| Support Status | MythTV works with this card. However the card does not have a hardware encoder, so watching/recording TV will be CPU intensive. |
| Driver | V4L bttv driver for pre-Expert cards. See also [1] |
| Sound Driver | btaudio or snd-bt87x |
| Chipset | Fusion 878A for pre-Expert cards. CX2388X for Expert model |
Description
Single-tuner PCI card with no hardware encoder.
The card comes in several versions:
WinFast TV2000 XP Expert (current generation)
The Deluxe model is just like the FM model but has a Remote Control included. The remote works using RF to a serial cable plugging into the card. It uses the Fusion 878A chipset
The RM model loses the radio, but keeps Remote Control
The RM (OEM) uses a different form factor (shorter PCB)
The Expert model uses the CX2388X chipset and includes worldwide radio support.

Issues and Problems
Having problems getting sound out of a WinFast TV2000 XP Deluxe card. The video works fine.
Winfast 1000T remote does work with lirc 0.8, however some patches to the v4l-dvb code need to be applied.
- Having problems using this card with mythtv. It works fine with tvtime for example.
- How can I improve resolution? The TV image is not very clear. Iam using " options bttv card=34 tuner=2 " in etc/modules - Thanks

User Experiences
If you have this card, speak up! This is a good place to note your experiences - ease of install, what you like, what's not to like, etc.
With KnoppMyth R5E50 and R5F1, the WinFast DTV1000 works out of the box, with the exception of the remote.
On Ubuntu (Feisty) and the Winfast DTV1000 or the Winfast DTV2000H you have to load the module cx88-dvb to get the digital tuner to work. To do this automatically upon startup type:
sudo echo "cx88-dvb" >> /etc/modules
I have the expert version and after several days of trolling through forums and wikis and other places on the web I am still unable to get this thing to work. I wish someone would post something that can help the Expert user.
