I have this TV tuner card installed with the proper drivers for vista home
premium. When I start Media Center, it tells me that I don't have a tuner
card installed. Am I doing something wrong or is this card not supported.

Thank you.

Are you sure that you don't just have regular Vista drivers for this card
instead of Media Center compatible drivers. I could not find any
documentation that stated that the card had an onboard MPEG2 encoder chip or
that it had drivers for use in MCE2005.
In fact I could not find any details about this card except that it
apparently was first sold over 3 years ago.

Maybe it would have been a good idea for you to have looked at the
date of the post you replied to.

It is highly unlikely that the person who started the two-post thread
is still monitoring it after MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

Houd....
suggest you start a new thread describing your problem in detail.

That answers one thing for me: you're a moron.

I think that Houd... does not realize that many of us do not save threads
that we do not want to contribute at the time to or which are out of date
and therefore does not realize that responses should always include the
content of the post being responded to if they expect to get many helpful
replies.

And you actually thought that the original poster would still be
watching the thread after its being dead for two years?

REALLY??

I certainly don't appreciate your response since I was trying to help you to
understand that responding to a 2 year old thread without containing the
full thread content or at last a description of your specific problem
details would not get you a lot of response since many of use who support
many different newsgroups do not have the disk capacity to store all
responses to all threads for several years.

The issue is that we do not know what your problem is since all we have is
your replay post of 3/21 and subject line of which does not contain any
problem details.

Since you bought the card from dell you should be using the driver from
their site not from the Aver site. I know this for I had to get the driver
for my daughter's replacement dell laptop. Explanation her replacement
laptop didn't come with the hardware or software with the new laptop for the
tuner card. So I had to go online to download driver from Dell's site and I
kept the tuner card from the original machine. The point of this story is
that Dell's version of the card doesn't have all of the features that the
card comes with and you'd be getting from Aver. Dell's card only does TV. It
isn't setup to do radio or video in.

You should go onto Dell's Forum and look up the card. They tell you this
there. In fact if you read the page that your link takes you to, it tells
you to download the driver from Dell's site not from Aver's.

In conclusion if you use the proper driver the card does work. The only
thing I do recommend is that you use a good antenna. Also Aver's help is
very helpful. I put one of their PCIe TV cards into my new Dell XPS Studio
and needed their assistance in finding the proper Aver Media Center
application. Within no time they were able to help me and I now have the
proper application on my pc.
