Best driver for PVR 250 and SageTV

[Lester Jacobs]

I picked up two of the Hauppauge PVR 250 cards a couple days ago with a view to installing them in my HTPC for use with SageTV. My question is:

What is the best driver currently for using the PVR 250 with SageTV? Do I just download the latest drivers off the hauppauge site or is there a specific driver I should be using? I'm using WinXP Pro if that makes a difference.

Get the driver from SHS's site - www.shspvr.com

Cool. Any word on if they fix the video glitching problem or the ghosting problem that's been discussed before?

Far I can tell it seems to be fix oh just so you know jeff there now a REAL SVCD mode so that outputstreamtype=12 work

I am about to try the new drivers.. I seem to be either unlucky enough to get a load of these problems or sensitive to them so much that they just shout out at me...

When i am actually watching recordings i find it less of a problem so long as they are not too frequent.. but when i am browsing and tech-ing with it and I spot it (especially after wasting whole weekends, and £100s buying new PCs to fix problem) i get a little bothered

*Fingers crossed* but i'm not expecting miracles... in the long term i can see this kind of glitch really holding SageTV back from mainstream appeal... a lot of users wont want it from their devices... is there any competing hardware mpeg encoders coming out that SageTV could adopt as the new standard bearing card for Sage... or will an AIW with that software encoder be the best choice, albiet one requiring power to do it...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have now got my two tuner system up and runnign smoothly.
