anyone have experience with win2000 ?

their latest driver is only win98 support.....
I want to upgrade to win2000
but I need to watch tv on my pc....

thanks
 
If they dont have updated win2k drivers, then probably it wont work in win2k...

not that many TV tuners work in win2k, my friend has an ATI all-in-wonder card... even though they have win2k drivers for the video card, ATI explicitly stated that the TV tuner will not work in win2k even with the updated drivers...
 
Unfortunately, I think that you are pretty much out of luck using that STB tuner with Win2k, UNLESS you can find a driver on 3dfx's website under Legacy Products. But seeing that 3dfx is now being liquidated....well, it's probably time to start considering alternative options (i.e. buy a new tuner card).

🙁

I know for a fact that the Hauppauge ones work (my friend has one), but avoid ATI tuners at all costs; it doesn't seem like they'll ever learn how to write a decent Win2k driver.

 
I haven't had great success with generic Brooktree BT848 (I think that's the chip) drivers with my STB PCI TV and Win2K. I may have a link or two back at the ranch. PM me to remind me.

I remember the drivers crashing my machine tho.
