Back On Topic:

Does anyone have a link to get the remote to work in Media Center, and something that allows you to pick up digital subchannels and analog channels in Media Center? The tuner runs fine through MC. The fine print is the problems listed above.

So the tuner is now working?

You'll need to use a coaxial cable and connect it to the receiver. You cannot get TWC on the antenna.

I have to run it through Media Center, which only uses digital tuning.

You have a pinnacle tuner right? I have two three tuners including one of those. The Ultimate one is designed to be plug and play. The reason you never found the software in the add remove programs area is because nothing is installed.

"The digital TV tuner and personal video recorder software run directly from the Stick's on-board flash memory, so you can plug it into any computer and start watching and recording TV in seconds - no installation required. "

This applies only to the Ultimate stick. Is that the model you have? Also why dont you post your issues here:

Take a break, Vic. Your just asking questions just for the sake of asking questions.

I was just asking those questions to see what I can help Chris with. I don't want to say "Take out the card and clean it and put it back in" for a USB tuner...

You don't want to say that with a PCI tuner either.

We're doing a test to see if it will run on my mom's laptop. Then return the other one and keep one.
