Bad news from me, your guide does not help to me

I follow all steps you wrote, all was installed successfully, but my software for watching TV still does not recognize my device.

When i start program, it shows this error:
 winfastpvr2_1.jpg ( 36.38K ) Number of downloads: 23


when i go to settings to select device this i have:
 winfastpvr2_2.jpg ( 49.02K ) Number of downloads: 13


I dont know what to do now...

Make sure you have the latest "DIRECTX" installed. also a decent codec pack
run this file from DXSETUP.exe from the latest DX9 Redist download
if it still does not work then do this:
run the file bda.inf from "BDAXP.cab" (from latest direcx download)again, and restart (right click on bda.inf and then choose install). if its promting you to install pnp devices that it finds, then just click cancel for all of them if it still does not work, then run bda.inf again, and this time when it finds the pnp devices, just locate and install. when its prompting pnp install make sure you browse to the files extracted from "bdaxp.cab"

Also the guide is sort of confusing, double check everything, and repeat all actions from my guide again if its still not working.
