Can someone recommend a DVB-T card that preferably has drivers certified 
for Windows Media Center Edition? I would really like to get a dual 
digital tuner card but I can't find any but the Terratec offering. 
Unfortunately I bought that one but it has driver problems and won't 
work on my PC. (It reports a resource conflict/absence - but doesn't say 
what resource it is looking for.)

So, a dual tuner would be ideal as I only have one PCI slot free, but 
failing that something else (or a USB one) would do. Hope you can help.

TIA,
Jason

You could try running Depends.exe:

It might help you through your problem.

That's a useful package. Unfortunately it seems to only tell me about 
file dependencies. I think the Terratec driver is looking for a DMA 
channel, an I/O port or a specific memory range - i.e. the resource 
types listed in device manager. Thanks, though, for letting me know 
about the utility.

Try the Terratec site for updated drivers James.

Since you only have one PCI slot available,the terratec card can't find a
good address to instal itself.
You could try removing your other PCI cards and getiing the terratec card
working first,then adding back your other PCI cards.

Have a look at the Nebula uDigiTV master PCI card.  You can
add more slave USB2 tuners as needed.  It works great for me,
but I use their own software.  I believe their BDA drivers are now
MCE compliant.  Not cheap, but excellent kit:

Sorry, just noticed the BDA drivers are OK for the pci version, but
not yet ready for the USB slaves.

Are there any TV cards similar to the Nebula that work under Win98?

No good, I'm afraid. They even pointed me at a non certified beta driver 
but it did no better.

No good, I'm afraid. The Terratec fits in a PCI-express slot. And I did 
try removing all other cards - but same effect.

Good suggestion, though. I have Nebula's USB device. Marvellous little 
box. It works fine with their own software but, as you state, not with 
MCE. MCE has a keyword-based recording option which I want.

I may go for the PCI card version, which allegedly works with MCE. Pity 
it has only one tuner onboard but I'll give it some thought.

For more information about using the Neb with MCE, have a look at:

If you haven't already.
