[QUOTE="m0deth, post: 212863, member: 28342"] Unless you have a motherboard with an OCUR bios....you can forget getting that tuner to work, nevermind that you HAVE to use Vista, and even then, stories of getting these to work with the cable companies is tenuous at best, a complete waste of time/money at worst. You can thank MS, Hollywood, and Cable Labs for this DRM nightmare. These tuners are still subject to 5C encoding and thusly, even when you DO manage to get it to work, you may find it still won't record the show/movie you wish to. This product was designed to NEVER work with open source software, or even commercial software for that matter beyond VistaMCE. I can help with any testing you need done.....my email is m0deth AT gmail.com, feel free to run ideas by me, any help I can provide, what limited it may be, will be forthcoming. At this point, for the north american market, I'd stick to focusing on ATSC, QAM dig over cable unencrypted, DigSat cards and the like, oh, also, the HD Homerun....which seems to work dandy for alot of people for some unencrypted channels. Tearing up VLC may not help, My guess is the maybe deconstructing the firestb.msi collection and figuring out how it talks to the guide and takes commands from MCE would be a better first step, if we can mimmick those to MP commands, then the TV3 engine might handle it. Once again, guesses on my part. Hope this helps thx m0 [/QUOTE]
