05/12/2002. JTV 3.0 wip 12.6 packs (zip and exe) are updated. Configurations of the equipment "FlyVideo Generic" and "Aver VCR Generic" are added.
Basis of the first configuration is the same RCU driver, mentioned before (04/30). By available tables of codes of RCU buttons and to files of adjustment of the equipment, this configuration should suit TV cards LifeView FlyVideo 98/II, Genius Video Wonder Pro II V2, Eline Vision TV Master and similar.

This configuration should suit all TV cards from AVerMedia, which have RCU buttons for VCR functions (Record, Stop, Play, Pause). This is all AverTV Studio models and Aver TVPhone(Capture)98 w/VCR.

04/30/2002. The owners of TV cards built on controllers SAA7130/7134 (LifeView FlyVideo 2000/2100/3000/3100, Chronos Video Shuttle II, KWorld KW-TV878RF etc.), which becomes more and more, can try the program Fly2000 (Russian language yet), created by Andrew Zolotarev. I can not try it myself, however screenshots represented on a site Tuner looks very nice.
Keep in mind, that many models of TV cards are released as with the controller Philips SAA7130/7134, and Conexant Bt878 now. For a chip type definition of the controller use bT8x8 ChipCheck.

As well as btTool v5, it allows to get codes of the main registers of TV-cards based on bt8x8 controllers and can be used when cards customization and creation of RCU drivers. It works with all versions of Windows. Short of disadvantage absence of value of the register I2CAddress, it is very convenient.
Especially pleasantly is that, the creation of the description for a TV-card and RCU is combined with input of codes of RCU buttons in the same window of the program, and the text, done in result, can be edited or rewrited at any moment. The version BtTest 2j with added for JTV and JTVRemote description is placed on the site. While compilation of the table for codes of RCU buttons, it is most conveniently to use this program.

The RCU driver for TV-card Eline Vision TVMaster is created and laid out. Key codes was sent by Emma. While engineering, it was found out, that this driver should be suit also for Genuis Video Wonder Pro II V2/FM and other FlyVideo98 compatible models.

It would be desirable to receive the information from the owners of the indicated models about suitability of the new driver in matching with old.

At its usage, the possibility of incorrect customization of language files and JTV configuration file, for selected language, is minimazed. The optimal customization assumes choice only one of possible languages, not including English. However not all languages have a complete set of the translated language units, therefore in the texts of dialog boxes there can be those or other blanks, or wrong simbols.
The package JTV3W126. ZIP is accordingly refreshed. The fine corrections and additions directed to compatibility with EXE package are brought in.

Borg continues to injoy community with new releases of the programs. As to bTV Pro 2.0, I always have some reason problems with this program, but bRadio Pro 2.1 it is pleasant to me. It became quite compatible with JTVRemote, any errors I do not notice. As well as JTV, uses the own driver for operation with TV-card and works under Win9x/ME/NT/2k/XP. There is a list, customized for Moscow, of radio stations. Only why the author strongly has limited application of the keyboard for handle of the program - not clearly. It prevents valuable usage of a remote control. From features of the distribution kits it would be desirable to mark presence in them btTool v5 - tool for review of values of the registers of the chip BT848/878 in any Windows system. Other such utility I do not know.
