Just finished putting together my GB-PVR machine  -and no video.
I'm using a Radeon All-In-Wonder (the original -the one before the numbering system) for my TV out.
EDIT: updated the drivers to the PVR-250 and everything works!
New Question now: Â All is fine except for 2 areas:
Dropped frames. The picture is a litttle jerky sometimes. I am completely assuming this is due to my slow machine (800 mhz Duron). Â Right? yes? time to upgrade?
Ok, problem 2 - colors. Â The picture seems over-saturated, especially the reds. Other colors are darker and uglier than on my TV. I can change some settings on my Radeon All-In-Wonder, but I haven't had much luck - it's probably a 4 or 5 year old card. Â Do you imagine that getting a new vid card fix the colors? If, so what's a good cheap one with S-video out that won't stink? Newegg.com has lots of Radeon 7000's for around 30 bucks.
