Vista - Fusion 5 USB HDTV Tuner

Anyone had any luck getting this to work? I even tried their new beta
software and drivers, but I can only get part way through scanning channels
before the driver blows up. Similar problem trying it with Snapstream
Beyond TV.

I'll contact the vendor, but thought someone might have had luck.

Thanks,

Tom

I have the Fusion HDTV 2 Tuner as a PCI card in my system, and am having the
same problem regardless of what version of the software I have used since
installing the
VISTA beta, I have tried to install using the COMPATABILITY mode as WinXP,
and qot to no avail either. I get part way through the scan which seems to
be automatically trying to do a DIGITAL channel scan first, even though I
have told the
software I want it to do a ANALOG single input. Part way through the scan
it seems to be finding some sort of signal on some of the channels every 3rd
or 4th, but then
the whole thing freezes, or you know at some point that something isn't
right in Kansas, and you hault the whole thing becuase you know something
has gone astray.

I did by some freak of some odd search is was doing that seemed to imply
that I might need to have an physical ANALOG TV tuner card to be installed on
the system
and then the thing will work sucessfully, I haven't tried this yet to
confirm this but
I do happen to have a TV card that did work successfully under WinXP that I
might
be able to dig up out of my computer old card stuff laying around to
confirm that this
works. I believe I did a search using the terms "VISTA FUSION HDTV" when
I ran
into that as a possible work around.

The Fusion 5 is a software HDTV device too I believe. The Fusion HDTV 2
that I have is and that might have something to do with it.

If you get your USB Fusion to work I really want to know how you do it and
if it works
I might just replace mine, which if anyone out there has never checked
into the Fusion devices I highly recommend they look into the, they are quite
a remarkable device for the price. http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/Products/

Media Center DOES require an analog tuner configured first. It can't be the
analog side of the Fusion.

That's not my problem though. I wrote Dvico and they said they were working
on a Vista driver. Said they'd let me know.

I'm trying to get it to work with BeyondTV, not MCE, so I don't need an
analog tuner (although I have a few
