Ashton,

Yes - I did (but with the original 32-bit drivers) it won't install properly
on 64-bit. I did replace those with the new drivers to let it complete, but
no joy.
I've emailed KWorld for suggested install sequence or fixes.

To be honest, It was a pretty cheap card in the first place ($30-$40) and I
was pleasantly surprised to see ANY support!
I may move the card over to a 32-bit vista machine to get it working, but
it's probably time to get a new card anyway.
I'll see what response I get from KWorld first.



I only paid $15 for mine so I figured if it crapped out in Vista I
wasn't out much. When it actually worked I was amazed. It does cause
vista to switch to Vista Basic Theme when it's running but that seems
to be take place automatically. I just want to be able to catch the
news occasionally while I'm at the PC and its fine for that.

Ashton,

Thanks for the info. I suspect you are using 32-bit vista then. I've even
tried duplicating the keys in the registry to something the non-64-bit
variety might expect to find. I seem to be stuck with the PVR-plus patch
saying "can't find any product" - I'm damned if I know what it's looking
for! Maybe the 32-bit drivers (which I can't install).


Yes, I am using the 32 bit Vista. Since the PVR is a Patch I assume
it's patching the original install of the PVR+ program. Did you
install the original PVR+ Program before you ran the patch?

Here's what I think I did.

I uninstalled all the stuff for the TV card, I think there were either
two or three things listed in the add or remove programs list. That
was probably a mistake in retrospect.

Then I downloaded the new drivers. On their web page there are two
different Vista Downloads, one is the "drivers" and the other is an
update for PVR+.

I ran the driver install from the website. It "worked" in the sense
that no error messages appeared but there was no TV. Then I
downloaded and installed the PVR+ update. I got the same error
message you did about not finding any product.

So I decided I had uninstalled too much stuff at the beginning and
should have only uninstalled the drivers, not the PVR+ entry. So I
put the original install disk for the TV card in the CD ROM drive and
just reinstalled it. This is where my memory is a little shaky... I
don't recall now whether I then uninstalled just the drivers and then
ran the new driver download install, or if I just ran the new driver
download install and let it overwrite whatever it found. Then I ran
the PVR+ update and it worked.

I'm sure I rebooted somewhere along the way but don't recall. But
when I pushed the ON button on the remote it worked other then the
grayish picture I had to adjust.

Ashton, It would be really, really, really good if you could remember
the
sequence that worked for you! I am running 64-bit ultimate and I thought
I
had tried all combinations, but I can't even apply the PVR-Plus patch
because it "can't find any product". Also each version of the Quick TV
application I have installs but "can't contact the capture device" (big
red
splodge) and then quits. Also did you manage to install the remote
controldriver?

I have TV tuner Philips SAA7131 on my Vista ultimate and I have

Vista.
On XP this TV tuner was working fine. Maybe somebody knows where to
found
driver?

I spend a few ours in google and didn't find any thing.

I have the same tuner on my KWORLD Global TV Terminator. I went to
Kworld's website (search google, I don't think it ended in .com) and
found they had two Vista packages for it. One is the WDDM driver and
the other was an update for the PVR Plus program that came with it. I
had to go around in circle a couple times on installing the stuff from
the original disk, then installing the updated drivers, and then the
update to the PVR program before I finally got it to work. In the end
I wasn't sure what the correct order turned out to be but it did wind
up working. When it first started working the picture was all washed
out, looked just gray scale, and I had to open the video settings
window in the PVR program and reset things to get decent color.
