Hi All,
I got my Sweetspot MCE Freeview card some time ago from PluggedIn (you might remember my posts at the time).
Having discovered that this is a card that only works under windows MCE I bought MCE 2005 hoping that finally I will get my PVR going.
I made a clean install of MCE before getting the card in the PC. Then I slotted the card in, unzipped the driver file (WHQ517L.ZIP) and as windows asked me for the drivers, I told it to go and get them. They all installed except one. The Radio Tuner stays as a unknown device for some reason.
Unfortunately, Media Center does not recognise the card at all. After reboots, making sure the card is well slotted, changing PCI slots, etc, nothing helped. MCE keeps saying that the card is not there or is malfunctioning.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I know I can get a signal as I have had it installed on XP Professional with the WDM drivers and it worked, ie, the card tuned channels and displayed them on GDI's TV Tuner application.
So I must be missing something. Could it be that the card is really malfunctioning?! Any help really highly appreciated!
Thanks all!
Jack
