I tried and tried to get the Hauppauge 150 to work in my HP 854n with MCE
2005. I even removed the eMuzed card and did a complete restore on my
operating system (formatting the hard drive and reinstalling all
applications, etc.). The Hauppauge 150 wouldn't even work by itself.

Finally, I purchased another eMuzed Maui card from eBay (an eMuzed Maui II
with FM) and installed it. Now I have two fully functioning TV tuners and
FM radio. eMuzed emailed me a newer driver than was on their site which I
tested for them and it works wonderfully. I couldn't be happier. I've
watched one channel and recorded another, recorded two channels at the same
time, and listened to FM radio.
