Thats fine with me. I was pricing the PVR-250 last night and it looks like thats what I'm gonna do. I learned so much about MythTV setup while playing with the stupid TWP card that I think I can help answer some questions I see people asking in the archives, so I think I'll hang around here and see if I can help.

Thanks for the input!

Has anyone got this card to work right in MythTV? I got mine to load up after 4 days of trying but once I did get it to work tonight it would show a worthless stream for about 5 seconds (no audio) then dump a bunch of rendering errors to the console and crash-out the mythbackend. I tried playing with ALL of the settings buried in the TV Profiles to no resolve. I have spent so much time trying to "make the card work" it would have cost me less to buy a new card that I know will Myth without a problem. Any suggestions on a good, solid card for Myth?



Get the PVR-250 from Hauppage. It's a good solid card, and does hardware encoding, thus less CPU is used on the box, and you get higher quality recordings, that you can use that extra CPU cycles to transcode later to smaller mpeg4 files.

My brother bought one of these TV Wonder Proc (CX88 chipset cards) and I
can not get it to work at all still. I am getting the same results as
you.

the PVR-250 is a little more expensive (around $100-150 USD depending on
where and what sales are going on), but it's well worth it.

My dad is running two of these cards in one box and it works great.
