Vista - Media Centre can't find Pinnacle TV Rave tuner c ard

Hi all,

I'm running Beta 2 Build 5384, and trying to use the Media Centre to watch
TV on my Pinnacle TVRave tuner card, but Media Centre kicks out an error
saying that no tuner hardware was detected!
The drivers for the card were dowloaded by Vista through Update, so should
be good, & the device shows up in control panel without any conflicts or
errors.
Any ideas how I can get it running?

Cheers!

I have read that there are just a few tv-tiners that work in Vista right now.
You have to wait for RC1. My ATI tv-tuner does not works also.

If the card isn't hardware mpeg2 you can't.

I can not find any reference to your card working with MCE or with Vista
Media Center;

From the following at the Pinnacle Website it appearas that it will only
work with the Pinnacle Application that came with the card.
