Hi all
just stumbled across this site while looking for PVR software
My question is i have a MSI Geforce FX5200 which has an analogue tuner on it will this work with GB-PVR ? as i cant see it in the list of suitable hardware but he card isnt that old and i thought it might work
any ideas
cheers

You have a lot of reading to do.
Start first by understanding what a video card does and does not do.
A 5200 series card does not have a tuner but...it does have a video out, there is a big difference.
Good luck...its a fun hobby if you have the time.

my card has ariel input on the back for a regular tv aerial connection which i have had connected and recorded tv programs before using windvr
i just fancied the full media centre type setup
Well, there is one FX5200 that has a tuner on it, but i don't beleive it supports MPEG-2 hardware encoding so I don't think it will be supported. But maybe others have gotten it to work using software encoding plugins

search the forums for the WDM Software Recorder plugin..
[also in wiki]
it uses software encoders and 'may' work with your card..not sure..
only one way to know for sure...try it out..
there's lots of help in the support thread for that plugin..
