Is the Hauppauge WinTV Go Card Supported? (1 Viewer)

Howdy. I just came across this site. Awesome software from what I've seen so far. I have a question:

Is the Hauppauge WinTV Go Card Supported by this software? I have one of these. Specifically, the WinTV Go-Plus with the remote (Model #1033). Here's the link:

Has anyone tested MediaPortal with this tuner card? I looked on the supported hardware list, but I didn't see it. And I searched the forums, but I haven't found anything yet. But maybe someone out there has it working and the list has yet to be updated.

Anyone get MediaPortal working with a WinTV Go? :?:

I believe it is a software card (which are no longer supported unfortunately)
It might work however with the previous release of MediaPortal (0.1.3) as I have a WINTV-GO2 card (including remote control) that works perfectly with that release.

Its a software card so no, it wont work in future releases (0200RC2 and later).

Aw.... Well thanks guys. :wink:

Well, It looks like I'll be shopping again... :roll: What card is the best to use with MP? Is there one HIGHLY preferred card that works like a dream with MP? I want to make sure I get the right one this time... :roll:

Basically if its Hauppauge its already supported (its probably the most commonly used brand on here), and because of this they are very well supported.

Basically, PVR-150MCE if you want a single tuner or PVR-500MCE if you want dual tuner.

Thanks for the advice. :wink: I ran out and got a simple Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 (Single Tuner) with the remote. I saw it was on the supported hardware list, so I'm assuming I should be ok. It was only a hundred bucks.

I'll probably throw the WinTV Go up on eBay and see what I get for it. I'll probably keep the remote as a spare though. :wink: It's the EXACT same thing that came with the PVR150. :shock:

I'm about to start a project to actually build a box around this software. (There are a few PVR Software packages out there, but this one really seems like it's the best one. :wink: ) I already have a Tivo, but I would like to be able to surf the net, get my email, burn, and maybe play an emulated game or two. :wink:

Wish me luck. You'll probably see more of my dumb face around the forum in the coming weeks. :wink:
