dude i have the same card along with the PCTV STEREO

the pixel view play TV pro comes with drivers for XP

u shld try finding the BT878P+2K folder from the CD

and install the drivers manually if u u third party software to view TV

i personally wod say download Chris-TV from www.chris-tv.com after manually installing the drivers

dun install the buggy Pixel view Station v 5.23 from the CD

Go here:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Select "Custom Install" from the page that opens up. After the website scans ur comp, on the left u'll see "Select Optional Hardware Updates". Go here, n u'll see the driver for ur card.

Chiao!

Hi!
I have the same tv tunercard.
I bought it recently.
The problem with the bundled software is that it doesn't support mannual tuning basing on the mannual parameters set.
I have decided to not use it and use a far more flexible app such as christv.

Now,I have a doubt.
since the remote provided is having the same bundled software ,will it work for some other software?

is there any other software like chris tv which can record too?
ie freeware
