[mythtv-users] 2 WinTV cards on Asus w/ VIA chipset

[Tom Craddock]

Jim

Jim,

>From your revision #32552 and looking at the link you mentioned, it should
work.  From the web site

" Known working:

    * Hauppauge PVR250
          o Rev1: Models 48xxx, S-Video connector only, comes with composite
adapter
          o Rev2: Models 48xxx, separate S-Video and Composite inputs
          o Rev3: Models 32xxx, should have Conexant CX23416"

Since yours is a Rev3: Models32xxx and has the Conexant CX23416, then it
should work, as it's a known working card.  Only if the card has the
"CX23416 MPEG1/2 Encoder combined with the CX23880 Audio/Video Digitizer" is
it considered the BlackBird design, so you should be ok as far as this is
concerned.  Sorry for leading ya in the wrong direction, just thought it may
have helped.  Hope you get it working.  Enjoy

Tom

OK now I'm not certain this is a PVR-250MCE.  On the card itself is 
printed....
Hauppauge NTSC/NTSC-J 32552   Rev B123
And I see the CONEXANT MPEG II A/V encoder chip CX23416-12.

 From that link you sent 
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=SupportedHardware   I see on 
the bottom that the Conexant Blackbird Design has that chip and is known 
NOT to work.  
Is this that type of card?

I received no documentation with the card just itself in static bag.
