    G200 Pvr?

    I've got a spare PC which I'm currently using as a stool to sit on whilst I use my main PC. Anyways, this PC has a Matrox Marvel G200 card in it, with the external VIVO box.

    I thought about turning this into a PVR box. I originally looked at MythTV, but the hassles of getting the TV out on the G200 working looked far too much effort and by most accounts didn't seem particularly stable.

    Sooooooo, anyways, I gave ShowShifter a try which worked, but I wanted to try some other apps a whirl.

    Has anyone tried any other applications? ShowShifter is the only one I've found so far that supported the VfW drivers that the G200 has...

    Scrap that, got MythTV working under Linux on the G200 for Video In & Out. Well impressed so far

      I'm planning on doing the same, but I use 2.6 kernel for other devices right now, and G200 capture drivers don't work with 2.6 as far as I know.

        When I get a minute, I may compile a 2.6 kernel and test it...

          SBDJ, any hints on getting the G200 working? I've been trying for a long time and cant get the tv working (capture or viewing) with myth, but xawtv works fine. I'd appreciate any advice!
