I have a Hauppage 2250 tuner, that has worked great. I could receive Digital and Analog channels - strictly OTA stuff with my rooftop antenna.

When the Digital Conversion happend a few weeks ago, I had to run TV setup to re-scan VMC. Now, the analog tuner no longer shows up at all. It only shows 2 digital tuners (instead of 2 digital/2 analog). This happened when the re-scan downloaded the updated configuration settings (for my zip code). 

When trying to "add (analog) channels" the feature is now gone.  I can only "Add Digital Channels".

Anyone with any ideas why this feature has been disabled?  I still use analog cable here, along with OTA low power tv...

Thanks... Mike

 

 

I had a similar problem recently and was able to make it work by manually configuring the tuners isntead of letting MC do it automatically during the TV setup wizard.

I have tried the manual setup method. For example, I tell MC that "cable" is my source, and it says I can set up the Digital Antenna later. Where & How later?? I don't see any options, as it just downloads the guide data and it's done. This is making less sense at every step...
Thanks for your reply!

I've found the HVR-2250 to be an all digital or all analog solution after the switch, but MCETunerApp might help - link below.

As an FYI, I can't even get FM radio on the card because of digital.  If I switch the card to analog (using cable) the FM comes back.  Redo with digital only and a no go.  There is a MS knowledge base article regarding FM and XP MCE2005, but nothing for Vista.

After some more experimentation....

I installed Win 7 RC and it works perfect. I can configure both tuners to work OTA with analog and/or digital signals.
It's definitely a Vista problem.
This must be Microsoft's way of crippling Vista so people are forced to upgrade.... great...
