I have this old Spirit TV Tuner/ Video Capture Card (sold by Dick Smith Electronics back in 1998) which I wanted to get up and running on a Pentium 3 (733MHz) system I had recently acquired. The problem is this card was designed to work with Windows 95/98/ME operating systems so there were no official drivers or support for later versions of Windows.
This TV tuner card uses the Brooktree BT848 chipset and the tv tuner model Temic FH5 4002 B/G.
I came across a third party solution - the BTWinCap project - which provided me with a driver to install the tuner card in Windows XP.
Before I could watch TV on this system I needed a tv tuning software to make use of the installed card. After some searching I settled on The FlyDS; a MS DirectShow based software for watching video from a tv tuner card, among other features. The latest version of The FlyDS can be downloaded from http://www.asvzzz.com.
Has anyone come across other tv tuning software (for Windows XP) which supports a BT848-based tv tuner card?
