I'm looking for a tv card that'll run on windows pro x64. ..

I bought a Leadtek Winfast DTV-Dongle Digital TV USB2.0 Tuner from OcUk but I couldn't find x64 drivers so subsequently exchanged the tuner with a friend who has a x32 system and it's all ok with him I think.

I want to buy a decent HDTV tuner that has two tuners in and that definitely works in x64.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Why you running x64 ? do you NEED x64 ? most tv cards don't have drivers for x64 xp, as its an OS you wouldn't use for mainstream/entertainment pc. It was developed to see if they can do 64bit and as a starting stone to help develop vista 64. Its only good use is server and cad/huge memory programs that need more than 3gb ram. So if your trying to use your pc for more mainstream day to day use and to watch tv, etc id get XP pro 32bit or even better (and what I use) XP MCE 2005

Quoted for the truth.

Though I would be suprised if there are no compatible ones... :eek:
 
Had I the choice I would have gone back and had normal xp pro but hindsight is a marvellous thing! At the time it seemed like x64 was the logical choice: I have a server grade cpu, 2gb RAM and I run photoshop and video stuff often. Since then I've had a few driver problems, not huge stuff though.

I see no point in "downgrading" to xp pro 32 bit now what with vista coming out soon and all.

Will the x64 version of vista have similar driver issues do you think? Is it worth upgrading to vista x32 instead of x64?
