    Hi,

    recently I bought an USB TV Tuner to receive DVB-T signals. ( Cintergy T USB XXS)
    With the standard software and drivers delivered I was able to receive DVB-T and watch TV. Now my problem is that the standard software (Terratec Home Cinema) really sucks. So I searched on google and found other applications that should be able to access the TV Tuner. I tried Media Player Classic, VLC, MoreTV, DScaler,... all without success. The problem isn't that the device doesn't work properly or the applications sucks, the problem is that the device isn't in the list of "Video devices" in any program.

    [​IMG]

    For example, VLC, this screen I found on the net. On the right you see a combo-box "Video device name:" normally the device should be in that combo-box, but ofcourse, my device isn't. This explains the problem. How can I get my computer to recognize my USB TV Tuner as a Dshow device? I already did an extensive search on Google without finding a solution... Following is the .inf driver from the Cintergy T USB XXS, it clearly tell's something about Dshow. O yea, I have Windows 7...
