How Do I Get PBTV to Work?
I just recently became the owner of a PB Platinum 1550 ($5.00 at the local
Goodwill), and I am now trying to get the TV Tuner to work. I installed the S3 Live drivers and the PBTV software (running Windows-98), but whenever I try to run PBTV, I get the following error: Could not load the Live Video Driver This could be caused by one of the following 1) An unsupported resolution or color depth 2) A hardware failure I am pretty certain that neither of these are the cause of the problem, because: 1) I am running at 800x600 - 24 Bit Color (should be pretty standard) 2) Before I wiped the system (the previous owner had Windows-95), the PBTV program loaded just fine. So, what else could possibly be the problem? Here is my hardware configuration: CPU: Pentium-166 (upgraded from the 150 that was previously in it) RAM: 64MB (upgraded from the 48MB that was previously installed) ISA0: NIC (3Com EtherLink III - 3C509) ISA1: Sound (SB32-PnP - CT3600) PCI0: Video (S3 Virge - 86C325 - 4MB VRAM) PCI1: Empty ISA/PCI Combo Slot: TV Tuner Card - FCC: FODTVPNRP (Philips) The drivers I downloaded at driverguide.com we FODTVPNRP_software.zip pbs3_live.exe So, can anyone help me out here? I really need to see this tuner fully functioning before I upgrade the OS to Linux (hopefully there are Linux drivers for this card). Also, where can I find the manual for this system? I checked PB's site, and found nothing useful. Thanks. |
