- Dual Tuners in Vista
- Posted by chance on April 4th, 2008
- Running Vista Ultimate x86bit
I've just purchased this: Hauppauge WinTV Nova-TD Dual DVB-T Tuner - Model
1175.
It's connected to my PC via USB, and I've run a TV cable from the outlet on
the wall, through a splitter, and then a cable into each of the two antenna
sockets on the actual USB tuner.
I've gone through the TV set up in MCE and there's nothing wrong with the
channel detection, picture etc, it just hasn't detected the dual tuners so I
don't have its capabilities (obviously - record and watch two channels at the
same time, record and record etc). I've downloaded and installed the vista
drivers for this product.
I was running MCE 2005 on my old machine with a Hauppauge dual tuner card
and it detected the dual tuners fine but I can't remember if i had to do
something.
Any help would be great, thanks a lot.

Did you get the driver from the Hauppauge website? If not, do so.

The review that I found on-line (admittedly from one year ago) states:-
1) "If you're running Vista, though, you may want to hold off for a little while. A bug in the Vista
driver code means that attempting to use the Nova-TD in dual-tuner mode won't work. Hauppauge is
aware of this issue and is currently working on a fix."
&
2) "The bundled application for switching between single- and dual-tuner modes, which is currently
hidden away on the CD awaiting a manual installation, will also be installed along with the standard
applications in the next software release, Hauppauge told me."
Assuming that 1) is fixed then 2) requires you to read your documentation & explore the installation
CD.

Hi, thanks.
Had a look at what was on the CD and there's an application tool that allows
you to switch between modes, one of them being dual tuner, so it's sorted now.
Thanks very much for your help - I always seem to overlook bundled discs and
just download necessary drivers lol.
Thanks again.
