Feature Request Timelines - Xcard and Dazzle DVC II?

[shushry]

Been searching through the forums of all the great PVR's out there and kudos to you all at Sage for producing a top rate product!

I've seen a few snitches about possible SageTV support for the Sigma Designs XCard, which has FANTASTIC output, and the Dazzle DVC II, which has INCREDIBLE encoding quality - would seem perfect to add support for these two devices within Sage TV. I've heard mention of it, but can Sage offer any confirmation on development work here, potential timelines, and what the specific development challenges are?

Thanks! Any help I can provide would be gladly contributed!

From what I've been told the DVCII already works with Sage. Give it a try if you've got one.

The XCard also already works with Sage. A bunch of people use it currently.

Game on!

I'd like confirmation on the dazzle DVCII as well. I have one of those, although it has no tuner the capture quality is really nice.

I've had very very limited success with the combination - usually get a graph error or frozen image on the screen when trying to use this combination of cards. I've tried several different drivers (official and unoficial - i.e., the dazzle Spawn drivers) and all function normally within the moviestar application, but not within Sage .

I do get sporatic output from the Xcard, but usually a frozen image, and nothing from the SpDif output but static.

If anyone has had success with these cards, if you could post your configuration information that would be much appreciated!

Also, I dont' think that the OSD from SageTV will pipe through the Xcard at this time - please correct me if I"m wrong!

We also waiting for OSD support on the PVR350.
