    Hi,

    We could take the oportunity of this post to publish the alternative software tested and confirmed to be compatible with this TV tuner.
    The stock software has many flaws. No Divx encoding, no re-order channels, to much time to open...

    So i've tested Intervideo WinDVR 3 and it is compatible! It has nice features also. I'm still to know if it encodes in divx but at least i can reorder the cannel list ant it opens instantly.

    If any of you have tested other software that works, please post.

    PS: Couldn't we make a post with all the alternative software to install in HEL80 different hardware? It would be a nice knowledge sharing! Hope i was clear.. i'm not english..

    I use also the PowerVCR 3.0 with this FlyTv card with my Compal HEL81. This software may choose other type of capture than only DVD format. But it desable tuner audio volume control. The unique bug that I have with boot software (LiveView and Power VCR) is when I open its at first time the system report any problem and application may be close. Than I open again and the tuner and software work fine. I think that the tuner audio is less low than other Windows application and has no control to do it, but work. And image quality is better than other tv capture card that I have like ATI All in Wonder 9200, PixieView Prolink.
