  • WinTV Card?

    Has anybody used a WinTV card with the Matrox G450 or G550?

    Yes many of us do. I have the Hauppauge WinTV/FM stereo PCI M#401 and have used it in Win98 and XP with the G400Max, G450 and G550... works a peach

      Are you able to drag the WinTV2000 App over to the secondary display and watch TV?

        yep I have one. Only prob I have is the teletext program creating an error report under win2k on exiting. Something that Matrox introduced with the drivers. I don't get the errors under win98 or winxp and it's happen across a broad spread of hardware.

          In XP I can... in Win98 I can't

            Funny in XP I didn't get the errors or in 98 just win2k. The earlier win2k drivers don't do it.

              So, in the secondary display not the primary display you are able to watch TV using the WinTV2000 program on a G550 video card?

                  Under XP I noticed that the display quality was a lot less. I've gone back to win2k and the differance is quiet noticable.

                    Well, perhaps it will be that the next version of drivers for WinTV will be better or it will be the Next Matrox card that makes the difference.
