| 246927 | 2004-06-23 02:32:00 | Well i bought a Pixelview playtv pro for $70nz and i had no problems with it. However i've reinstalled windows, and now when i try to install the software and drivers for it. It seems no matter what i do, it says " you have no video capture device" :x So anyway it looks like i'll have to spend a bit more and buy another one :( My system is running 512mb ram, 128mb 9600se GFX, AMD XP2800+ I am wanting the card mainly for recording (so compression is improtant) as i already have a tv. Also it must have a BT878P, or so I've been recomended. I'm looking at spending around $100nz and these seem to be the options: TV Execl TV PCI Internal Tuner PV-BT878P+ With Remote Control NZ $65.00 www.qmb.co.nz ECS EZ-TV (TVP3XP) TV&FM Tuner Card $92nz www.metratonit.co.nz MSI TV@nywhere Master TV Tuner Card NZ$79.00 www.xpcomputers.co.nz Winfast TV/FM Tuner (TV2000XP Deluxe) NZ $109.00 htttp://www.qmb.co.nz/p.aspx?100578 Winfast TV/FM Tuner (TV2000XP expert)NZ $156.38 www.qmb.co.nz All prices are exclusive of GST (+ 12%) Any advice, warnings and cautions are gratefully recieved. |

| 246928 | 2004-06-23 02:37:00 | Sounds like a driver issue to me,i wouldn't go replacing the card as yet. as for those listed,i would recomend the winfast. The ecs/excel are terrible cards,well the software is anyway. |

| 246931 | 2004-06-23 04:50:00 | As in most things,You get what you pay for,I have no idea about the Compro VideoMate but i personally wouldn't touch it because- A-Its too cheap B-Ive never used it C-I've never even heard of it. Winfast series of cards are well worth spending the extra few dollars on. |

| 246933 | 2004-06-23 06:44:00 | Okay, i know this sounds stupid so let me explain. I've tried everyhting with this card Downloading new drivers Installing drivers that came with Installing Btwain drivers Installing Virtual VCR and a host of other things. nothing works. I may give it a few more tries yet, but it's looking like i'd need to reinstall windows to get this pig working, and seeing as i've jusat gone through hell with that, i can't be bothered at the moment. So i'm looking around trying to decide what is worth buying. |
