    So does anyone actually have their TV tuner working without having to use the co-ax cable? Mine works perfectly fine IF I use a coax connection, but who the hell wants that. I want to pick up the HD channels off the ATSC signal.

    Can anyone help me to get this configured correctly?

    Media center only sees the coax nature of the connection, it doesn't see the ATSC antennae thats built in.

    HELP! please :)

    I bought the TV tuner with my M17 but never use it......I only ever had it working through Co-axial cable.
    Im sure some other guys in the past also had the tuner and if you browse the archives with the right keywoards such as M17 tv tuner or avermedia then you might find them.
    good luck pal.
    ps....how are the GPUs holding up? are you happy with the temps and performance?
