The drivers for this new Dazzle DVD Recorder USB device won't install to my Win2k machine. I knew it didn't have support but I hoped it'd still install. Anyone know if this is possible?
I'm trying to get the output from my DirecTV box into my PC so I don't have to buy a new TV to watch it in my bedroom. I don't need a tuner, since I'll be using the box and I don't care about recording it. I just want to use my PC to view the output of the DirecTV box. Doesn't seem that complicated but apparently it is.
Anyone have a better, cheap idea if this won't work? I have an old ATI TV Wonder VE card installed but never could get it to work either.
Thanks.
Jason

Check the Dazzel support site for a Win2k driver. If you have a PCI slot most any BT tuner card will have Win2K drivers.

Yeah, the support site only has the same XP or Vista drivers that came with the device. I know the PCI cards should have the support, but like I said, the one I already have I can't get to work and I'm on my second capture device. I'd like to hear if anyone has had any luck with a simple, cheap solution. If it's more than $100 I'm inclined to just buy a dang TV.
Thanks,

Consider a LCD/TV that has a tuner AND can double as a bigger/nicer computer monitor. That's my suggestion. Might run $300 or so.
Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Where can I find one of those for $300? I can find the TVs or the Monitors but haven't seen one that will do both.
Thanks. -
Try "Pinnacle Studio". It contains more drivers than its website's list. Good luck.

Thanks genki500, but are you suggeting I should buy the $100 Pinnacle Studio software with the hopes that it will have a Windows 2000 driver for my $50 Dazzle device? If I've got to spend $150 I'd rather just buy an LCD TV. If I misunderstood please let me know.
Thanks.
