I tried the same thing and had the same result. Should we buy another
brand/model of tuner or do you think that eventually a driver will be
introduced that will work for us? I just received my Hauppauge 150 in the
mail today so I could probably return it (but don't want to if the potential
for it to work in the future is great). What's you thoughts on this?
