[QUOTE="dooda48, post: 57100, member: 13137"] Hey Acolyte57, I have one of the NVTV Va2000N's, and while i love the picture when i can get it to work (I have been trying to get MP working properly with this card for almost a year) its one i would currently say stay away from. The card you have seen with the LSI chip on will probably be similar if not the same chip. MediaPortal is a great app but I think having a TV card that works on its own properly like one of the PVR150's or something more popular would be a better choice. the only reason i have the NVTV is because i picked it up in the UK for about 20 pounds (compared to the $150 the PVR150 would cost me here in NZ). Apparently this card works perfectly in XP MCE, but not going to spend $250 on that to make a $60 card work. I did actually get the NVTV card working really well for a while, using MP 0.2 RC1, PVR Scheduler to start up the pc and shut down when done. But, did a reinstall of a kosher version of XP Pro and now I cant get it to work as well as it did before, even using 0.2 RC1 version of MP (wont work in anything later (RC4)). Good luck in your quest, but brace yourself for many, many wasted days/nights getting your chosen TV card to work.... Dooda48 [/QUOTE]
