Is there anyone that's running a t.v. tuner card under windows 7 64-bit? Ive been using an old comp usa tv tuner card that I got for christmas a few years back but it doesn't support Vista 64 or Windows 7 64.

my ATI theater 650 pro appears to be working just fine. i installed no drivers except those that win 7 found & installed; Media Center recognized both tuners.
somewhat surprisingly, Media Center in W7 is also able to tune in one weak analog channel that my vista x64 installation won't; on the digital side, no difference betw the two OS's.

I am trying to use composite video in on windows 7 with the HD650 hybrid. It doesn't work for some reason but the tuner part picks up signals fine. can You check if yours works?

I'm a huge supporter of the Hauppauge 2250. I have two- one in each of my Win7 64-bit machines.

MC requires composite to be configured as a set-top box with an IR controller ("IR Blaster" ), ostensibly to allow MC to control the device providing the video. In the case of a non-tunable composite video source, this requirement is, of course, ridiculous. If you happen to have an IR blaster, connect it and configure the "set-top box" in MC; otherwise, use the software provided with the card, or use 3rd party software, to access the composite input.

I hate this mis-feature something fierce, but i'm still adding a 2nd 650 to my system; after REALLY using W7 for a bit now, I've decided that lack of composite input in MC is farther down on my bitch-list than other of W7 mis-features.

Mind if I ask how much Ram you have in your 64Bit Windows 7 setup? The Hauppauge PVR-150 chokes if you have more than 3 Gigs of ram. I just bought 8 and dont want to go backwards. :-)

Living in New Zealand means DVB-T H.264 for me.
Just installed 7600.16385 RTM today, both my HVR-2200 and ASUS MyCinema P7131 (based on Philips SAA7131E & TDA10046, same as HVR-1110) works perfectly.

I have 4gb. I also have a PVR-150 that I had before I jumped to the 2250, but I only use the 150 for video capture from my video camera, and it is on an older computer [E6600, 2gb ram, XP Pro] I haven't tried the 150 in my newer HTPC.

Try using the Vista drivers, by the way I can't find E740F on the Compro site, are you sure you have the right model number? there is a E750F.

I have the Hauppauge HVR-1600 and it works with the newest drivers. The IR remote doesn't work with Windows 7 or Vista however.

The Hauppauge HVR-1800 works under 7 x 64 as well.

I cannot get any audio with my HVR-1800 in Win7 64-bit. I am using the latest Hauppauge drivers and latest Realtek drivers. It doesn't have audio in WinTV 6, Windows 7 Media Center, or GBPVR.

Buy the New WIN TV HVR 1250- It gets all the digital HD as well. Does not have the Ram issue. I replaced my 150 with this. I love it. Its 54.99 at Frys Electronics!

Technisat AirStar2 PCI (DVB-T) works fine with DVBviewer TE2 supplied, using latest 4.5.1 software version. I wonder, whether someone got it to work with Media Center, since the card is not detected here...

Hi!

What drivers and software did you use? What are your computer specs?

My card's not working at all. It blocks the system when scanning for programs...

Thanks in advance...

I added an AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet dual-tuner board a few months ago alongside my ATI 650 (instead of a second 650 as i'd previously planned). WMC uses all three tuners seamlessly. (I decided against the 650 because its second tuner is analog, which I no longer need; I chose the AVerMedia Duet because it doesn't require an external splitter for the two tuners and by the time the coax gets to my computer, I have more than enough signal loss already - a splitter puts it over the edge into unusable).

I can confirm a good support of 64 bit W7 / WMC with AverMedia. I use AverTV Super 007 (DVB-T) card, which has been properly detected and drivers have been installed by the system itself... All available TV and Radio channels have been tuned correctly.
