Dual tuner question...PVR150 & ATI TV-Wonder?

[Lorea]

I did a search, but I couldn't find it....so forgive me if this has been asked!

I currently have an ATI TV-Wonder (it's about 7 years old!!!). I was wondering if I could add a PVR150 to it for a dual tuner - would this work with Beyond TV? Basically, I want to be able to watch and record on 2 separate channels.

Also, is there any kind of option for PIP?

Thanks!!

Yes this will work. That's the same config as my own as well! I have never tried PIP. I record on both tuners at once when the new shows are on.

You will lose the ability to record directly to WMV format, just so you know. You can still squeeze it after it's recorded.

But.... This configuration is not "officially" supported in a dual tuner mode. More than one tuner officially requires all hardware based tuners. However, many have gotten it to work, but you have to configure/setup in a specific order (I believe that you have to install the SW card first) Do a search and you will find quite a few posts on this topic.

Great, thanks all!
