Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE with Win XP

Lay · 2007-06-26, 13:39

Hi!

Does anybody know if the TV Card WinTV-PVR-500 MCE is also compatible with Win XP SP2 (no MCE)?

Are there other things to notice when using this card? I'm thinking of buying this one.

greetings Lay

I got a Hauppauge HVR-1300 also MCE.

The theory is you can use it on XP SP2 if you use a 3rd party program (like media portal) instead of MCE.

The practice is my case is I am getting all sorts of trouble, cant get the MCE compatible remote to install and the software is not running stable. Not just mediaportal. Tried other options and they all have issues.

I'm using a PVR-500 MCE bulk with Mediaportal on Windows XP SP2 without a problem.

Just downloaded driver from Hauppage website.

Great card for it's price.
