Beside the support for TV tuner cards, I would like to have support for Radio tuner cards as well. In my case it even is the same card. Now I have to switch to another program if I want to use the other half of the card :-/
-
I have the Leadtek WinFast TV 2000XP and I would also like to use the fm tuner through Media Center.
-
Good call! I totally forgot my TV Tuner card (Hauppauge WinTV) has this functionality until I saw this.
-
Any comments from the developers?
-
Maybe some day. If you have a link to an SDK, it would help. It's pretty hard to do anything unless the manufacturer provides details.

I had a radio card 3 years ago, do they still make them i never see them for sale.
I hardly see any computers Gateway, Dell etc... that even give you an option to buy the computer with a TV Card.
Thats one reason i don't think this Media Center Thing the Microsoft And Some Others to include J river to go anyplace unless they start putting the TV cards in the computers.
Sure i can buy one, but whay would i rip out a ATI 9700 Video Cart And Put In A New ATI Video Card With TV thats $300+ worth of video card i can't use.

How about an ATI TV Wonder VE for $50? You can keep your hot Video card.
Or a USB TV card like WinTV-USB.

>> How about an ATI TV Wonder VE for $50?
I have one, but it is not compatable with this Intel On The Mother board Video Junk (In this computer)
It Also does not work as good as My ATI All-In-Wonder Card On The Other Computer.
I was looking at computers last night on the internet, and not one i looked at Offer The ATI All-In-Wonder Video Board.
And The ATI TV Wonder VE is not compatable with other video Cards.
Like you said when i do get My Cray III i will get an ATI Video card and then Get the TV Wonder Card, but it seems a waist when i would prefer the ATI ALL-In- Wonder when i buy the computer.
They need to start pushing computers with TV Cards already in it when you buy it.

I use an ATI TV Wonder USB... which I can also take on trips for my laptop. On my 2.5GHz machine, it uses 4-10% CPU at 640x480, 6Mb/s, windowed. Quality is good.
There is a funny audio bug (drop-outs) that I'm posting on the .100 beta board.

Never seen it before is the USB the only connection?

Yep. It has a Composite and an S-Video input with line-in, as well as an NTSC+ tuner. You can pick Line In on your computer's sound board if you prefer.

i guess that would not work i don't think i have a video in
-
Sorry, I must have miscommunicated. I seem to specialize in it...
The connection from the TV Wonder USB to the computer is a single USB 1.1 cable. The TV Wonder gets all its power from the USB - no wall wart.
What you can put into the TV Wonder is:
a) NTSC broadcast (i.e., antenna or cable)
b) Composite video + stereo audio (Yellow, Red, White)
c) S-Video + stereo audio (S-Video, Red, White)
If you want to route the audio from your receiver (etc.) directly to the computer, you can. It's a setup option.
I like it. :) When I'm ripping from the DSS, I have its video recorder capture 1fps with low-quality audio. That way I can get the Title/Artist/Album info later when I'm editing the recorded audio WAV file in CoolEdit.
I do need to use ATI's TV system and recorder to get the 1fps recording. MJ/MC doesn't have that feature (or I haven't found it).

Ok I guess that would work.
I think i will look for one later.
