leadtek tv tuners with vista media center on vista ultimate
AM, Wednesday, 19DEC07.
Leadtek is on my -hit list.
I have Vista Ultimate. I purchased both Leadtek (PxTV1200 driver didn't work)
and I purchased Leadtek PxPVR2200 (that is suppose to have the MPEG-2 HW
encoder) 2200 driver did not work either. In fact when it did load it
showed up as a PVR3200 in the device driver list. HUH?
Both LeadTek boxes had the Windows Vista compatible logo on them.
I contact LeadTek tech support. No help. Completely worthless. New
drivers on their web site, didn't work either.
Am still trying to get a RMA from (
www.geeks.com) where I purchased both
online.
I'm giving geeks.com a few more days for my RMA (it's Christmas you know)
before adding them to my -hit list too.
Recommendation: Don't by anything more from Leadtek for Vista. I had an
old Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP that worked fine for years, with my XP box.
That's Y I purchased the new (vista compatible - HA!) boards from Leadtek.
Question: Anyone know of a TV board that will (is) working with Vista
Ultimate?
