I was reading over at shspvr and noticed that Hauppauge has some beta drivers out. Here is the change log over what most of us already have:
** Hauppauge Release Info/History...
*/
Driver Release 2.0.43.24108.PreRelease (04/18/06)
* The joyous return of Win2k support!
* Improved DMA support for 64bit Operating Systems.
Driver Release 2.0.43.24103 (04/13/06)
* Improved Firmware load time.
* Future hardware revs handle Wolfson properly.
* Fixed issue which yielded no audio and/or video problems on some systems. Problem was rare but nevertheless possible.
* Experimenting with improved tuner picture quality under some circumstances on PVR500.
Driver Release 2.0.43.24054 (02/23/06)
* Improved Vista support/compliance. Filter pin medium Ids guaranteed uniquen and consistent across boots and slot changes.
* Improved audio initialization. FM volume correct on first run if this is the first source.
* TOP settings optimized for some tuners.
* Much closer to full CCInDVD support.
* GraphEdt (for example) shows correct pin direction, medium info, etc. for all filters and pins.
* Registry Keys and Debug Output to investigate reports of Timestamps being reset.
* Single 32/64 bit INF changed into two separate INFs (according to MS requirements).
* Significant LineIn Audio improvements.
* There had been a request for PAL-60 support (for XBox users). I threw this in
WITHOUT ANY TESTING due to time constraints. Feedback welcome (irate complaining not).
* Improved support for 32 bit WinTV applications on 64 bit systems.
* Improved Vista support/compliance.
* Support for future Mako Audio Firmware. (not related to LineIn audio changes).
* INF Finetuning for Retail 500.
You can download the drivers from Hauppauge HERE
This drivers are BETA... so use at your own risk. I am not supporting these drivers or even saying they work. If you jack your system becuase of this... don't come crying to me.
Seems like these drivers improve picture quality.
