Hi All,

I just purchased a Dazzle 71E (Pinnacle) USB FreeView tuner and I am having trouble getting Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to recognise it.

I have installed the drivers and the tuners software, and I can watch TV via its own software, but I want to use it with the Media Center interface.

I have looked on the box and it says it is compatible with media center.

If you have any ideas I would be very grateful.

Google around and check it has an MPEG Hardware Encoder.

Strange, should work then. Gone on their site and got the latest drivers?

Thank you for your help, everyone.

I have, but just to be sure i'm re-downloading the TVCenterPro software and re-installing it.

Hi,

I have tried everything, if you still have ideas for my Media Center problem please tell me, but I now want to use a 3rd Party Program, similar to Media Center. I have tried MediaPortal (didn't work) and GB-PVR, which also did not work.

Thank you :)
