My perviouse TOPIC.

Hauppauge hasn't release any drivers yet. It?s been like 5 years. Microsoft going release windows 7 soon and they haven't fixed the issue with Vista (pretty sad). I had to uninstall windows vista sp1 64bit, because of this issue. Now I am going to 64bit, when windows 7 get released.

I am not buying any Hauppauge product ever again.

-- I just wanted get that off my mind.:angry:y:

Now.. I need new TV tuner that works with 64bit and with 4GB or more RAM. Can anyone recommend me a good TV tunner?

Thanks,

You're not buying another Hauppauge product again because they haven't released x64 bit drivers for a product which was released a couple of years laters? Give me a break, all companies do this. Why not kick off on ATi for not releasing a x32 driver for their R8500 series cards which was released years ago, even more, why not kick off saying release a x64 version?

Microsoft can only do so much. They don't need to provide a driver because the company in question no longer supports it, or they support it, just not Windows x64.

I never said its Microsoft. Hauppauge released this product like 2 years ago. I think they should still release drivers for it, They shouldn't force you to buy new product.

Huh? I bought a PVR500 some time ago and ever since Vista (7 does it too) it just automatically gets the drivers I need and it works perfectly. I'm only running x64 on 2GB though. But there's a bug in the PVR150 Firmware that totally freaks it out on 4GB Ram. Take out a gig and see what happens then on a fresh 7 install maybe?

Yep. I know, its the 4GB

If i take out 1GB it will work.

hmm. I never tried to take out 1GB and try fresh install. You think its worth it?

I think once you put the 1GB back it will have the same issue.

Nope, it won't with 4GB. It's got memory remapping issues. It will never be fixed by a driver, and Hauppage blames Microsoft for using a 'bad' driver structure...

If you're in the USA though, I think they offer RMA upgrades. If you send your old card in you can get one of the HVR series (PCI or PCI-X as you want, I think it's 1600/1800) for only $49.

I am in Canada. Is it possiable to get RMA upgrades.

I am successfully running a PVR-150 in Vista x64 (and Windows 7 x64) with 4 gigs of ram. Right after I dumped 4 gigs into the machine, the PVR-150 quit working.

On a hunch, I upgraded the bios of my motherboard, and success!

Might be worth a shot.

my bios is upto date.

You really got the PVR-150 working on 4GB. Your lucky lol

Stupid Ass me. Apparently, 1 of the 4 1 gig modules wasn't making complete contact. While the bios reported something like 3 gigs, the Windows system applet said I had 4 gigs, so I thought nothing of it.

Suddenly a day ago, the pvr-150 started BSODing the machine everytime it started to record. I reseated all of the RAM and suddenly the bios tells me I have 4 gigs, and PVR-150 still won't work. I pulled a stick and now it works. What a bitch. I just bought an HVR1600 for digital, but the analog section of the tuner's signal is so **** poor that it's unusable. Stuck at 3 gigs I guess.

Okay...so it turns out I'm not crazy after all it IS possible to run a pvr-150 with 4 gigs of ram - and I was until I I juggled some ram sticks around.

Read the following for an explanation:

http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/permalink...ead.aspx#325456

Apparently, if you can "trick" your bios into thinking you have only 3 gigs of ram, when Windows "knows" you have 4 gigs, then the pvr-150 will run just fine.

What started my troubles was a few days ago when I bought a new PVR-150 that was displaying only static. So I started troubleshooting and removed all the ram and stuck it back again. That's apparently when both the bios and windows agreed that there was 4 gigs of ram, and when the other pvr-150 quit working. So in conclusion, I put the RAM back in the way I had it before (two old sticks of same make and model on the bottom, and the other two which the same make and model but different, updated case on the top. Now bios reports 3 gigs, and Windows reports 4 gigs. And pvr-150 is happy again. And the new pvr-150 I installed turned out to be DOA.

I had the same issues with Win7 64Bit and 4Gb Ram.

PVR150 is now working 99% (no full-screen support) , but u can pull the screen with menu border almost to the rim of monitor.

Run the WinTV program in compatability mode for WinXP SP2 - tested mine for 6Hrs yesterday... no crashes at all ;)

Hope it helps

Upon reading the post i found the solution for running this tuner card in Windows 7 64bit with 4 GB ram.

Here is what you do:

1 - Pressed START

2 - Typed: "msconfig"

3 - Moved over to the "Boot" tab

4 - Clicked "Advanced options..."

5 - Checked off "Maximum memory"

6 - Decreased memory from its full amount of 4096 to 4095

7 - Clicked OK and accepted my changes & rebooted my computer

Just saw this thread.......and dude it may be years old for you, but Hauppauge has released this card in many countries off recently, they should not do that just to get rid off their old stock.

This was perfect. Windows reports 4.00 gb Installed, 2.99 Usable. Playback was jerky at best. Changed this setting per above, and now playback is perfect. Just as good as mce05.

Spec:

8650 Phenom x3

ASUS M4A78 Plus

GTS 8800 (I know, nVidia card on an ATi Chipset....)

pvr-150

pvr-500

4 GB DDR2 800

2x 1tb WD Green RAID 1 (Data/Media)

1x 500gb WD Scorpio (Win7)

1x 250 WD Blue (XPMCE)

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
