    Windows Media Center cant detect tv tuner
    « on: February 28, 2010, 03:25:29 PM »
    Hey, i bought a reburb gateway computer last year that came with the tv tuner already installed and everything was working fine, until a couple of weeks ago i got a virus and had to format my computer. I did it with the disc the computer came with. After i did that i was trying to set up my media center and it kept saying can not detect tv tuner, but i know its there. i thought i had to download driver again but i dont know how because  i dont know what kind of tv tuner i have it doesnt say on the actual tuner. if anybody know what to do please i did help. Thank you

        Download "everest home" from this site. Run the scan. It will show you everything on your computer. Identify your TV tuner and then go to the manufacturers web site and download the required driver.goodluck, truenorth
