Then iam sorry to tell you that this TV Tuner is piece of crap :-(
Even i have got the same tuner and i was able to tune most of the channels but the quality just sucks..and i mean it is completely unacceptable...
So no use of trying it.

i have the hauppauge winTV pvr pci 2 card came with HP pavilion media center PC. it is not the USB version card.it scans everything all right.and better still the pictures are better on the monitor than it is on TV.i can't figure how the USB version product could be so bad.i have been using the product for 2 years and i give it a 5/5 rating.
