WinTV-PVR-150 TV TUNER not working under vista 64bit with SP1

[tdrock]

I had 32bit version of vista with SP1, 4GB ram.

WinTV-PVR-150 worked fine.

I installed vista 64bit with SP1. and WinTV-PVR-150 is not working.

i see the card under device manager, windows update installed latest drivers and still not working.

its just black screen on media center.

has anyone had this problem. anyone knows the fix for this?

I have the same tuner, but I've had no issues. Try getting drivers directly from Hauppauge.

Newer drivers won't do a thing.

Hauppauge is one of those lazy companies that doesn't want to fix their drivers, or more specifically the issues that people run into with more than 2GB of RAM. You're out of luck with a Hauppauge card as far as I know.

Maybe looks into the AMD Theater 650 chipset based tuners, I have the ATI Branded TV Wonder elite (Theater 550 Pro) and it works great under Vista SP1 x64, but that system only has 2gb of ram.

I have a similiar problem with my ASUS tuner running the 713x chipset on Vista x64. Worked perfect before updating to SP1, but now broke. Oh well, I can live with it for now.

can't believe this :cry:

There's word that they're working on new versions to fix that specific problem, but after 13 months with no resolution I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

Just FYI, add another user with the same issue. I thought I had covered all my bases when I decided to finally update to Vista x64 from XP but it seems I missed on. I'm running with 4G of ram and just get a black screen when I try to use my hauppauge tuner.

yep.. i am thinking of going back to 32bit

thats a known issue

i researched it alot

theres a bug or whatever that prevents it from working properly in 64bit systems with 4gigs of ram or more

i have the same card

there IS a possible fix

i cant find the site anymore, but i have a driver that was apparently hidden on the manufacturers site that fixes it(it half fixes it for me, i have to reboot then watch tv, and its still a bit choppy)

tvcards jsut seem like a HUGE problem no matter who makes em

I have the very same card installed right now in my machine, fact is, I had to update it with a driver from the French Hauppauge site to get it working properly, just unpack the exe with winrar/winzip and point your driver update to the drivers folder

as you can see from my specs below, x64-SP1 and 8Gigs of ram ain't a problem at all

afaik, the builtin vista driver has a lot of skipping, the windowsupdate driver just kills reception, only this one works fine

Theres a lot of cards out there that have the same issues. Most of the DNTV cards in Australia don't work with 64bit & >4gb ram :(

Fortunately, 32bit to the rescue lol :p
