I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium on the weekend. Up until today, everything with Media Center was working fine though I still had some HW that wasn't recognized or out of date. I started upgrading (bad idea I guess). I upgraded the Video Card Drivers (ATI Radeon 9600XT) and the Sound Card Drivers (SB Audigy 2). After that I noticed my TV Capture Card (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250) wasn't recognized anymore. I don't recall initially installing that driver manually so I think it was auto detected initially. I recall seeing it in Device Manager as a Hauppage WinTV PVR PCI II something. Well since it was no longer detected automatically and no longer working, I've been trying to install the drivers manually. They seem to install but when I go into Media Center is gives me the following error: Loss of Signal Windows Media Center has stopped capturing data due to low data rate in the TV signal... I have done a number of thing such as: 1) Manually tried all the Hauppauge drivers available in Vista. 2) Run the cable from my card direct to another TV...signal is good 3) Swapped out the Coax cable 4) Unistalled the new drivers (ATI & SB) to revert back to the previous ones. None of these have worked. Any idea what the correct driver is or anything else I should be checking? Thanks, D
Nevermind...After giving up, I reinstalled the ATI drivers, uninstalled the Hauppauge driver I previously did and rebooted. Then Vista automagically installed the correct driver. Not sure why it wouldn't in the prior attempts but it did this time and I am now happy again. As an FYI, the correct driver is "Hauppauge WinTV-PVR PCI II (Encoder-16)".
