| 367898 | 2005-06-29 04:28:00 | I purchased a TV tuner card so that I can transfer home video to DVD. The TV tuner picks up one ch very fizzy. I brought a generic BT878A Chipset, PCI Internal, with FM Radio that in retrospect probably was a little cheap of me. Is there any suggestions on a good quality card that actually picks up channels via RF. Cheers, Casper P.S. Bundled software "showshifter" I have found to be hopeless! |

Casper Could just be that the software is not tuned properly(one of the programes i use refuses to tune TV1 but the others do it fine) so try tuning it if not find some better software(i use windvr3 Its not free but its quite good) |

| 367903 | 2005-06-30 03:54:00 | There's heaps of driver updates for bt8x8 chipsets from the Pixelview sites, have you got the latest? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 367904 | 2005-06-30 22:04:00 | I found these drivers to be far superior for the bt8x8 chipsets than any others: www.iulabs.com I have not used my crappy bt848 for a couple of years, and I believe there was a sourceforge project to write new drivers from scratch. Those might be better now. You could always turn in a VCR and use the A/V out from it to go to the A/V In on the capture card. |

| 367905 | 2005-07-29 03:53:00 | I have a pixelview playtv pro pv878p+ rev.9x card and can't get the BTWincap drivers to work for it. Has anyone else had any joy with this card and these drivers? | stevesumner (4849) | ||
| 367906 | 2005-07-29 06:16:00 | Why do you specifically need driver XYZ stevesumner? Why not try some from a different site, or the ones from the DSE.co.nz website? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 367907 | 2005-08-15 06:53:00 | I read in a few other forums that the BTWincap drivers were the best. | stevesumner (4849) | ||
