Vista - No Tv tuner configurated

Hi there,

i have a very anoying tv tuner problem. After rebooting my computer Media
center tells me that no tv tuner is configurated.
So every time again i reconfigure the tuner and my tv runs normal and
great...but as soon as i reboot, i have to reconfigure it again.

Can anyone tell me what i should do to avoid this problem?

thnx

Make/model of tuner?

Are you sure about the model no. of the Hauppauge card?

You can find the latest drivers for Hauppauge cards on this UK site (I live in
the US, but these UK drivers work very well):

From searching both Hauppauge sites for 26xx, it seems that this is the PVR
150.

I would go for the UK site download, the US site offers much older drivers.

P.SO.: Follow the very well written and illustrated driver install instruction
to the letter.

Also don't say/type "configurated" - or you'll sound like George W. Bush ;-)
It's "configured".

You might like to use the free AMCAP mini-app to try to lock the tuner
outside of WMC too.

Good luck and let us know if any of this helped to solve your problem...

Hi guys, thnx for helping me out.

unfortunately, so far no results.
so far i tried to install the new drivers- no result and found out this post;

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...2-b691fcd627bb

I did what it said but also that has no effect.
Since then i found out that what my computer is doing is that it reinstalls
the hardware drivers from my tv tuner every time i reboot.
When starting up i get the rightdownside message that vista found new
hardware and is installing accordingly (i cant interfere or cancel that with
via a menu)

So it seems that due to the reinstallment of my tvtuner my previous setup is
lost time and time again wich seems fairly reasonable to me.

So i guess the question then is how can i stop that reinstall process? (by
the way my tv tuner is on the inbuild motherboard and so its no outside usb
item or so)

Have you checked to be sure you have latest BIOS for your MOBO?
Since you have a MOBO installed tuner check for Vista drivers for it with
your MOBO manufacturer. The standard Hauppauge drivers may not work with
properly as you have found.
