Did you check the system requirements on SageTV site, which includes supported tuners... ?

yes i did see that but i didnt see my card so im asking. you never know

Yeah, but your card doesn't even do mpeg2... which is a requirement, not just a suggestion. It also has to be a hardware encoder which I don't think any of the lifeview cards are.

Take a look at any of the hauppauge cards (though the 350 has "issues" that some people have run into.) I'd personally choose the 250 or 500.


[edit] btw... you'll find it pretty difficult to find any good pvr software that DOESN'T require a hardware encoding capable card. It's not just Sage.

TV / Video capture
- Full motion video capture up to 30 fps
- Video capture format: AVI, MPEG-I, MPEG-II (option)
- Still image snapshot format: BMP
- Video capture size: up to 720x576 (AVI), 352x240 (VCD NTSC) and 352x288 (VCD PAL)

that from http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/v...ture.html#2000

It does not use hardware compression... The drivers do the compression... IT NO WORKY WITH SAGE!

Get yourself a real card. Even the hauppauge pvr150 will do the job.

The Avermedia M150 is about $60, and the PVR 150 is only about $10 more.

PCAlchemy has the PVR150s for about $65 (and it's a great place to HTPC shop )
