Are there any files from the driver or something that I could run to help?

Thanks.

BTW, what I normally do is run stop.bat with Admin privileges, change direct.ini, use run restart.bat with Admin privileges, and then try LiveTv. I am not running config in between. Also, as you can see in the posts above, I am changing both tuners of the DualTv per your suggestions.

I hope that is right.

Any other suggestions? I hope my method of testing was correct. If there is no other choice, I will go back to XP.

Thanks,

I'm not really sure. I dont know very much about these devices.

You could try the following setting in config.xml to see if it helps:
<AutoDetectEncoderMethod>0</AutoDetectEncoderMethod>

or maybe try it set to '1'.

Just to point out, I use this card on one of my HTPCs and it works fine with 1.0.16 on Win XP Pro.

Just to point out, I use this card on one of my HTPCs and it works fine with 1.0.16 on Win XP Pro.

I also had the card working in XP but I cannot get it to work in Vista. There was a change in the NVidia driver that is resulting in it not working.
