    Too lazy to set a custom title

    Piece Of Shit! Grrrrrr

    I swear I give up on this shit. I just forked over 100 bux USD on an MSI tv@anywhere tv/capture/fm card.

    It's just plain doesn't work. Blank screen, won't even let me chose tv as source, it automaticaly goes back to composite.

    The radio only works when I let MS install unsigned drivers for the TV tuner but then the TV tuner app crashes when i start it.


    A couple years ago I have an ATI tuner card that gave black screens and only audio.

    What gives with these fucking things? Do any of them actually work?

      I know a few people who have managed it...eventually. But only after loads of problems. And still have the regular set backs with it.
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

          I can't believe companies actually sell this CRAP whne it clearly hardly ever works. Christ, just as bad as buying a fuckign dodge or chev. Crap from the get-go.


          Lesson learned. MSI will NEVER get my biz again. Nor will anyone who sells tv tuners

                  good luck using an ATI with a nvidia vga chip.

                  That's why the ATI I had refused to work.

                      I have an ATI TV Wonder VE that works fine and I don't use it because I'm using a Hauppauge PVR 250 with Snapstream for my TV watching.

                              I have an ATI tv tuner that I picked up a couple months ago for the office. I had it installed and running in about 15 minutes. Are you sure theproblems not with your computer or your installation?

                                      It's something software/driver related

                                      I updated the software just now and everythign works... except.. the tv tuner.


                                      I select cable as input. click apply, it sets itself back to composite.

                                              not worth it. I'd have to ship it back.

                                                  installed updated drivers, ms then started searching for driver after reboot, it found it again, then it worked!

                                                  I rebooted cause the program locked up on me when gong full screen


                                                  now app won't load and crashes when it does. back to square one,. ShowShifter crashes every 5 seconds and nothig else works.


                                                  moral of story. There is NO such thing as a working tuner card
