PCI TV Tuner for Windows XP x64

[Guest Jim N]

Hi All,

 

I've been using Windows XP x64 for two years and I am very pleased with this

OS.

 

I've been searching and haven't had much luck finding a TV Tuner for Windows

XP x64. The Hauppuage support site doesn't appear to support Windows XP x64

(Vista 64 only).

 

Can anyone recommend a TV Tuner for Windows XP x64? I just want to watch TV

on my computer and occasionally record a TV show.

 

Thanks in advance,

--

Jim,

I am also searching for a PCI TV Tuner but for Vista x64.

 

Check these ones for XP x64 compatibility:

Encore ENLTV-FM (http://www.encore-usa.com)

Kozumi KTV-01C (http://www.kozumi-usa.com)

 

They have Vista x64 drivers but I didn't check XP x64.

Best of luck.

Carlos

I have a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 PCI tuner in my Vista x64 box. Device

Manager shows it as "Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II (26xxx).

 

It works fine, along with my AVerMedia M791 PCIe Combo NTSC/ATSC

tuner.

Yeah but how much RAM do you have? If you increase it to over 4 GB, the

PVR-150

will stop working. If you have 4 GB or less why would you want to run

64-bit OS

anyway?

I had 4 GB, but that apparently caused the problems with the AVerMedia

tuner that I described in my message "Audio and Video Problems in

Windows Media Center" of June 20. I took out a 1 GB RAM module, and

both tuners are working well with 3 GB.

More stable than 32-bit, more secure, signed drivers, etc.

Re: PCI TV Tuner for Windows XP x64

 

I am with you, Steve - if you need >4 GB RAM you must have a 64bit OS, but

that doesn't disqualify the rest of us from needing a peerless environment

for our measly 2 GB!

Re: PCI TV Tuner for Windows XP x64

 

Hi, Steve.

 

Maybe I can add a couple of data points, for whatever they are worth.

 

I'm only a casual user of Media Center because I don't have TV cable and my

OTA reception on my 15-year-old omnidirectional antenna in the attic is

sporadic, ranging from excellent to awful, and often fluttering within a few

seconds. For a long time, I blamed Media Center, but finally realized that

it is really an antenna problem, not a tuner or software problem. (Well, it

WAS a software problem, too, but Hauppauge and Pinnacle finally brought that

up to acceptable levels.)

 

My rig is an EPoX MF570sli mobo/AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU/4 GB OCZ PC6400

RAM, with ATI Radeon X1600 512 MB PCI-express card. It started with 2 GB

and was bumped to 4 GB a few months ago; I've never tried more than 4 GB,

which seems plenty to me. The tuners are a Hauppauge HVR-1600 PCI card

(Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo, per Device Manager) and a

Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick (Pinnacle PCTV 800e), both bought about a year

ago. Device manager says both drivers, dated in 2007, are up to date. I'm

running Vista Ultimate x64. (For a couple of years, I used an ATI Radeon

All-In-Wonder on my old WinXP rig, but ATI never got the software right for

64-bit so I gave up on that.)

 

Our house was wired for TV cable when built in the late 1980s, but we've

never subscribed to TV Cable here. I bought a $100 omnidirectional antenna

(looks like a big white pizza) from Radio Shack and mounted it on a pole in

the attic. Then I cut the five cables the builder had installed and

connected them to the antenna so that I have identical reception at five

jacks in the house. One of the jacks, using a splitter, is connected to the

computer's two tuners. (Neither the small antenna supplied with the Pro

Stick nor the antenna booster I bought from Radio Shack seem to help much,

if at all.)

 

We live about 30 miles from Austin and 50 miles from San Antonio. On our TV

in the living room, we get about a dozen channels, with variations based on

the weather, of course. We can reliably watch all the major networks,

including Fox and PBS, plus a couple of independent channels. On my

computer, I can see most of the same channels, but some don't come in and

some are sporadic.

 

All the hardware and software work fine for me, except for the poor OTA

reception because of the weak antenna.

 

I've bought a couple of the new digital TV converter boxes (RCA and

Magnavox). For reasons I don't understand, they both rate reception from

the one antenna at about 40% on the connection in the bedroom but only 15%

in the living room. We'll need to resolve that problem by February; it

doesn't directly impact MC but they both rely on our antenna and are surely

related.

Vista 64 Ultimate with 6GB Ram

Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-T-500 dual digital tuner

 

All working OK, never had a problem. Media Center works with both tuners.

Try antennas direct (http://www.antennasdirect.com). I bought a medium range

antenna and a signal booster and I get great digital reception. With just

the antenna it was ok but the booster made the difference with the tuner

cards.

To all who responded - thank you. Sorry if my request started a religious

discussion about 32 bit vs. 64 bit OS. I have a 2 GB of memory and it's all

good.

 

Again thanks to all who responded.
