Trouble Trouble Trouble

I've worked with hardware and software for a couple decades, but this has just been trouble from the start. I tried it first in my Win2000 machine. After installing their software from the cd, win2000 crashed. I had to boot to safe mode and remove the device from the device manager to get it back up. Installed in on a different win2000 machine and had similar problems. Installed it on a winXP machine and it destroyed the OS, I had to reinstall the entire machine. Finally I got it to install on an winXP machine with no errors, but still no video. Have called Hauppauge and the only thing they could tell me was maybe I had a bad card. Well I traded my card and had all the same problems.
It does work

For me at the biggining I was having it working then not working Windows Media will not work and Xp worked but I found you must have it in the first slot pci but it is to close to tne video card. To much heat but so far so good excelent producted wehn it worked.

I bought the card together with other PC parts and assembled them, power on, install windows XP2 and everything was working very well. The only thing that I don't like is the TV software. It's slow. When I tried the Intervideo Hometheather software. It works fast, but TV picture starts flickering.

pop the cd in the drive and shut down ... pop the card in and all is well ...

xp pro w/ sp1 and sp2, win2k, AND linux with a little work
use mythtv (windows) or ivtv (linux) which both support more than one of these cards
