SAA7130 TV Tuner

I have an SAA7130 TV Tuner... I just downloaded the newest version of GB-PVR and can't get it to detect my card... any suggestions?

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

You can *try* to get the SoftwareRecorder plugin to work with it (check the wiki under unsupported plugins). I used that for a while with satisfactory results (after some tweaking), but I've now upgraded to a WinTV PVR-150 with hardware encoding. I think you'll be much happier if you do the same or get a similar card, and you can get a used one on eBay pretty cheap these days.
