    Guys & gals,

    Need some urgent advice on this. I have a XPS M1330 with Vista Home Premium. Bought a Gigabyte U8000, but have not been able to install their Vista 32bit driver (1.0) from the website. The install wizard gets to the stage of "Registering Product" (to the OS, I believe) and then "rolls-back" installation, stating it was interrupted.

    I have given-up and returning it for another unit. I have a choice of the following:
    1) Avermedia TV Hybrid +FM Volar UBS2
    2) Fusion Nano Hybrid
    3) Hauppauge DEC2000 USB TV Tuner

    Does anyone have any of these units working with XPS, or has anyone managed to get U8000 working? Or some other USB Tuner working with your XPS?

    Thanks alot.
