I just built a new media center computer. Everything works fine except that Media Center does not recognize a TV signal in the tuner card. The card is an Avermedia PCIE Combo. The basic software that is published by Avermedia detects the analog and digital signals just fine. The drivers are supposed to be compatible with Media Center and I have tried to look for generic drivers without success. The Avermedia software is not very good and I built the system specifically to take advantage of the functionality of Media Center.

I ended up taking the Avermedia card out and putting in a ATI wonder 650. Media Center now detects the analog signal but not the digital. There is apparently a fix for this in Vista, but not MCE 2005. It still will not detect the multiple tuners in one card. However, Beyond TV seems to do a nice job of detecting and displying the HDTV signals. I also have the satellite picture via the S video connection. So problem is solved for now.
