Avermedia A180

[scottmso]

I just bought an Avermedia A180 HDTV Card. Right now I'm probably going to (try to) use it with GB-PVR. I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it compatible with GB-PVR? (I assume so)
2. I'm using the aerial/ATSC channels for my HDTV. However I plan on keeping my other card (PVR150) which will be connected to cable. How will this work in GBPVR (will it work?)
3. Do you think my CPU will be powerful enough to handle PVR'ing HDTV? The signal from the card is MPEG2, right? (no software encoding) Will my CPU (Athlon XP 1600+) be able to handle it? (if it can't, the CPU is a good overclocker so I can overclock it about 200MHz or so, although I don't right now)

Thanks

1. Is it compatible with GB-PVR? (I assume so)[quote]Another user has indicated it worked. If it doesnt show up in the list of BDA cards, then add the following to bda.ini:

[AVerMedia A180]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=AVerTVHD A180 BDA ATSC Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=AVerTVHD A180 BDA Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

This will work fine. Just setup separate capture sources for each device, with EPG configured to only list the available channels for that device.

There is no HDTV scanning at the moment, but there is instructions on the wiki for how to setup you digital channels.
