    Vista X64 Driver for PVR

    XP Pro Media Center Addition came with a personal-video-recorder hardware interface which connected to the TV or cable box. It was possible to watch TV either in a window or full screen.
    Now that i have upgraded to Vista Ultimate X64, the OS doesn't recognize the hardware.
    Is there a driver upgrade for that PVR? Thanks

    I have had a look at the homepage for media centre and there are different types of PVR made by different manaufacturers.

    What is the make and model of your PVR.

    Re: Vista X64 Driver for PVR

    Roy, Here is the information from the HP site:

    Type: Driver - Graphics
    Version: 1.00 B (22 Jul 2005)
    Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    File name: sp30923.exe (1.6 MB)


    This package contains the Adaptec Personal Video Recorder (PVR) Driver for the HP Dual TV Tuner/Digital Video Recorder connected to the listed operating systems.

    PURPOSE: Routine

    DEVICES SUPPORTED:
    HP Dual TV Tuner/Digital Video Recorder

    The only information i have found on the web is that because i am using Vista 64, the old drivers won't work. I haven't been able to find a new one. Adaptec is no longer making that model and there are not drivers.

    Thanks for helping.

    I have been on the Adaptec website and they no longer support this product.

    I have found this blog that may help Jason Tsang's Blog: Vista Beta 2 Released to Public, Media Center Implications

    Have you tried the XP64 drivers?

    Try these, manually install.

    Download HP Pavilion m7690n TV Tuner Driver Driver for Windows Vista - Softpedia

    All I can suggest is to try different drivers for USB PVR and manually install them.

    Post back your results.

    I am getting Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the older drivers will work on it. We'll see.

    Keep us updated, it is old hardware which is the main problem with new os`s.

    Will do. Forums are great. I was looking for a media card driver on an HP forum and was directed to a Leveno site for it! it worked.
