Operating System hauppauge drivers and windows 7 (1 Viewer)

[gloomyandy]

Folks,
I'm about to switch my HTPC to Windows 7 and I'm trying to gather up all the bits I need. Do I need drivers fro my hauppauge DVB-T and DVB-S cards or does Windows 7 (ultimate) support them out of the box? Also are there any other must have add ons for Windows 7 I should grab while I have access to a higher speed connection then I have at home...

Thanks

Andy

Can now answer my own question. Windows 7 comes with pretty much all of the drivers I needed. The only thing I had to download was an updated graphics driver...

You have to install the drivers. I usually grab them from Hauppauge Computer Works Ltd.

Hi Simone,
Much to my surprise I did not have to add any drivers for either of my cards. Windows 7 discovered them and went ahead and installed drivers that seem to be working fine (so far)... Do you think there is any advantage to updating them?

Thanks

Andy
