Leadtek tv2000xp expert problem in WMC

[nolan md]

hello... I am running Vista Home Premium and would like to use Windows Media
Center to run my tv tuner. I installed a "Leadtek tv2000xp expert" and it is
working properly using it's proprietary software, Winfast PVR2. If I try to
set up WMC to use it, it says that ther is no tv tuner installed in the
computer..

i would great appreciate any help in this matter.

Your tuner uses software encoding and does not have support for Media
Center2005 or Vista MC it is only supported using its own software.

Does it mean then that there is no way to interface it with the media center?
Can you recommend a tv tuner card that works with vista MC? thanks.

You may want to get one of the newer MC compatible combo analog and OTA ATSC
digital cards such as a Hauppauge 1600 or 1800 or an Avernedia combo PCI
card instead of just an analog card
