So I scored a free Compro VideoMate TV

sunami88 · **25th March 2008, 01:53 AM**

As I said in the topic, I scored a free Compro VideoMate TV, and the thing works pretty good. Only problem is it uses Software encoding, and as of yet I cannot get Media Center to use it. The guide/setup all works, but when I go to Live TV my computer slows waaaaaay the heck down and I end up having to end-task MCE.

Has anyone had any luck with this card? Or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks all

I had one a couple of years ago and it worked in MCE after installing the Mainconcept encoder. I'll connect the link to the download section shortly. You don't exactly tell us which version of the card your using, which might get someone with more specific information taking an interest in your situation as well so I'd strongly reccomend adding that detail.

OK the thread on adding non compliant tuners to MCE is here and there is a link to the encoder that might still work there as well.
