I had forgotten that the Samsung tuners were the ones with the problem.
I've seen some discussion about testing the Hauppauge board with Windows.
Is it absolutely necessary to test a PVR-500MCE with Windows Media Center
Edition? Or can it be tested with Windows XP Professional? I have the
latter, but not the former.
However, I can't figure out how to install the drivers from the installation
CD -- there doesn't seem to be any install script, WinXP "finds" the devices
without asking for drivers, and if I remove them and have it rediscover them,
it won't find the drivers on the CD.
Can anyone give me a clue, here? It would be much appreciated.
I'd like to figure out for sure if I've got a bad board before I RMA it to
Hauppauge.
Thanks.
