ati x1900

[mattsauto]

I just bought and installed a used x1900 radeon pci express card to watch and record tv. I dont like the factory software so i decided to try gb pvr. I installed the program but tne tuner guide does not include my card. Any that I try say there is a missing crossbar. Am i doomed or am i missing a step in getting this to work for me. Thanks in advance with whatever suggestions you have.

Unfortunately this device cant be used as a capture device with GB-PVR.

Can i use it for watching tv and its guide???

Sorry, this device cant be used for either live tv or recording. It lacks the required hardware MPEG2 encoder.

any suggestions on a good software program that will work with my hardware

Sorry, I dont know. I've never used one of those cards myself.

the x1900 is a display only card...i'm not aware of any all-in-wonder versions with a 1900 on them either..
the extra ports you see on it are for tv outs, not ins...
it should work fine for display, but only mpeg2 acceleration...no h264..
[use software codec instead for 264]

I assumed it was an AIW model he was asking about, but you could be right.

There was an AIW-X1900: http://ati.amd.com/products/RadeonX1900/...index.html

(not that that changes anything)
