lord xeon Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Ok, i'm in the market for a TV turner, i want it to work on Vista and OSX86. I've done some searching, and figured out that most USB ones work perfectly with iTv or Elgato's software. However i would really like it if i could get a PCI card, and of those the BT878 ones seem to mostly work. Does anyone have any current PCI tv turner cards working? And if not, which USB ones do you recommend? also, i'd like to keep this as close to, or under $100 as possible, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 PCI somewhow are working, but USB ones are better on Mac OS X (Because supported programs), see some from elgato.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord xeon Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 well, i would love it if anyone has this card working: Kworld PVR-TV-PE210 http://www.kworld.com.tw/en/index_PCI-E.htm cause it's pci-e and dual, and just over the $100 price point i had set for myself. anyone have that card working?

lord xeon Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ok, i know i'm asking for alot here, but here are 2 card's im looking at right now, both are dual digital/analog cards, one is PCIx, one is PCI. no idea how to find out if they have the right chipset though. AVerTV Combo PCIx Kworld digital/analog PCI I'd prefer the PCIx one over the PCI one, but really no matter which one works, i'll be happy. I'd like to be able to buy a car by the end of the week, so help soon would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord xeon Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 well, i got the Kworld one, and no luck getting it to work, not that i was expecting it, but i mainly got it because my friend wanted a new one and i said id get that one, if it didnt work, he'd buy it off me, so its all good. I'm looking at getting this Leadtek one, only $30, and according to here, it works no problem. ill update when i get it, but since its a long weekend, probably wont come till tuesday/wedensday, bummer...
