TV Tuner

Yesterday I brought a TV tuner (PixelView PlayTV 405 DVD - Vista ready - external aparat, USB connection) for my Windows Vista Ultimate. It runs OK on desktop, but, if I try use Media Center I receive an information about none TV tuner instaled!

How about for this? Any solution for round up this problem?

Thanks,

Paulo

Re: TV Tuner

Contact the manufacturer of the device about that issue.

Re: TV Tuner

I have a Pinnacle USB TV Tuner and it came with special software to load to use the Media Center. Of course it also came with it's own software too.

In my experience not all TV Tuners will work with Media Center i'm afraid.
Unless the manufacturers can release an update that says it will work with
Media Center then you will need ot use the software supplied with the card.
The latest drivers appear to be available from Prolink here

correct model)
