Pinnacle PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI +BDA drivers?

[feelx2210]

Dear all,

Can anybody of you answer the question, whether the Pinnacle PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI supports BDA-drivers?

On their webpage they only statet official Microsoft Windows MCE support, but that doesn't assure BDA-driver-support.

Can somebody help me with that?

thanks a lot.

regards

If thats the case it should work because MCE relies on BDA drivers too.

thanks for the reply, but i am not 100% sure about that.
has somebody of you already run the pinnacle card under MCE?

Even if the card supports BDA driver, I am not sure that MP will support this dual Sat mode.

I would also been interested in this card. Can someone of the MP devs answer?

Hi!

I have this card, and i have added it manually to the carddefinitions xml file and it works perfect.

Best.

I recently purchased the DVB-T version of this card (Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI 2000i). This one works as well with MP after adding it to CaptureCardDefinitions.xml
