Can not find tv tuner

[micalus99]

Hello, I have a gigabyte GA-A75M-S2V motherboard with one PCI express slot. I plugged in a Hauppauge Colusus PCI express card and windows xp SP3 can not see it. any ideas?
I bought a second one and put it in the same slot (after powering down) and still wont see it.

"Won't see it" as in you are able to login to windows and it's your only video card or do you have 2 cards ?
What is the speed of the PCI-E on the card ? What is the speed of the PCI-E on the MB ? (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)

Do you know which switch? I went through the Bios and made sure the primary video device was the onboard chip and not the TV Tuner, but did not see any other settings.

specifically, I did not "see" it in the device manager for Windows XP and when I ran the programs that came with the card, it had an error message that no TV Tuner card was found.

The PCI-E on the MB has three slots. one that runs at x16, one that runs at x4 and one that runs at x1. I have tried each tv tuner once in each slot.

I believe the TV tuner is x1

You don't enable the onboard, disable the onboard, connect monitor to the card that is in the fastest slot. (if the card supports x16)
Do you also have another addon graphics card ?

 

[micalus99]

I just have the onboard graphics. The only card I have is the TV tuner. It is just so strange that Windows can't see it in device manager. No devices that need drivers. The MB should be picking it up. I can't have gotten two bad TV tuner cards.

Plug it in the PCI-E x16, turn off the onboard video, see if you can see anything. Today everything is made in China, RMA if dead.
