Hi,

I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Vista. Unfortunately the Windows
Media Center on my Vaio (VGC-RA828G) is not recognizing the factory installed
Tuner card (Giga Pocket® MPEG2 Realtime Encoder/Decoder board with TV Tuner).
I called Microsoft and they tell me I have to go to Sony. I called Sony and
they tell me to uninstall Vista.

So my questions is... Is there some other (preferably free) DVR software
that I can now use on my newly Vista installed Vaio machine that will also
work with my Tuner card (Giga Pocket® MPEG2 Realtime Encoder/Decoder board
with TV Tuner)?

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

thanks,
Matt

Media Portal. It's a bit of ****ing about to get the EPG working as
it;s a seperate application which needs configuring in a true Linux
stylee but it's Open Source and works very well.
