Hi, I recently purchased a pinnacle hybrid TV tuner for my pc but have not been succesful in getting it working.
Firstly my operating system is windows vista ultimate (64-bit), so i installed the tv card and all drivers installed ok and these are vista 64-bit compaitable drivers and the card is detected on computer management and is working properly it says.
My problem is the Pinnacle TVCenter Pro software which was supplied with the tv card. It is not vista 64 bit compaitable when i try to run it, it simply says ‘.NET Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install .NET Framework 2.0!’ I have checked the website and there is no TVCenter updates which are 64-bit vista compaitable.
My OS has windows media center installed but when i scan via that it doesn’t detect any services. I have also tried SageTV this wouldnt run on my pc because of java or something. BeyondTV all this did was detect about 12 channels then when it was on the testing screen it just appeared black with no audio and the odd green line horizontaly across, ChrisTV also did the same as beyondtv detected 12 but black video screen and the odd green lines. This also sometimes caused Blue screen error crash.
Please tell me why it is a black screen on these softwares and what software i could try or how to get windows media center working.
The signal going in is definantly there because it is the roof aerial which goes into my freeview box and this is compaitable with the tv card.
Thanks!
