Re: NVTV tuner card

You apparently got caught by the bug in Vista RC1 that disabled MC tuners at
the end of 2006.
The only workaround that I hve seen is to set the clock back but that will
make your Guide in operable.

Hopefully in VISTA RTM you will as a minimum be able to install the card in
XP compatibility mode and its MCE 2005 drivers will enable you to use it in
Vista MCE or as a minimum with its own TV application program if it has one.
I am surprised you got the response you did since the card is not that old,
however, it was discontinued prior to the Vista Betas which may mean they
have no obligation to support it on a new OS. Since it was working on RC1
makes me feel comportable that it will work on Vista RTM. The Vista RC1
tuner bug affected all MC compatible tuners not just yours.
