[QUOTE="genghiskhen, post: 715539, member: 91665"] Summary. I am documenting my trials in case I get this working. It appears I have come up against multiple presumable unrelated issues. * Built new PC with Windows x64 and installed all drivers and software. * This included the ATI 650e TV tuner. * Couldn't get the ATI 650e TV tuner to receive ATSC signal although NTSC worked fine. I tried both MP and WMC. * Research indicates ATI 650e ATSC doesn't work on Windows 7 possibly due to driver issues. * Uninstalled ATI 650e and removed it. * Installed Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 and drivers. Did not install WinTV application. * MP finds ATSC channels but reception is too poor to watch. I did not have the card configured as a hybrid card yet. * WMC only finds one of my ATSC tuners. * I learn how to combine tuners on a hybrid card and do so. * MP channel scan fails (logs show card is not found although I don't know this yet). * Install WinTV application. Unclear if I need this. It scans for channels and get great reception. * Setup WMC. It now finds both ATSC tuners and get good reception. * I find the MP logs showing "No TVTuner installed" even though the card appears in the TV-Server configuration utility. * I uninstall TV-Server and select to remove user settings. * I reinstall TV-Server. This is possible by running the MP install and selecting advanced setup. My user settings appear to still be present. * I scan for ATSC channels and find some.
