCE box).

thanks,

Your towel :)

Uncomment the line device=0

Uncomment the line device=0 in the dvbtest.ini file and change it to 1, i.e.:

device=1

This should work with HVR-4000. In order to use MegaEPG do the same (device=1) in the megaepg.ini file in the [dvb] section.

Thanks

works perfectly(although  i had to try device=2)

Thanks,

[update] for all those googlers, in megaepg ini file, you should update the device number under dvb ini section, i.e. add the following

[dvb]
device = X

where X is the number of your device (found while playing with dvb-test).
