PCIe card and home server question

[Pragmatous]

Question 1

Is there any word from beyond tv about support for Microsoft windows home server?

windows home server
HP EX470 MediaSmart Server

Question 2

I'm looking for a PCIe tv tuner card. I already have a diamond pvr-560 pci card. I have a PCIe slot so I want to use it for a tv tuner card. Anyone know of a good PCIe tv tuner card for dual tv tuner cards? (I want to use the pvr-560 as one tuner card and a pcie card as the second tuner card - for two tv tuner cards)

Greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

hauppauge hvr-1800 and ati 650 are two pcie cards, they have not been tested for Beyond TV though, but I've seen users say they have gotten them to work.

i cannot find the ati 650 pci-express card anywhere. Know of where I can get one?

I can't find the prolink either =/

I'm looking for the ATI 650 because it seems to be the most compatible with PCIe and btv4.

Has anyone have any experience with avermedia? Particularly this one:
AVerMedia 7 95522 96066 5 PCI-Express x1


I'm Still looking,
Thanks!

sorry, just had to comment on the card's name.... how in the world do you call a card the "7 95522 96066 5" ....

i dunno i just copied and pasted hoping people knew what i was talking about.

lol

Edit: if you click it it actually works and goes to that card.

If I'm not mistaken that card is the same as the M780. I could be wrong though!

ya that is the m780 i finally found out what that card is.

Is the m780 supported with beyond tv and any personal experience with that card? I upgraded to vista ultimate and i need a new tv tuner card now sucks but oh well.

My diamond multimedia pvr 560 doesn't work with vista that well. I have to keep running the beyond tv wizard also to get it to work. I had 4.6 and 4.7 happened with both. worked fine in windows xp so i figure it is likely a vista compatibilty issue.

can anyone help here?
