<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought this one about 2 years ago. I had
also heard that the new ones didnt work. I did consider just purchasing
the pvr250, but I want to make sure I wouldnt just be having a new set of
problems. Did you use knoppmyth? I was able to get everything
installed properly with that, but just a blank screen when i try to watch
video</FONT></DIV>

patches and stuff for it when <BR>googling, but did not get them to work. Well,
I got frustrated and <BR>bought Hauppage PVR 250 and I got mythtv up and running
in <BR>one evening. <BR><BR>I would like to know if you get the card working, I

mythtv. I got myth installed easily with Knoppmyth, but my <BR>>

though it <BR>> is the conextant 878a chip. <BR>> <BR>> Is there anyone
