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... |

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). |
