I've just finished building my first computer and have a question, Ihope someone can help. I put a TV tuner card from a media center PC into a PCI slot and hooked up my cable line to it. the problem is when it was in the media center PC there was a program for it and I was easy to start, but now I have loaded Windows XP Home Edition and I'm not sure how to acctivate or access the TV tuner card. I was hoping windows might detect it and lead me through it. Here's a list of what I'm working with.
1: Intel 3.0E processor
2: D875PBZ motherboard
3: Western Digital Raptor HDD
4: 1024 Gb RAM
5: Verto GeForce 5950FX Graphics card
6: Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro sound card
7: Lite On 832S DVD-RW
8: Lite On DVD-ROM
9: Plextor 712A DVD-RW
10: All packaged nicely in a Thermaltake SViking Case.

sorry so long winded.. but BOY does that feel good! Anyway, any help on that TV problem sure would be appreciated

I don't seem to be having any success with this TV tuner card, I don't know why windows isn't identifing it like any other piece of hardware and loading the drivers and software automatically. any other suggestions or recomendations?

The old computer doesn't have a workable hard drive. But I think its an Evcap mui device and I updated the drivers. I downloaded The trial version of Beyond TV 3 but still no success

but I'll keep trying. Keep the suggestions comming though I appreciate them very much

. I've downloaded Everest Home Edition but I don't see anything that refferances a TV tuner. Wil it be listed under another name like a network connection or control hub, or sumething like that? The card came out of an hp media center pc.
