Re: [linux-dvb] Leadtek Winfast PxDVR 3200 H

[Mark Carbonaro <mark@carbonaro.org>]

Hi Jon,

I just added some photos to the wiki that I took of my 3200 about a month ago, it's just some close ups of the chips.  I forgot all about them until you posted this message, figured I should probably pull my finger out and upload them.

I haven't taken the shielding off the card, I can only assume there is a tuner in there, I will crack it open on of these days and take note (and photos) of what is inside.

Hi Stephen

There was already a page of sorts:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_Winfast_PxDVR_3200_H
I've added to it. I don't have winodws on that machine, but it apears
someone has done that for me already.
I have some more photos, of even higher res is you want them, but won't
clutter up everyone's inbox if not need/ wanted.

Cheers

Jon
