The problem is that I just got a Diamond tvw650pcie card from Dell this past week.

And it didn't come with an owners manual or drivers disc, or software disc.

I called up Dell and they are replacing the entire package, but I hate to have to wait another week.

So I downloaded several different older drivers, media centers, etc.

One was the Snaptstream Beyond TV trial program, which worked.

I spent a couple of days on this, and long story short, I'm not positive that I still had the
correct ATI driver installed when I installed MediaPortal.
But the Beyond TV app was working properly though, so I think I did.

Meanwhile, I noticed after I installed the MediaPortal that quite a bit of stuff related to
sql server software was installed.

So assuming that I simply did not have the ATI driver installed, can you tell me
what I need to install to just get the tv tuner to work?

All I want to do is watch tv on my pc. I don't even have immediate plans on recording programs.
Just watching them.
