[jordanpsmith]

Hi all,

I have tried getting the above card to work. For some reason the configuration utility crashes when i do a channel scan. Has anyone got any ideas for me to try? the card uses a philips SAA7130 chipset.

thanks,

Same problem here

Same Card, same problem with the card not showing up under detected devices. the only thing there is my computer name and i try to click on it and it does nothing. So far this is the only approximate match to my problem.

Same Card Same Problem

I have the same tuner card and the configuration doesn't find it, kinda sucks since under supported card it says philips. I went thru the capturecarddefinitions xml file and the tvtuner chipset (SAA7130) is in there, yet i have no idea why it isnt working.... depression since so far everything else has worked fine.
