PCI Analog AverTV Super 007 (M135A)

[SpawNerGR]

Hello all...

so i've got my Windows Seven 64-bit up 'n' running (legit), with all my hardware and software setup, but i can't see any TV anymore, because i dont have a driver for my card...

My TV Card model is:

PCI - Analog - AverTV Super 007 (M135A)

well the thing is, that i did tried all the drivers they give in their website "avermedia.com" both 32-bits + 64 bits and it seems only windows update can find a suitable driver, but when it updates, finds it and trying to play with Windows Media Center - AverTv - AVer Media Center or any other software there is, the sound is great, but the screen is grey...

Thinked to do a dual-boot, but wanna stuck with seven, and won't bother (only for a tv-card) switching to an earlier MS OS, don't wanna buy a different card yet (maybe in final version, they will do a driver for it) also googled Virtual Machines and people saying that a USB could emulate the hardware, but not the PCI's and i think the scenario is familiar, for the alternative people trying OS, like when i have a Linux distro and my hardware dont work, what solution do i have? Or With a Hackintosh the same question...


Any ideas-suggestions?

re

I found a solution on some russian blog. I am not good in russian, so it may be some missinterpretation... anyway, it worked for me:
Go to C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\AverTV\ and delete [user name].ini (make a backup in case...)
Start AverTV #New [user name].ini file will be generated
Close AverTV
Edit [user name].ini - just change lines like follows:

VIDEO_RENDERER=1
[AVerMedia M15H PCI Analog]
AP_VOLUME=100
Analog_TimeshiftParam_AudioBitRate=224
Analog_TimeshiftParam_AudioSampleRate=48000
Analog_TimeshiftParam_VideoBitRate=5000
Analog_TimeshiftParam_VideoSize=4
Brightness=128
BrightnessVMR=128
COUNTRY=380
ColorPeak=0
Composite_DefaultFormat=1
Composite_Format=SECAM
Contrast=68
ContrastVMR=68
EnableBrightness=1

Gain=144
OPEN_SUBTITLE=0
PREVIEW_DIGITAL_SOURCETYPE=1
PREVIEW_INPUT_SOURCE=2

REGION=
SVideo_DefaultFormat=1
SVideo_Format=SECAM_D
Sample_Rate=4
Saturation=64
SaturationVMR=64
Source_Resolution=64
TURN_ON_EQ=0

Save the file and start AverTV again.
After rescaning channels everything works perfectly.

sorry, but that fix did not work for me. i have an Avermedia Super 007 (M135) aswell.
i tried multiple ways to put these settings into the ini-file but nothing helped. the video stays grey. right now, i am writing a support-request to avermedia in the hope that they will tell me how to fix the problem properly.

 

[schwadorf]

I have the exact same problem with my Avermedia A700 Hybrid DVB-S card.

 

[32dave]

i have usb 2.0 tv tuner i had to install updated drivers for xp from honest tech site then usb audio driver that came with the box i don't know if this helps i know that they are different tuners but maybe that will help

I just got a reply from the AVerMedia-Support:

For your information, none of our devices are currently supported under Windows 7. As you know Windows 7 is still under testing state and it is not very stable. We advise you to kindly use the device under those system that have been tested and meant to work under. As for Windows 7 driver, we will let our engineers know and hope the driver will be available by the time Windows 7 has been officially released.

to me, it sounds like they were not even really working on a driver yet. kind of weird that there is no working driver yet eventhough there is some update under windows update that includes something from avermedia. (but that actually makes the device not work at all) so i guess we have to wait a little bit more unless somebody who knows how that stuff works programs some special driver to use the card properly.

I doubt that any one of them even boot their computer with Windows 7...
"..it is not very stable.." ???, it's even more stable than final releases.

Worked perfectly on my desktop system but failed to work on my Compaq Preserio CQ45 with no selection activity on the boot options screen during startup process.

Thank you so much. This method is working with awermedia A700 Hybrit cart.

I am using TV Tuner Avermedia Super 007. I did what you said above, the image was corrected, but sound is gone. Can you give me?
Sorry for the error sentences. I do not know English, I'm using google translate.

 

[Panther24]

Hey you guys,
I'm glad that you've found a solution for the AverTV 007 pci card, but it actually doesn't work for me (@ Win7 RC1 Build 7100). I do especially missing the line
[AVerMedia M15H PCI Analog]
So would you please be so kind and sent me your whole [users].ini?
Mine (without any changes) looks like that:

Maybe it's because my AverTV software (I'm using the one from the link mentioned) is in German??

[Locutus]

nope, its not because its german. im german, too, and its working fine for me after all.

take a look at
konfiguration -> AverTV -> Form
and there:
Bevorzugten Video-Renderer auswählen
try Video Mixing Renderer. it should work just fine.

also, you would only need the two lines SaturationVMR=64 and ContrastVMR=80 in the ini-file under your cards name.

but maybe you can try mine:

i added comments in swifty brakets, so change them before you use the file since otherwise the file probably will not work.

 

[Panther24]

Hey Locotus,
Unfortunately, it still wont work :-(
Like you can see in my screenie, there's no advanced Video Mixing Renderer Setting.
In fact, my .ini file (I posted the WHOLE one @ #15) seems to be incomplete. Actually, the card name is missing! Furthermore, I dunno where I can get the PI-file-path from!? Im even unsure where AverTV is saving the channel file (I couldn't find an advice to such a file nor in the program directory nor in the documents directory)
btw: I'm using the 64 bit Vers. of Win 7, hope that wont make a great difference in our case.
I'll try your .ini file (with some changes) tomorrow, now I'm going to have some sleep :-D
Regards
Panther24

 

[Locutus]

the channel-list would normaly be located in the same directory as the ini-file.
also, it seems like you are using an older version of avertv. try the 6.18-version (the newest one on their website - but not the hungarian one).

furthermore, you should open the installer-file as it comes from avertv with winrar or something and extract the driver-folder in it to then run the vista-x64-installer seperately if the card is not recognised - which seems to be the case for you.
once the drivers for the card work properly - you can check that by having a look on the tray-icon from the remote, if its yellow, the card is working properly, if its gray, the card is not recognised and you should try reinstalling the drivers.

so all together: try the 6.18-version of AverTV, run the driver-instaler from the file if the card did not get recognised after instalation of 6.18 and then tweak the ini-file - but before tweaking, you can try a channel-search, shouldnt do harm and you would get a complete ini-file to tweak.

and once you did those tweaks and video is still gray, change it on the location mentioned before to Video Mixing Renderer.

 

[Panther24]

Hey Locotus,
my problem up to date:
- I got a prob to deinstall vers 6.0.7 so I just keep it, it isn't working that bad :huh: (but I still cant choose Video Renderer)
- I found (at least) a driver (winUpdate) working, now card was found but the screen is grey
- I started a channel search, so I got a great channel file
- I'm still experimenting with the tweaking stuff, but actually didn't found a working solution: Nor the two lines contrast and saturation nor your .ini file (with my pathes etc) is working... maybe it's because I got a [AVerMedia M135-A PCI Analog]?? :sarc:
I'll continue trying this evening, but if you have an idea what exactly the prob is, I would be really full of grace.
Regards
Panther24

 

[Locutus]

did you tried to just install the newest version over? i think the older versions gave me some errors, too, when trying to uninstall the drivers. so just try that.

if nothing helps, you could still try to reinstall seven and then start with the 6.18-version of avertv.
other than that i have no idea what could help. of course you could wait until seven is released since avermedia somewhen asured me that they will bring out out-of-the-box-working versions of avertv when seven will officially be released.
or you could get another card, but that probably wouldnt be an option.

(btw, weird fact, avertv is showing of some cards on their pages that state themselves as "seven-ready" yet on the other side, they did not manage to bring out a working version of avertv for endusers of other cards. )
