Hi Noo
That is the driver I installed and this is a fresh installation of media center that I bought at my local computer shop , That is why I am ranting
If cars were built like this we would never get to our destinations
The TV card works under the Win TV application and so it cannot be faulty , Unless M$ demands a proprietary card
So that means I do have a video decoder installed
When I got media center it had 3 cds, One was an update cd and required the dot net runtimes which I thought was stupid ( Another car without the engine )
So I was forced to activate before I could verify that the install was good
I figured media center would have the video decoder built in but I guess M$ wants more money , I also thought Media center would pick up on the decoder from Hauppauge but no joy
Any ideas and thanks for responding, I am just a bit frustrated
