deepu 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 I am facing a small problem with Vista. Vista is not recognising the old tv tuner card that I had. TV Tuner card is a pixelview play tv with a very popular BT 878 chip which i am sure will be there on all other cards also. Some how its not being recognised. The problem is that its not even coming up as Unknown H/W. Anybody had the same issue??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 I read somewhere that Vista doesnt recognize all TV tuner cards. There r only a few tuner cards, which works in Vista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepu 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 I had to revert back to good old Win XP due to this. I regularly record TV programs on my PC to see later. Any idea which one is the cheapest Vista supported TV Tuner card ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards. I tried all options myself.. but none is working so far.. Pixelview themselves is not providing any driver. I have also tried with other third party drivers. But none is working so far. What can one do if its not even coming as Unrecognized H/W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted May 23, 2007 ^^^ My dear Deepu as you have analogue cable connection at your place than it must work on your computer. Try using different drivers of Pixel View latest tv tuner card. May be it works on your system. Otherwise you have to revert back to XP. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepu 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 I tried all the options I could and installed all drivers I got from pixel view and even tried with generic drivers for BT878 None worked and finally had to revert to win XP Hopefully will go for another tuner after some time which has vista support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
