And have you tried the latest driver from the link?

It looks like my tuner is an Lumanate Angel II MPEG Dual-TV Tuner

.Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am running MCE2005. I looked at the tuner card and cannot identifu the
make or model. It came from Dell with my XPS 410. I don't see anything in
device manager to identify it.

The reason it asked for the IR device is that I told it I had a STB so I
could try some of the other display options. I did try antenna as well with
no luck.

The display reminds me of how the display would look when on the wrong
channel with one of those old TV/Game switches you used to have use with the
Atari's and other game consoles.
