Anyone got any ideas on this:

Current have a TV Tuner card in my PC (for what it's worth, a Pinnacle Dazzle, USB).

I'm trying to write an app that basically shows an object on the form and whereby I can watch TV channels.

There ARE a good few examples on the net on how to do it, and quite a few .Net Components etc of which have been beneficial.

But not once have I got any of them to work because it seems as if the controls can't pick up a USB device.

Now I can't see this been some kind of lock on the hardware, because Vista Media Centre picks up (and configures) the dongle no problems whatsoever.

Does anyone know of any 3rd party apps controls out there, or maybe snippets of code that I can look at?
 
Any reason why you need to do this from scratch?

...you could use a backend already established like MediaPortal TV Server and just interface that?

Failing that...MediaPortal has a TV front-end that you could probably use the code from (its opensource)
 
Well the reason from scratch is we've a need to build our own media streaming for a large collection of clients but we're not a hardware company.

Keep forgetting about poor old MediaPortal being OpenSource! Thanks for that reminder.
