| | Vista Mediacenter supported TV tuners... do they work on Business? If I have a TV tuner that is natively supported by Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium for Mediacenter functionality, do the same drivers come with Vista Business? Will Vista install drivers and I can just install a TV viewing program? |

Hi, The business version does not include any of the media center capabilities, though drivers included in Vista are pretty much the same for all versions. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Noozer" <dont.spam@me.here> wrote in message news:OMVS%23gQbHHA.1388@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > If I have a TV tuner that is natively supported by Windows Vista Ultimate > or Home Premium for Mediacenter functionality, do the same drivers come > with Vista Business?

| | Re: Vista Mediacenter supported TV tuners... do they work on Business? Your best bet is probably to install and use the TV viewing program that is supplied or made available by tuner card vendor. for Vista For example I use the Hauppauge WinTV viewing program on my Vista Ultimate system for my Hauppauge MC compatible tuner card.
