Avermedia Ultra TV PCI 500 <= Support by BTV 3.5?
I have been playing with different tuners for the past couple of months.
M179, PVR250, Coexant 878
I almost stuck with the M179. However, the pictures were choppy once in awhile for no reason during the first bootup. I could not get a picture out of the PVR250.
After playing with all the cards, so far, I found the Avermedia Ultra TV PCI 500 to provide the best quality picture out of the pack. It is just really crisp and clear. However, as I tried to integrate with BTV. It could not detect the sound. The picture is fine. I tried to rebuild the box and reinstall the darn thing. (I have even changed OS between W2K and Win XP) It still could not detect the sound with BTV 3.4.3.
Does anyone know if this card is going to be supported in the future 3.5 release? In the meantime, I'll stick with the Coexant 878.
