Spirit SCP1000 PCI TV Tuner
---------------------------
Chip: bt878a (Bt878a Fusion)
Tuner: tpi8psb12p (*)
       DScaler uses "LG TAPC-new (PAL)"
PCB: IT-005 Rev:B2

* - This tuner is off a Rev:B1 PCB, according to http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/bttv/bttv-gallery.html (Bloody huge page, I downloaded an off-line copy and it comes in at around 33mb).

I have a Revision 2 PCB and DScaler/BtWinCap use  "LG TAPC-new (PAL)"/"LG PAL (TAPC series)" respectively to operate the tuner portion of my card. (Closest match DScaler or BtWinCap had to the tpi8psb12p was a tpi8psb11D, which wouldn't work on my card.)

---------------------------
BtWinCap Installation:
---------------------------
Video Capture Card: [010] - Hauppauge (Bt878 Based)
TV Tuner Model: [035] - LG PAL (TAPC series)
TDA985A: No
Can Natively tune FM: No
Can't tune FM but try: Up to you :) (It does try, but you're better off turning on a real radio lol)

Found these out by trial and error, and I thought someone else out there might find this information useful.

P.S: Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I thought it seemed the better choice of the two :)
