The 32 bit drivers will not install on x64 at all; new drivers are required. If it were that easy, I'd have already migrated to x64 as my daily OS and just installed my HDTV tuner's 32bit drivers...

Basically you're at the mercy of the hardware vendor (Nvidia in this case)...I expect it shouldn't be too long before they update their x64 drivers, but owners of hardware from smaller companies (like many TV tuners, including mine) are basically screwed.

MyHD MDP-130. The only company (that I'm aware of) that has (early) 64-bit drivers for their HDTV tuners is DVICO, and I'm still not even entirely sure that they have basic stuff like cable/QAM timeshifting working yet. I paid a lot of money for the tuner and I'd rather not have to sell it and get another one just to move to a more modern operating system, but at this point it's kinda looking like I won't have a choice.
