Hi, does anyone have the Freecom DVB-T USB Stick working under vista 32bit?

If what did you do to get it to work?

Thanks. Chris

EDIT: working fine with BDA drivers from freecom site, and windows media centre in vista.

I didnt do anything special, I installed the BDA freecom drivers, ran media centre followed the setup TV wizard and it works, well i thought it did, but for some reason only bbc 1 and 2 work.

It found all the channels in the scan but nothing else works.

Have you got all channels in media portal?

Thanks

Really puzzles me why 2 channels work but not the rest, hmmm.

Check my post out a few weeks back now http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17687793

Ive emailed Freecom and they arnt developing drivers for Vista

looks like a new usb/pci TV card is in order, or try Mediaportal as suggested or dual boot with XP MCE like I do, bit of a pain

Edit: A bit more info it seems Vista MCE uses different frequencies for the channels which is why it doesn’t pick up any other channels apart from BBC1 & 2
