    Vista x64 TV Tuner with Comcast Digital Cable

    Hi. I have Comcast digital cable and until recently have been fine using my Hauppage WinTV PVR 150, and more recently 500. However, I upgraded to 4gb of ram and Vista x64, and neither card works. I am looking for a card that would let me continue using media center. I have also heard that with some cards you do not need a STB, is that true? thanks.

    -Core 2 Quad, 2.4ghz
    -4gb Ram
    -Nvidia 8500
    -Soundblaster Audigy
    -Comcast Digital Cable

    Prefer PCIe, but PCI is OK

    Have you taken out the memory and seen if the cards work again? If so then there might be a BIOS setting / update that might make 4 GB RAM work with the cards....

    send an email to Hauppage and tell them about your situation. They'll send you beta drivers for systems with 4GB of RAM. My HVR-1600 didn't work right in Vista64 with 4GB of RAM until I updated my driver to the beta version
