Any Freecom USB DVB-T users running Vista?

Hi I’ve just upgraded my version of XP MCE 2005 to Vista Ultimate X86 and what an upgrade

all my hardware was fully supported and Vista installed all the drivers automatically, However I have just downloaded the BDA drivers of the Freecom website and installed them without a hitch, ran the Media Centre to configure the channels which it found all 70

the problem is only 3 BBC channels work (BBC1 BBC2 & BBC News 24) all the rest show a black screen with a no signal box :confused:

Anybody else ran into this problem? I know the BDA drivers are for XP if they weren’t compatible why would Vista configure the card & show all the 70 channels??

Thanks

This is a bit of a pain because its the one feature of the OS I use most

You downloaded the BDA drivers of the freecom website? BDA Drivers

I cant see why Vista's not recognising them :confused:

Thanks for the reply Vicar

Could you please post a link to the drivers you got working with RC1? Ive searched a fair few google pages and the one that sticks out most is the Yakumo DBA driver but it looks like its not compatable with my stick as its a new revision

Yep sorry twoodster freecom's driver’s dont support X64

you could try the suggestion that Vicar posted & try another set of BDA drivers from another manufacturer.
