Go there to Device Manager. Right click on the SAA7130 card (either entry) and choose Properties. Click on the Details tab, and in that drop-down menu choose Hardware Ids. Post that.

2) Download the following application software and unzip, but don't install yet.
http://www.lifeview.com.tw/drivers/p...me/TVR_325.zip

3) Go to you Device Manager and uninstall your current drivers for the TV card. Also, uninstall the unknown device (will most likely have a yellow question mark beside it.)

4) After uninstalling the drivers and unknown device, DO NOT restart your computer, or else the computer will just reinstall the crappy drivers.

5) Immediately install the drivers from step (1). There is a setup console in there so you don't have to worry about installing them from the add hardware wizard. When you get the message that the drivers are not digitally signed, just continue anyways.

6) Download software application from step (2).

7) Restart computer. Upon restart, you'll probably get the found new hardware wizard popup as I did, with the hardware showing as an unknown device. Not to worry, just choose the option in the wizard, install drivers from a specific location, and browse and find the folder in which your unzipped drivers from step (1) are located. Just click on that folder and the wizard will update the drivers to install the unkown device which actuallly turns out to the WDM Generic TV Tuner.

Hopefully these steps will work with your card. PM me if any problems.

Cheers!!!

It didnt work for me, I got the device recognized but the i cant watch anything, a microsoft error comes up.

I have had some issues installing the TV card. I read the comments posted herein, and attempted to download the drivers suggested. My browser would not find or enter the suggested site.

I have installed this TV card several times, and often attempt a normal install to no avail. I now remember the process I used. I just installed the card by copying all of the files from the 'DRIVER' folder on the CD to C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\System32\Drivers.

I then deinstalled both both drivers (probably only need to deinstall the 'unknown' device) and rebooted. When the system returns and ask to install the products, I then selected install automatically (do not go to the internet). The install process will then look for the drivers on the the hard drive and install the TV tuner and the WDM Video Capture.

My browser will not find (error 404) the web site lifeview with the .tw. Can anyone furnish me with the suggested drivers from lifeview for this card?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info! I had however reached this point before by going to lifeview.com and then to downloads. However, when I attempted to access the drivers, I noted that the url requested again has the lifeview.com.tw.

Again, I can go to lifeview.com but any time the access includes the .tw, my browser (both IExplorer and FireFox) will not proceed any farther. I lowered the security setting to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated:-)

Thanks!!!

That was just a guess on my part. At this point you may have to do some intuitive Googling and/or try a site like driverguide.com. Sorry, I don't have this card or its drivers.

**RobRich** · December 19th, 2007, 05:05 PM

YMMV, but it appears the developers of FLY 2000 TV are hosting a reference driver download for Philips SAA713x chipset video capture cards.

http://members.home.nl/fly2000/download_e.html

Be sure to read the "readme" file instructions, as there is some manual file copying involved depending upon what brand/model card you have.

**connerll** · December 23rd, 2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks RobRich!

I had downloaded drivers from driverguide.com and they are now working faily well. However, the latest Windows WDM updates may have helped also (WDM_A403.exe). It is working with WinDVR only the TV setting is ANT while it should be cable I belive.

I may try the downloads you have suggest also... Seems that if the drivers are located on the hard drive they are not to difficult to install (uninstall, scan for hardware changes, and then point to the location on the hard drive). I never could get the TV card to install from the CD (just a comment to possibly help others)

Thanks again!

Hi, I can't get my SAA7130-based card to work at all. My desktop sees an SAA7130 TV Tuner Card, but I still only get a black screen, no static.

I WAITED 4 WEEKS FOR IT! I saw some corrosion but don't think it should affect performance. Oh yeah, the Code 10. I also get a Code 10 for another component, "7130 TV Card." It has drivers, but cannot work. Now I can't see it at all. What the ****?!
