Hi Steve,

Sorry, I'm a twit, it's an HVR-1200 I have set up. And no, the analogues
does not work on it.

Regards,
James.

Hi James,
Given the trouble you've had, would you recommend against me purchasing the
WinTV-HVR-1300 as an analogue card, or should I stick with it and try my
luck at compiling the drivers? Now that you've got the analogue part of it
working, how would you rate it as an analogue card? Is Mythbuntu able to use
the card's hardware MPEG 2 encoder?

Cheers,
Steve :)
