    hello, i purchased an HP dv2000t notebook with vista business and expresscard digital tv tuner. i found from compusa that it works with windows xp and vista. i reinstalled windows xp on this laptop and i need to know how to get the tuner to work with windows xp pro. i already installed the drivers for it, and they seem to have installed fine, but what program can i use to watch tv using the installed express card tuner?? thank you all very much.

    If you want to sell things here, please post your stuff in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum and follow the rules there. No advertisements here, thank you.

    mp3lll: Greg was not being angry, he was enforcing the forum rules as a part of his responsibilities as forum moderator. The fact that you mentioned your store and promoted it was why he stated that advertising is not allowed in this forum, not the fact that you posted an ebay link as a demonstration.

    hbomb: I checked my ExpressCard tuner for Vista and have confirmed that it is a combination digital/analog tuner. It is my understanding that XP (with update) will support a combination digital/analog tuner however, only I believe that the HP tuner is designed to work with Windows Media Center which is not included in XP Pro. That means, the best way to use it in XP is by installing windows XP media center edition.

    Note: the TV tuner will not be supported in Vsita Business either as that particular edition also lacks Windows Media Center. The only Windows versions that have WMC are XP MCE, Vista Home Premium, and Vista Ultimate.
