BDA Devices

[persim]

I have been looking to pick up a cheap QAM card from Ebay. I have found a few random cards that have entries in the bda.ini file. Are all the BDA devices that are listed in the bda.ini file reported to work with GBPVR? Or are they just what the definitions should be if they worked with GBPVR? Just trying to save myself from having to sell a card I just bought if I found out it doesn't work with GBPVR.

All the entries I've added to bda.ini were indicated to have worked by at least one user. A small number of these device later had users reports of it not working for them, which probably comes down to different versions of manufacturer drivers, or flakey hardware etc.

In some ways, you're probably better of sticking with a well known, well supported card like those from Hauppauge.

Thanks for the quick reply sub. I kinda figured you wouldn't put them in unless someone reported it working. Just trying to save a couple bucks, you would be surprised how much some Hauppauge cards can still get on the aftermarket.

And there is a reason for that.
