Installed windows 7 fourteen days ago and have not been able to get past "cannot continue tv tuner setup" - have updated all drivers I can find but the tv tuner won't/can't update from the xp version on the machine and I can't find one for windows 7 - tried the one for vista but it won't work and it's not listed on the microsoft list - using an acer aspire idea 510 - does no-one have the answer ?
The tuner is an MPC718 Video capture. I've tried a load of tweaks (uninstalling etc then running the C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe -manual -nogc -p and all the other ehome suggestions on a myriad of sites).
If there aren't any drivers for the MPC718 it would be helpful if there was a site that said this instead of a lot of "download driver" sites leading people up the garden path. Have YUAN really abandoned this tuner for anything post Vista ?
Everything else on the upgrade works like a dream

and tried installing Vista's drive

and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if PC has compatible drivers for Windows 7.

the tuner isn't compatible.
so it's a driver thing, I assume.

In the meantime, I got a USB DVB-T Pico Tv UB450-T which works as a stand-alone reciever but I still get the "set-up cannot continue" window when I try and set-up wndows media center ....
the link I used to check that the card was windows 7 compatible and I assumed Media Center compatible is
www.microsoft.com/.../Details.aspx
it doesn't say "windows 7 compatible but doesn't work with the windows media center insatlled in windows 7"
I think I've been sold a pup.
