TV Card for Windows 7

NeoNemesis · 30 Mar 2009 at 08:36

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a recommendation for a TV-Tuner card that is compatible with Windows 7. I dont want to be spending a huge sum on it, but since I cant get my current USB stick (Freecom DVB-T USB) working then I need a replacement!

Much thanks,

Neo

Is this any help? http://forum.freecompromo.com/viewtopic.php?t=9792

Yeah, have tried all of the support for the Freecom stick and it just doesnt seem to get going.

It is able to scan for channels and find them all, but when you try to tune into one a message appears that "the tuner has malfunctioned or needs to be reinstalled".

Have a look at the hauppauge ones that work with media center.

Compro Cards work nicely too. Best get one that comes with the media centre remote though.

Another vote for Hauppauge cards they've never given me a moments bother when I've used them.

But still nobody has got one that they have got working in Windows 7. It would annoy me to bits if I bought a new card and for whatever reason didnt work in 7...!

My BlackGold tv card worked perfectly in Windows 7. Not that cheap though

I did have a Hauppauge card, but unfortunately can't comment on how it worked as my motherboard decided to first kill off all pci and pci-e slots, then die completely!
