Analog TV Tuner for Windows XP 64-bit

[shashankmittal]

Hi

I am using Windows XP 64-bit. I am planning to buy an analog TV Tuner, but I found that most of the manufacturers have still not come up with 64-bit drivers for their TV Tuners.

I dont need TV recording or media centre capability. Any suggestion...which TV Tuner is compatible with 64-bit?

Any external (standalone) TV Tuner which can directly be connected to the monitor without requiring the PC to be switched on? Avermedia has such a TV Tuner, but is way too costly...!!

Any help would be appreciated...

Most? None. Not even the big undercover names in making OEM TV cards, like LifeView, have come forward with x64 drivers.

🙁

I just saw on the Hauppauge website. The Hauppauge PVR-150 supports Windows 64-bit. 😉

System Requirements

System requirements: Pentium® III processor 1.2GHz or faster, 128MB RAM and 10GB disk drive minimum recommended

Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows 2000, Windows XP Media Cetner Edition

Free PCI slot

CD-RW or DVD writer for burning Video CD's, S-VCD's or DVD's (optional)

I wouldn't bet on it.

I dont see anything on that page about official 64bit support. However, I found some beta drivers posted on the UK bboard for the PVR-150:

There are also third-party drivers that work for cards using the bt848/bt878 driver set. There's a large number of cards out there which fall into this category. Unfortunately capturing using these drivers tends to be iffy at best, as the only program that works for it will drop frames and negelct to insert blank ones when it does, leaving your video out of sync.

Anyway, check out the driver info page here. I'm not sure if the x64 build is there or not. You may also need to do some inf editing for the drivers to work with whatever specific card you buy or own.

The 64-bit drivers for PVR-150 can be found here. 😉

Don't analog tuners stop working in like two more years?

 

[Peter]

They don't stop working, you'll just find fewer and fewer signal sources. Even then you'll still need analog inputs to run your video signal (from legacy game consoles, VCRs, DVD players etc.) into the computer.
