Way to go 3DFX.. less than 100 hours now before the official public release of Windows 2000, and you still have no drivers available for the TV Tuner portion of the card. What are you guys smoking? If you have any extra.. send it to me! If someone knows of some "home made" drivers that work for this.. feel free to leave a link. Doc

At least the people at 3DFX have said that they are doing developement on it.. http://www.3dfxgamers.com/boards.asp?BOID=11&THID=30054&boardsort=lastpost&boardpage=1 and for the last time.. NO THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SUPPORT FOR THE TV TUNER IN THIS CARD IN WINDOWS 2000! NOT WITH ANY DRIVERS - BETA OR NOT. NONE WHATSOEVER! NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS! Doc

If it were that simple I wouldn't have axed.. I have done some research on it, and the TV Tuner on this board appears to be the same exact tuner that STB used to sell as the "Desktop TV" product. Not surprising, since STB was bought out by 3DFX. http://www.stb.com/products/multimedia/tvpci/tvpci.html It's a Phillips tuner. The video capture part of your board has nothing to do with a TV tuner.. Doc

The stuff at that site is to support the cards that have TV out.. this card has a TV tuner.. As far as I can tell, there is no mention of tuner support.

chamelions? Does anyone have a URL for that? I was a good boy and did a search on this UBB for that word, and it only showed up in this thread. Doc

Look... Windows 2000 is hands down the best work yet by Microsoft.. The people at these hardware manufacturers should have placed themselves far enough ahead of the curve to be prepared for it. I am an avid 3DFX supporter.. have been since the original Voodoo card. It just bothers me that there is no mention of drivers for it at all. If there are beta drivers.. let me know.. I ran betas of Win2k, and plan on having my hands on a copy the day it hits the shelves! I would just like to get the $$ out of this card. If I wanted to only use the normal video side of it, I would have bought a 3000. After running through the betas of win2k which were fantastic, having to go back to Win98 is torture. BTW: The Hauppage wintv Theater DBX has beta drivers for Win2k that work..
