I'm trying to get my external TV tuner to work with MP. I have the kind that comes standard with a Toshiba MCE laptop, the device manager calls it a Toshiba style Bay TV Tuner Kit. I'm sorry I didn't fill out the template completely, as I'm not sure of some of it. I'm no power-user when it comes to the computer...I just recently downloaded the drivers for my USB tuner today, but for some reason MP fails to see the tuner at all. Any idea what is going on? Any help would be appreciated! Oh, and my version of MP is the most current one as of 10/8/2007, I got that today too.

Nevermind, had the drivers for the wrong TV tuner installed . This time, I searched for the drivers for the tuner's exact name, and found just the right one. No idea if the program will work or not, but hey, at least I'm in the front door. Now when I get my computer recharged, I can see if the program works...
