| 473200 | 2006-07-24 22:26:00 | :waughh: I have recently got a new computer and it came with a Hauppauge TV Card. My problem is that I cant get it working and dont know anyone who knows how. I am not even sure that I have the enough cables plugged in. The TV card is there and installed. I have WinTV2000 software etc installed. I have an antenna plugged in. But I cannot scan and get any channels. I do not know what the settings should be regarding PAL etc so I have tried several combinations with no result. When I scan it just comes up with a blue screen, it looks like it is doing something but doesn't find any channels. My pc is a 3200+, 160Gb HDD, 1Gb RAM and I run WinXP-SP2 and have a broadband internet connection. Can anyone offer any advice? It sure would be greatly received. :D | Tedotcom (10808) | ||

| 473203 | 2006-07-25 08:31:00 | Do you know the exact model of the card? What cables are plugged in? (where do the come from/go to) By antenna, what do you mean? (bunny ears or actual antenna on the roof) BTW welcome to PF1 :thumbs: |

| 473204 | 2006-07-25 10:36:00 | Did the Winfast software come with this tuner?? Somehow I dont think so. Isnt this software for Leadtek tuners? ie: The Deluxe/Expert tuners etc. This maybe the reason why its crashing. The Winfast software wasnt made for the Hauppauge tuners. |

| 473207 | 2006-07-25 11:15:00 | Ah ok then. Sounds like u didnt install the drivers, if it cant find any channels. Did you install the drivers then the program, or the other way round Ted? And does the blue screen give u the name of a file / driver? |

| 473208 | 2006-07-26 22:25:00 | Hi Thanks for all your comments. I only have one cable that comes out of the card and goes to my bunny ears. I think I have a problem with the driver as in Device Manager it comes up with a yellow explanation mark and says that "the device cannot start (code 10)". I have tried to update the driver from the nvidia website but it doesn't change anything. I am sorry but dont know the exact model of the card, I have a clear perspect case and there is a sticker on the card that says "model 6600 PCI-E 256MB TV-OUT DVI Ledgend NV6600P"? The regional/languages option is set to NZ. I have got the install instructions and downloaded the manual for it but I think I have to correct this Device Manager some how? At least I am slowly getting down the list of possibilities of errors to hopefully the right one. Any advice on what I can do with the Device Manager error? |

| 473209 | 2006-07-26 23:14:00 | That is the graphics card, and if you have connected the bunny ears to that, then it is not a surprise that you are not getting a signal, as the graphics card is not a TV Tuner. And also, if this is the Hauppauge TV Tuner you are talking about you can not update it from the nVidia site as they are different manufacturers, nVidia don't even make TV Tuners... |
