I was not able to find all the info on this.. but what chipset does it have and is anyone using this with their myth box? Seems like a cheap card and even has a remote etc....

I looked into this card briefly about a month ago, since I was wanting a second capture card. At that time, the info that I could find on it was all from Hauppauge's site, and had very few details.

Since it sounded quite different from my current PVR-150 (which has been working like a champ with IVTV), I decided to pass and continued looking for a deal on the 150. I doubt IVTV will support the 1033, since it looks to be quite a different animal.

YMMV

(BTW - the second 150 that I added works like a charm - even with the second IR blaster!)

the WinTV-Go series, including the Plus, uses the bt878(a) chip. It works as much as you'd expect it to. You need a pretty decent PC to work with this card so it can handle the "on-the-fly" encoding. Also, to get the sound to work you need a patch cable from the line-out on card to the line-in on your sound card.

I had one and the biggest problem I had was the sound always had this high pitched squel. It's possible to ignore, some of my friends (specifically the girls) didn't notice it until I pointed it out, but it bothered the hell out of me. Also the picture quality is a little grainy, but I didn't notice HOW grainy until I upgraded to a PVR-150.

Ultimately, I recommend saving up for a PVR series. My next major upgrade to my box is another PVR-150. I still have my WinTV Go Plus but now it's sitting on the table, completely unused...

ill second spydirweb, I have a wintv go and I ended up delaying my myth box till I got a PVR 500MCE. I did find a use for the wintv go though it is in the box and being used for the remote control *LOL* refuse to enable it for TV

Hey,

I've got this card also.
These are my first steps in MythTV...

The software detects it very good (chipset BT848A). But then i get stuck. I can't manage to scan any channels. Can somebody point me out what i need to select for the Capture card? I see that i can select 4 kind with this chipset? I tried several cards, but never recieved any channel...

ps don't now if it's important, but i'm from Belgium (West-European).
