I have this Tuner Card in a Gateway 832GM. Under XP MCE it worked perfectly.
Vista sees the card and installs drivers for it, but MC does not see the
tuner. I've even plugged my Angel USB Tuner in and have the same results. I'm
fairly positive that this is a MC issue and not a Vista issue. Is there a way
to roll back Media Center?

So you installed Vista yourself, it didn't come pre-installed?

OK, chances are it's a driver issue as Hauppauge had a few problems
with Vista compatibility at first. Get the latest driver from
http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_pvr150.html (don't
worry about the WinTV2000 app unless you really want to run it) and
follow the instructions for using HCWCLEAR.EXE to remove the old
version first.

That should sort you out.

Unfortunately I use MC as a Tivo-type solution for programs that run while
I'm working. WinTV doesn't appear to allow this since you can't use a guide
with it. Thank you for the post though.

I have already gone through this proceedure. This is a problem with MC not
the drivers. I've attempted two different tuners and the same issue shows up
in MC. Vista sees the hardware properly but MC does not see it.

Thanks for the post in any case.
 
Use GB-PVR if you need a TV Guide. I could never get WinTV to work with my
Satellite setup, but GB-PVR worked flawlessly on Vista X64.
 
Thanks Keith! This appears to work perfectly. WinTV was problematic at best
(not to mention not having the guide for future recording). GB-PVR was a bit
more extensive to setup, but works almost exactly like WMC.

Do you have Nero 7 installed? I installed Nero 7 and it hosed my relation
between Vista MCE and my haupagge card. Eneded up doing a clean install of
vista, and not it happily co-operates with my Win TV PVR 150.
