Can anyone confirm that the Compro E700 works fine within Vista Media Center? As I've been reading some old posts from last year, saying that it doesn't, they say that it scans and gets 70 channels, but some of the muxes dont actually work.
 
Hey mate, I CAN confirm as long as you get the newest drivers from their website, www.comprousa.com that YES they do work. I have one and is absolutly brilliant. Only problem is, that that the Bundled IR Remote doesnt work out of the box. I do believe, u will have to search, that one of the OcUK users wrote some software to allow it to work.
Good luck with it, its brilliant :)

Correct; it's called ComproA2W and it works like a charm :). I'm very pleased with my Compro and it works perfectly in Vista X64 Ultimate MC. I'm not sure any bundled software works with TP IR remotes apart from obviously Microsoft's, however that may be incorrect.

Anyway I leave in a weka reception area and even with an old loft aerial, I pick up lots and lots of channels very reliably. I think it might even be all the ones I can possibly pick up, though I haven't bothered counting.

I'm extremely happy with the card as it's was only £30 and has a digital tuner and an analogue tuner. Only minor downside for me is - forget the software that comes with the card for viewing TV. It's dire.
