I have a HVP-950 TV tuner and my Windows Vista Media Center program want recognize the tuner hardware. I updated the program from the tuner home page, but it still wanted work. I need help!!!!
I had the same problem with my HVR-1600 (PCI TV Tuner). I solved the problem by: 1) Go to the Start menu, in the "Search" bar at the bottom type "Services" and hit Enter. 2) That will bring up the "Services" window. 3) Scroll down to "Windows Media Center Extender Service". Right-click on that and go to "Properties". 4) In the "General" tab, make sure you set "Startup Type:" to "Automatic". Also, hit the "Start" button if the service isn't already running. 5) Hit Apply, then hit OK. 6) Repeat the steps for the following services: Windows Media Center Receiver Service Windows Media Center Scheduler Service Windows Media Center Service Launcher Make sure all 4 "Windows Media Center" services are running and are set to start "Automatically" then run the Media Center TV Tuner Setup again. Hope that helps!
