You need to have a least one compatible analog tuner installed, I'm not sure
if the Leadtek is a MCE tuner, does it claim to be or have MCE drivers?

Where do you live? I am curious since I did not know there was any location
in the US that had 35 OTA digital channels available.

Yeah, I didn't even notice that, I don't know if there are many places where
there are 35 OTA stations of any kind.
I think we have 5 OTA HD stations in Orlando.

Your tv tuners are not MCE hardware. You'll need to acquire new a new tuner
or use XP. In fact, I leapt right in without reading up and bought the
leadtek card you have and found out the hard way, a fifty dollar lesson, that
you need to read up before you buy. If you want a good mid range card cheap,
go here: http://stores.ebay.com/matashardware they are generic nvidia cards
for thirty bucks plus shipping. I bought two and they both work well.

we recently installed mce 2005 and we can get tv in it through asus tv tuner
card 7135.but when we try to open the tv in media center it tells us we have
no tuner card or drivers installed.

I can not find any information to indicate that your 7135 supports using it
with MCE or any information to indicated that it has an onboard MPEG2
encoder chip or that it has MCE drivers available.
