microsoft patch for dvb users?

[stefan]

Ok, for my new HTPC, I went to hauppauge's website to get drivers for my dvb-t card (http://www.hauppauge.se/pages/support/sw...90002.html) and they have a link to a patch from Microsoft. It's called KB896626 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en)

Has anyone felt the need to use this patch? It's supposedly only for SP2 computers...

Not really a new patch.

[stefan]

I never said it was new But I haven't seen it before. On the other hand, I haven't had SP2 until now, either

You need it for SP2, or you will see weird software crashes when watching TV or scanning for channels. There is also the stuttering and other issues described in KB896626 the documentation.

[stefan]

Ok, thank's for the head's up, Chris.

Stefan, how's the fever? Did you put something in your coffee

[stefan]

The fever is getting better, thank you. My throat is sore still, but I'm getting there eventually

I have been using 3 x NovaT90002 cards on WinXP SP2 OK without the patch, on 2 different computers , with GBPVR and WinTV application without problem. The version 2.1 drivers are a must though if you have more than one card.

Maybe I'm just lucky

[stefan]

Yeah... i got the patch now, let's hope that'll do =)
