Vista Media Centre

[Guest]

Basically, I have just upgraded (Clean Install) to vista Ultimate. XP Media
centre allowed for manual choosing of Cable (+/- Hrc) amd Antenna for
"Scanning for Services", but when i try and set-up media centre for TV in
vista it will not allow me to choose, It automatically sets Antenna which is
wrong. I have run the set-up several times from multiple directions including
and excluding the EPG. I have used windows drivers for the TV tuner, and i
also went to the Advent support website (My computers manufacturer) for the
latest drivers. My card is listed as compatible.
PC : Advent T9207a
Tuner Card Driver: Medion SAA7131, Hybrid Capture Device.
Actual Model : Creatix 7131E Analogue/Digital TV tuner (CTX953)

I Noticed that someone else has posted a question regarding this problem in
this froum, but that question went un-answered. i hope that this one will not.
Many Fanx.
