I took the tv card out off my amiga4000 with mediator setup.
This was a working combination(tv card with BT878 chipset) no brandname.
Thought I could use it in my peg 2 to maybe record tv.
But is not supported.
Tried this amithlontv but no go..
How can I tell what brand the card is?
And what is a good card for the peg?No fancy one just for tinkering.

Hi


Well, have you tried Visionary? Maybe you have more luck with it.

I had a LifeViewII (sold to a friend) and now a Hauppage TV card in my Peg2 and both worked with AmithlonTV and Visionary.
There is also btr_8x8 available - though I never had much time to tinker with this one, as it was rather unstable for me.

I made snapshots with AmithlonTV and VHI-Studio; don't know whether there are other programs available.
VHI-Studio supports recording, unfortunately this is very unstable here.

Oh, there is also a program called ValiantVision in work - however, this one still takes some time AFAIK.

Concerning the brand of you TV-card: Maybe you have some luck if you try PciTool and it can give you some hints.


Bye HAK

Thanks for your tips.
Seems like my card ain't supported.
Tried all programs I could find.
But if recording ain't possible I'll stop the search here.
Too bad would made a nice "VCR"
