The hardware is different, it is not just a software change necessary. Most people would just buy a PAL card instead of desoldering the NTSC tuner box, then finding and soldering on the PAL tuner. |

Hi, thnx for the reply..... yes i saw the options dialog box...... in that the pal and other standards are enabled only for s-video and composite video types ...... not for the direct tv tuner cable input which will be from my cable line ..........:::: According to this, there are at least two different versions of card. This is a PCI card version. "ATI TV Wonder Pro" http://ati.amd.com/products/tvwonderpro/specs.html "TV-tuner Requirements TV signal from amplified antenna or cable. Versions available for: * NTSC (North America, Japan and Latin America) * Universal PAL/Secam (Europe and International PAL/Secam countries) Features vary from country to country and depending on the television standard." Here is a seller advertising the NTSC version: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...anufacture=ATI If I go to the BTTV gallery, it looks like the card might ship with two or three different tuners. %ATICXTUN.DeviceDescPMK5%= ATICXTUN.FQ1238MK5, STREAM\ATICXTUN.FQ1238MK5 %ATICXTUN.DeviceDescPMK3%= ATICXTUN.FI1236MK3, STREAM\ATICXTUN.FI1236MK3 %ATICXTUN.DeviceDescP4in1%= ATICXTUN.Philips4In1, STREAM\ATICXTUN.Philips4In1 The FI1236MK3 is listed in another INF as "PHILIPSNTSC". If I download the TV Wonder Pro driver straight from ATI, the aticxwxp.inf lists %ATICXTUN.DeviceDescPMK3%= ATICXTUN.FI1236MK3, STREAM\ATICXTUN.FI1236MK3 %ATICXTUN.DeviceDescP4in1%= ATICXTUN.Philips4In1, STREAM\ATICXTUN.Philips4In1 I cannot find any further information on the "Philips4In1", whether the tuner is PAL/SECAM or whatever. When I've gone looking for tuner information in the past, it is virtually impossible to find technical info. This is the BTTV gallery. Note that this page, or the "high resolution" version, take a long time to download, and your browser will need 1GB of RAM or so, to display the results. So don't go here, if you are on a dialup connection, because it will take forever to load. As it is, I have to quit my browser when finished with this page. The gallery contains pictures of tuner and capture cards, with some info copied from the INF, or perhaps part numbers listed from the cards. http://www.bttv-gallery.de (caution - a large download / needs RAM) Paul |
