Re: Vista Media Center not recognize 110i Turner

Thank you for the links.
I was not aware that a Hauppauge software encoder was incorporated into the
MCE driver for the analog tuner or the video input to the card.

However the question is. Is the analog tuner supported using the Media
Center application of MCE205 or just when using the Hauppauge WinTV2000
application and I don't think it is since hybrid cards are permitted to
claim MCE support if only one of the tuners(normally only the digital) can
run with the Media Center application. The only exception I know of is
the
ATI 650 for North America is one card that has both analog support(with an
encoder chip) and an ATSC tuner for digital support and the driver for
the
card will support use of both tuners at the same time.

Yes, both analogue & digital portions of the Hauppauge hybrid cards can be
used
in MCE. Of course as MCE only supports one EPG you have to make the choice
as to
whether you want analogue or digital when first you run the MCE setup.

This quite clearly stated in the links that I posted
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_hvr1100mce.html
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/Promotions/vista.htm

I suspect that the Hauppauge hybrid cards are convenient for MCE OEMs as
they
can supply the same hardware configuration whether the end user will be
wanting
to use analogue TV capture or DVB-T.
