PAL Question Hauppauge 500MCE

[kaede]

Hello everyone! FIRST some info, I live in Argentina and we use PAL-N format for analog tv signal.

Dont know why but I always have this "Twin" or "Dual" weakeness so when I heard about the Hauppauge 500MCE "dual" tunner I had to get one of those.
But I always check for review and ask a lot of question before buying anything so I asked Hauppauge Tech support for PAL format with 500MCE card and they asured me that I should purchase the model 1081 (NTSC) model wich also support PAL, so I did, and had no trouble runnig Windows Media Center 2005.

Then I tried the Btv3.5 trial using the same card, and got nothing but static, althougth I did enjoy the smooth interface. (that was a long time ago) and since my WinMediaCenter box was running flawless I did not care to solve the problem.

But now it seems that Ive hit the limitation of WMC2005 and need more that 2 tunners and the OS have this "stupid" limit of 2 tunners installed in a sigle PC, so I came back to Btv. Right now I cant test the trial v4.4 since I borrow the card to a friend and he just went to vacation for a couple of weeks, yeah lucky me . So I would like to know if anyone have tried this model in PAL format using the v4.4 and get a positive result.


Thank you!
