Nope, it's a Philips FQ1236A MK4 purchased last Aug. I remember that I had to go to the latest stable ivtv at that time (0.3.6o - which is what I'm still using on that card), but it's been flawless and captures a beautiful picture. I knew this one was a Samsung based, so I put it in a newly configured system (friend of mine was one of the first to get stuck with a Samsung - after I advised him to get a PVR-500 based on my glowing report on my Philips card). I just thought it would work better by now. Does anyone know someone at Hauppauge that they can go "box about the ears" for switching vendors? ;-) TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
