Video input on Radeon 3850 with Vista?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
Jason T asked:


I’m looking at a Radeon 3850 video card to put in my media center PC. It says it has a VIVO port for video input but does anyone know if that port works with Vista?

I know the All-in-wonder cards do not work with Vista. I’m hoping this card can take the signal from my satellite box and put it through to the monitor.

Any ideas?
