| 603423 | 2007-10-20 19:56:00 | HI have just installed vista home premium, I have a flyvideo 3000 tv tuner card, but does not want to work with media center, have installed all widnows updates, and checked out lifeview web site which says the card should work fine and link for a driver but link does no exist, anyone out there had same problem? |

| 603424 | 2007-10-20 20:42:00 | Hi there When you say it does not work, what are the symptoms/errors? You could try and right click on media center when starting and "run as administrator". This has solved some of my problems in the past with viewing live TV. I'm not quite sure why yet but worth a go. |

| 603425 | 2007-10-20 20:45:00 | will try that, but media center cannot find a supported tv tuner, and wont even let me tune in tv channels | ewendudson (12081) | ||
| 603426 | 2007-10-20 21:01:00 | will try that, but media center cannot find a supported tv tuner, and wont even let me tune in tv channels Have you loaded the Vista drivers / software? & do you have the TV source connected to the tuner card eg: sky decoder? |

| 603427 | 2007-10-20 21:33:00 | yes, i have update windows vista, and have the pc conected to the tv socket, lifeview, says that there is a driver TVR5.4.0.400 for vista (www.lifeview.com) but no download | ewendudson (12081) | ||
| 603428 | 2007-10-20 21:36:00 | Well you'll have to get the tuner driver somehow, or it'll never work. Email Lifeview, and ask them how to get the right driver. And tell them their link is dead. Or try another country for the download. |

| 603429 | 2007-10-21 11:07:00 | thanks for the advice, went through www.lifeview.com pretty much every link doesnt work Is there any other site that might have the driver that i need |

| 603430 | 2007-10-21 20:53:00 | Other sites may have a driver, BUT it may not work with Vista. I would email Lifeview. Ask them to give you a working link. |

| 603431 | 2007-10-21 22:12:00 | Hi, it's likely that this card will work with Vista, but not with media center, as vista media center has inherited the rather strict requirements for capture cards from earlier versions. Movie maker will probably let you capture video, but media center wont let you use it as a PVR card. | BIFF (1) | ||
| 603432 | 2007-10-22 07:29:00 | I've got an ATI tuner card that works with media centre, but the card won't pick up UHF. don't know why, it doesn't with the theatre 500 software either. That's the same for xp & vista. I've also got a TV2000 expert card. Even using the vista drivers from the leadtek site, media centre says that there isn't a TV card installed. Although it's there in device manager. If I use the winfast PVR2 software it works really well & with a better picture than the other card through media centre. So it must be that MS didn't bother with cards older than a certain date + the US is all digital, not still in the dark ages |
