Vista Mediacenter supported TV tuners... do they work on Business?

[Noozer]

If I have a TV tuner that is natively supported by Windows Vista Ultimate or
Home Premium for Mediacenter functionality, do the same drivers come with
Vista Business? Will Vista install drivers and I can just install a TV
viewing program?

Hi,

The business version does not include any of the media center capabilities,
though drivers included in Vista are pretty much the same for all versions.

I think MC uses what are called BDA drivers, and the TV viewing program
won't necessarily use the same type of drivers.

Your best bet is probably to install and use the TV viewing program that is
supplied or made available by tuner card vendor. for Vista For example I
use the Hauppauge WinTV viewing program on my Vista Ultimate system for my
Hauppauge MC compatible tuner card.
