863218 2010-03-02 22:12:00 Hey I have an old miroVIDEO PCTV pro tv tuner card, I am trying to get it to work in a machine that runs windows XP but I am not having very much luck. Any ideas? nedkelly (9059)
863219 2010-03-02 22:15:00 Have you installed the drivers and the program, if it came with one? Speedy Gonzales (78)
863220 2010-03-02 22:17:00 The original disk was made for 95 and NT. And it does not like trying to install on xp. So I have been looking around for the drivers, found some installed them, grabbed a PVR program and nothing shows up. Even said no devices found. nedkelly (9059)
863221 2010-03-02 22:22:00 Google yields these

863222 2010-03-02 22:26:00 Looks like it has something to do with pinnacle systems. Might be one of these (www.pctvsystems.com) under internal PCI Speedy Gonzales (78)
863223 2010-03-02 22:33:00 Yeah I have seen those links on google but it has not worked.
When it first came out it was not from Pinnacle but they bought out the company.

863224 2010-03-02 22:35:00 I dont think it works with XP. So, you'll have to buy something else. Unless there's something @ the windowsupdate site. Some BT878 driver may work. I think thats the chipset in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
863225 2010-03-02 22:36:00 Generic BT chipset driver

your card is on the supported list;)

863226 2010-03-02 22:40:00 I would check the card to see what it says but it is in the pc I am using right now. nedkelly (9059)
863227 2010-03-02 22:40:00 Yeah I tried that generic driver and still nothing showed up in the PVR software. nedkelly (9059)
