However in the win95 land I get this card |working "fine" (as can be expected for that environment :-) | |So there must be something different with the Miro card the |driver/fxtv overlooks compared to hauppauge which works better. | |So my options practically are (in no special preference): |- return the cards and get the hauppauge ones |- work with you and get the MIRO specifics of the driver straight | |I'm tracking 3.0-current on the box I'm playing with the card and I'm |not doing any "real" work with it (yet) so it's easy to reboot/etc frequently. Steve Passe's the tuner expert. Maybe he can lend a hand or offer some advice on which of the options you mentioned would be best. It seems that the driver might have some problems with your tuning standard. The tuner standard support is implemented in the driver, with fxtv just acting as a pass-through for channel numbers and frequency standard names. Out of curiousity, have you tried plugging a PAL VCR up to the RCA jacks (I don't know if the PAL WinTV has these or not; the NTSC Wincast does)? I'm curious if the capture part works well with an external tuner in place. Be sure to select the Video input instead of Tuner. Randall
