My friend got this working on windows 7 by installing some older drivers he saw recommended here but I can't find the post he is talking about and was hoping someone with the same card could point me in the right direction. I can get it to scan it just doesn't find anything.

Thanks in advance. :D

    Hi there

    Can't see anything either. Could you please post your TV Server logs - it should give us a clue about why channels aren't being found.

    Hi Zeddarius

    I don't know how I missed your response, but I did and I apologize. :sorry:
    Your logs look good to me. TV Server recognizes the tuner and I can see that you manage to complete a full scan. The only problem is that channels the tuner didn't find any channels. Have you tried doing a clear QAM scan rather than an ATSC scan?

    Note: make sure that you set the tuner up as a hybrid if you intend to use the analog side of it. Instructions for that here...

    I tried all the QAM settings too to no avail. I think maybe this card just isn't working properly. Other people seem to have the same trouble with it in media center and media portal but I know for a fact my friend had it working in windows 7. He can't seem to tell me the HOW though. He did say it required some specific drivers but I can't seem to find any other ones for XP.
    I'll attach the new logs.
