This is a quick post to let everyone know that the new DViCO Dual Digital 4 will not work in any Dell PC.
I purchased this card for use in my Optiplex GX620 as an upgrade from my Compro DVB-T300. However, when I removed the old card and installed the DViCO, windows failed to boot. It just hangs with a black screen.
A clean install causes the Windows setup to hand in the blue DOS window when it is "Starting Windows".
I used clean XP Pro and Home disks and Dell versions of XP Home and Pro, nothing worked.
I also tried the card in the following Dell PCs at work today with no luck.
- Optiplex GX620 Full Tower
- PowerEdge 1800
- PowerEdge 1400SC
- Precision Workstation 370
- Precision Workstation 470
All have roughly the same results.
I bought the card from UMART.NET, they will only give me store credit, no refund, so I am getting an MCE keyboard and remote and a little R/C Helicopter...
Hopefully this saves someone else from wasting their money
