    Hey guys. Has anyone tried to use their TV tuner yet? I keep trying to configure mine in media center and it doesn't detect it. I minimized the media center and saw that the hardware driver crashes and is prevented from running by Vista's Data Execution Prevention service. I have no idea how to get around this. Will call AW on monday. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

    Try running Media Player as an administrator, or disable DEP. There's a way, I think, to flag it as safe - but see if this helps first.
