MythTV: anyone using this card with mythTV?

I am - I have the PVR-500 with the Samsung chip (bought locally, not from Amazon) - and the video quality is crap, very grainy, some channels totally blotchy. However, I've talked to someone else that did get the card from Amazon, with the Philips chip, and it's fine. So if you can guarantee getting the Philips chip, seems you're alright.

Sorry, the laptop I was using the card with died, shortly after I got the card. (Unrelated problem.) That was the only machine I have that would take the card. Bad timing for me. However, I had no problems with the card while the laptop was working.

I tried this card and it would not read, I don't know if the manufacturer has a glitch or if they are just making junk, as far as I'm concerned go with the name brand. I have never had one of those to fail.

I have never had a problem with this card. That is to say, the card has played every game I throw at it. I only have an i3 dual core processor also. I think with a good processor and a decent amount of ram you will be satisfied. Also, I recently discovered that if you play through a tv with a 120 or better refresh rate then the frame rate will increase much.

As far as I can tell this device is supported for both ATSC and analog cable for MeTV and MythTV packages. I think they both use the LinuxTV engine. We'll see, I just ordered one based on this assumption.

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

I have tried two cards prior and had them send back for a new card for the upgrade of (OS Maverick). If you do or still can send it back, that if you did an upgrade, tell you need a card compatible with new OS "Maverick". Good luck.

I have always selected the option to not format the card and have had no trouble with recording images and video, as well as downloading those images to my computer. Not sure if that helps at all.

the Vudu app is on there, and I have a subscription, but for some reason the movies keep stalling saying there's an issue with the internet connection. Yet any other app I use, like Nexflix and Amazon, are fine. I never had trouble with Vudu on my old DVR, but it's unusable on this one.

I have it working with my HyperV-V Core 2012 server. Takes some research and some massaging of the Intel drivers after every MS update but this is also a lab environment for me. If I were to do it again though, I'd buy a more current adapter to avoid the hassle though.

Most definitely yes. I've used BTV since 2008 with a 2250 and 1600 and recently added a second 2260 about a year ago. Only issue you might have is if you are recording 4 full HD streams and how fast your hard drive is. I started running a stripe set and things run fine.

I have (6) 1920 x 1080 {27"} running and once set up they have been running continuously since install. I've blown (7) adapters till I got a complete set for both of my machines i have two systems running the same setup at two different locations. Card seem to be working good for over four months now. Buy the adapters locally if possible if they blow your not down very long I have extras just in case. If I had gotten the I-Inc 28" I could tell you about 1920 x 1200 but they never put them on sale again when I was ready to purchase.

I would &#8730; the XFX manuf. site , but see no reason why not; most cards and modern devices go backwards compatible one step or more ...however, why would one be even using such an older slot? This card would be like a hammer for killing flies on an old mobo, if everything else could even keep up (which I doubt). What are you thinking of using this with/as?

Like others have said it'll record until card is full or battery is dead. Just make sure you get a card off BMD's approved list. There are a lot of cards that would seem to be compatible, but you will get a lot of dropped frames.

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card
