Hi
I am building a new system and need to know if anyone is using the Hauppauge WinOnTv PCI card with either the Nvidia GTS (probably will get the Leadtek GTS) or the Radeon. Also will be using Windows ME or maybe 98SE
I am not interested in the AIW Radeon.
Many thanks

The box of my WinTV PCI says it's compatible to Geforce cards, but I had some problems with my Geforce/WinTV combo I never experienced when using a Matrox or Voodoo card instead of the Geforce.

What problems did you have? Apart from just 16 bit colour (which is OK in my opinion for a TV Tuner) was something else that didn't work?

I have two WinTv cards, one in a system with Win2K Pro and a TNT2 and the other in a system with Win2K server and a 64 meg GF2. Both work flawlessly, I have tried a few tv cards and I like this one the most.

I don't mean the 16bit colour problem (even though KNC One cards do support 32 bit). The problem were crashes, plain and simple. The Geforce/WinTV combo could run 3-4 hours max. until it crashed. With Voodoo or Matrox cards I never had stability problems.

I run a 64 meg Geforce 2 card and it doesn't care how long it's running either full screen or windowed TV it never crashes.
Win2K server, DX8, Det 6.50, Hauppage WinTv PCI stereo, GF2 set at 400/200 mhz, sys has P3 700e @ 1002 mhz and 256 megs infinion @ 222 5t/7t. Also runs DVD's just fine with no 'hardware decoder card'.
