I purchased a new custom-built PC from HP in December. It came with a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1290 (Model 85xxx, Combo ATSC/QAM, SW Encode) for my TV tuner. Previously, I had another PC with another TV tuner but I have no idea of the name or model. Since I have had my PC, I am unable to receive a clear picture on channels 96, 2,3,4,5 or 6 and of course it records the same way. HP had me update the Nvidia GeForce drivers that fixed it for a week.
They had me do a destructive recovery, it worked for about 3-4 days and now, they do not have an answer on how to make it work on a regular basis. I am using the same cable company, the same cable and have tested it with an actual TV and it works great but better proof that it is not my cable; I used it with my old PC for 3+ years without a problem. Have you ever heard this problem, do you have a solution? Could it be a Vista conflict, any suggestions? Thank you.
