Have been having a few problems with the picture from the TV card installed in my pc.

I was using a Kworld tuner but this lost the picture and a broke it when removing.

Today bought a Compro Videomate T220 and installed but it has a few issues:-

a) To start with windows could not see it. Tried different slot - no joy. Tried again in first slot and finally got a connection. Installed (2hrs of pratting about!). Motherboard problems ?

b) Windows installed its own driver so to begin with used Media centre to tune in etc - found all the usual channels and all played BUT in sound only - no picture except at start when it provides the legend of what channel etc. Tried re-tuning etc no joy:(

c) installed Compro's own software - and for first time it found the card correctly:) (before it believed that only tv was analogue !) to find that it can find 10 channels only - but I do get sound and picture! Sky News, Dave, Price Drop etc (Media still the same sound but no picture)

What's wrong ?
Advice appreciated :):)

N B - Am running i2500k with 470 gpu, wind.7 64bit, 8gb ram , 120gb ssd and 750 storage hd on msip67a-gd65.

AND - The signal I get is not good - I am running it through a booster.
 
Known error with that driver and some TV card combinations. Use either the beta driver from before or after it.
I had to use 285.79.

•Fixes black screen during playback using Windows Media Center.
 
All cured - Thanks:)

Twas a nvidia graphics driver issue - cost me a minimum of £30:mad: - given I've only just built it/moved to windows 7 ,I assumed it was me. Will hopefully know better next time.
