ATI TV WONDER VE setup ?

[az_r2d1]

I got the latest gb pvr installed.
Has anyone been able to use this card (ati tv wonder ve) with gbpvr ?
I found this card while moving and was wondering if I could build a low end pvr system with it.
I did install drivers for the card (not the ati ones)

Sorry, but this card lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder so isnt compatible with GB-PVR.

what about this page that notes mpeg2 support ?

Sorry, but that requires software encoding. The device does not have onboard hardware encoding.

hmm, was afraid of that. Thanks for the info.
What would be the cheapest, yet still decent card usable for GB-PVR at this point ?

I recommend people stick with common, well supported cards, like those manufactured by Hauppauge. If you're wanting analog only, go with a PVR150. If you want ATSC/QAM/Analog, then go with an HVR1800 or HVR2250.
