Vista + Tv Tuner Problem

Recommended Posts

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???

I read somewhere that Vista doesnt recognize all TV tuner cards. There r only a few tuner cards, which works in Vista. ;)

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 ?

My dear friends My Pinnacle PCTV card, which is also a very old card, is working fine under Windows Vista.

Dear Deepu, before reverting back to XP, you must try googling on this matter, may be your problem get solved.

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 :confuse::confuse:

@deepu

Which cable connection are you having at your home ? Is it an Analogue Cable connection or is it Digital Dish TV like ?

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.

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 :grin:

Hopefully will go for another tuner after some time which has vista support
