259980 2004-08-09 21:04:00 Does any1 have any experiance with PixelView PlayTV pRo cards? I bought one today and i cant seem to get it to work. After installing the software I should be able to watch tv straight away (no tuning). All the channels are fuzzy (i dont mean fuzzy picture, I mean no picture just fuzz). The radio on the other hand works great :/.

Im running winxp pro sp1 on a7n8x dlx. The card is hooked up to an amplified antenna.

Im guessing its conflicting with windows somehow, I've tried ALOT of different drivers.

259981 2004-08-09 21:26:00 I'd be amazed if this thing was pretuned for NZ. I suspect that there is a channel scan somewhere in the setup. I Have a pixelview HD card and I had to do the scan trick before I could watch anything. Recording what I was watching was al togetrher another challenge paulw (1826)
259982 2004-08-09 22:29:00 I'd also check the inputs are set to Air and not Cable, that's often a "gotcha" for me :-) Chilling_Silence (9)

Is your amplified antenna an internal jobbie, or a proper outside antenna that produces good clean pictures on a TV set?

Anything less is unlikely to work well with a TV card.
