Doug
Thanks for the input. I'll re-install, a 3rd time :( Not the 1st time this
has happened to me. I thought the TV signal option was only available on the
1st instance of the setup wizard, but your post would inicate that TV signal
should always be available, and I now know to check the HAUPPAUGE WINTV-PVR -
150 itself.

If anyone out there has this card , and had problems with either the TV
signal option unavailable, or your system seeming to forget it even has a TV
tuner installed, please share your feedback.
Thanks,

Brian
