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.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
