Hi, I'm running MCE 2005 on XP and I can't get the TV to work. It used to work just fine but now I get a message saying there has been a malfunction or that the hardware may not be present (or if I go into the TV section and click live TV from there I get a message saying video error). My system is detecting the tuner card so does this mean the card has died? I took it out and had a look and there are no obvious signs of a problem (not that I expected to see any) but it just doesn't work now.

I'm not an advanced user of MCE so haven't been fiddling with any settings, etc, so am not sure why it no longer works.

Any advice would be great. Also - if I need to buy a new one is there anything I should watch out for?
