Re: 0 services found?

That is NOT a tuner. If you don't have a signal cable (cable TV coax) or similar connected somehow to your computer your not going to get any channels, it's no different than a TV, do you get channels on your TV if you don't have the coax/cable box/satellite tuner plugged in to it?

OK, I've discovered that what I have is an external TV tuner - the Philips
OVU4120, in fact
(http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?act=dspProduct&productUUID=EBFA4D66-9EA5-5931-EC4A4F9AE14066DF&segmentUUID=2599F159-B824-8AE6-14B94D15FC6DDA22&id=1223),
and although I seem to have plugged it in and connected it, Windows Media
Center still won't find any TV channels, and I can't find any drivers or
anything like that anywhere on the Philips website.

Go to your OEM's or TV tuner card manufacturer's website and download and
