[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 934006, member: 82144"] Hello again It is not that your tuner is not good enough. Rather, it is that I've read threads that indicate that tuners like yours are not recognised or don't work correctly in MP. Just search the forum for terms like "ViXS", "VistaView", "Saber" and you'll see what I mean. I think you already said that the tuner is listed in device manager, so that means it is plugged in correctly. In other words, [B]no need to check.[/B] If you really want to check, shutdown and unplug the power from your PC. Then open up the PC and look for a card that slots into the motherboard, near where you connect the cable from the aerial. I suspect it might look a little like this: [url]http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ViXS_PureTV-U_48A3[/url] BDA = broadcast driver architecture WDM = Windows driver model As far as I can tell ViXS is a manufacturer of chips that are used for tuners: [url]http://www.vixs.com[/url] I think they probably design tuner cards that OEM PC manufacturers (like Dell, HP, Gateway and Asus) manufacture and put in their PCs. Evidence: [URL='http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCI_Cards#Currently_Unsupported_ATSC_PCI_cards:']http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCI_Cards#Currently_Unsupported_ATSC_PCI_cards[/URL] You're more likely to get drivers from your PC manufacturer (for example Asus). Please tell us the "brand" and model number for your PC. Unless the tuner has fried itself (which is possible I guess) there is no need to buy a new tuner. I think the TV tuner will be a separate card. As above, [B]please post the brand and model number of the PC.[/B] Your tuner should work in MP since it used to work in WMC. I'm not sure whether it will work well, but it should at least be recognised. Finding a good driver could be hard. [/QUOTE]
