Where exactly are these custom drivers?
ECarlson   2004-07-05 13:30
With my inexpensive ($40 at NewEgg) Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP Deluxe, I can move the TV image around to any screen with no problems (at least on the system's I've used it on).

If you're going to be recording, I would suggest spending more to get a card with hardware encoding. The most popular card with hardware encoding is the hauppauge WinTV PVR-250, and if you want hardware decoding too, there's the PVR-350.

Are you using Windows XP?

Also, which video card do you use in your system?
Deam   2004-07-06 02:53
Well, I went and got a cheap hauppauge wintv-go (fm), and it works with the hauppauge drivers.

I am curious as to whether this is a chipset thing, or a driver issue, as I tried an ATI TV wonder pro and it did not work. It crashed my computer, actually.
ECarlson   2004-07-06 10:50
I don't understand what you are asking about in your last message: Please clarify the question.

BTW: I am running Win2K.

And my video cards are: on-board SiS 630 video and an NVidia Riva TNT2 M64 PCI card.

I was running an NVidia Ti4200 dual-out AGP card, but I am currently operating with a motherboard lacking an AGP port.

Well, it is drivers.
I am using a demo of ChrisTV and it allows the ATI Wonder Pro to be used on multple monitors (it is a great program actually) and it works.

The stock ATI drivers do not. A shame really, that a company like ATI would have such poor software.

To clarify the question, I am going through the same problem right now.

I have an askey bt848 tuner and running 2 monitors with nvidia on-board video. I cannot put the TV tuner on the secondary monitor.

I think the reason is because overlay is not supported on the secondary monitor, but I don't know if it is a hardware, software or driver issue?

I am running WinME with directx 9.0. Do I need to upgrade to WinXP, find a new tuner program or what?

Thanks
