Is it possible use ProgDVB with the Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro PCI (450i Stargate) under Windows 2000? Or is WinXP really a must?
At Install, I declared PCTV 400i - the card is bound into the system and seems to run correctly - but ProgDVB reports "Device not started"-Error.

Afaik Xp ist a must because BDA based Cards don´t run proper under W2K

As you can read xxx times here in this forum...as every card that run on bda drivers you have to choose a BDA Device in device list...
WinXP is not a must with the Pinnacle-Card!!!

I installed DVBcore MyTheater now (under Win2k) without any change in the card-driver ... and the Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro PCI (450i Stargate) runs nicely with it!!!

It did not work with every display-card I tried. But - the most important thing: the Pinnacle-Card works unter win2k - even if pinnacle says it does not. To download the driver of even not 150kb, it is necessary to download the big media-center-software of nearly 300MB!
I'd prefer to run it with ProgDVB...
