Quote from: chris121@Taiganet
Yesterday, I finally got a TV Tuner and was wondering if I could have any help on setting it up.
I have one of those wireless remote control Pinnacle TV Tuners from Circuit City.
I'm also running on Vista ServicePack 1

Try uninstalling the the drivers and everything. This could be a problem with the encoder

Do you know how to do that from Windows Vista?

How do you do that on Vista SP1?

You would do the same thing on Vista as you would in any other OS.

Huh? You don't have to search for anything. To uninstall it just go to your control panel, click on "add or remove programs," find your tuner software and click the "remove" button.

Then it probably wasn't installed correctly. Try installing it again.
