[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 93016, member: 14004"] The reason this card wont work with MediaPortal is because its a software encoding card. All of the recording and compressing is done by your CPU and the computer software compared to a hardware encoding cards like the PVR series from Hauppauge which do all the encoding in hardware directly on the card itself. I used to use an ASUS TV-FM card, and it was a software encoding card like the WinTV-GO is. Picture quality was great when simply watching TV, but recording was flakey most of the time. Save yourself the headache, spend a bit more on a hardware encoding card like a PVR-150 MCE which is fully supported by MediaPortal, and is only a few more dollars than the WinTV GO. [/QUOTE]
