Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 A friend was asking what the options were for 64-bit supported TV Tuners, and I said I didn't know because I'm a happy TiVo user. But I'd ask here, since I know a few of you have an interest in this area. His options are basically USB or PCI - the only free PCI-e slot is blocked by the monster video card he bought for his son. OS is Vista 64-bit, but could be XP x64 if necessary, I suspect. Thanks! -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel

Guest Barb Bowman Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: TV Tuner Options? if you have less than 4 gigs of RAM, most of the Hauppage tuners are OK on 64 bit windows. One question - what TV source are they intending to use? this can make a huge difference in what tuner would be the best. Cable? OTA? etc. On Sat, 23 Aug 2008 06:43:11 -0700, "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> wrote: >Thanks, Barb. But somehow, that model is no longer showing on the Pinnacle >site.

Guest Dominic Payer Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: TV Tuner Options? I use Leadtek DTV1000T and DTV1000S for OTA digital reception. I wouldn't recommend the DTV1000S because its driver includes a multimedia "helper" which launches PowerDVD every time the machine starts or resumes from standby. Most current cards have 64-bit drivers and will work with Windows Media Center. If you want to enjoy watching TV and not spend time waiting for Media Center to clunk into action, a good software package is needed and I find Leadtek's WinFast excellent. Others have commented on that too. There is said to be an update to Windows Media Center coming which may increase its responsiveness.

The following info is from Hauppauge forum: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=14947 I only tested PCI products as it seems the issue lies with ks.sys's handling of 64-bit memory on 32-bit PCI cards. i.e USB products shouldn't be affected.
