Compro VideoMate T750

Hi everyone,

I recently updated my pc and amongst the things I got I got Vista Home Premium and a VideoMate T750 tuner card. I've downloaded all the new drivers for the card but it still wont work in Vista.

Am I missing some critical step, is my hardware faulty or is it incompatible (according to comprousa.com it advertises this tuner card as Vista compatible). My motherboard is an ASUS P5VDC-MX if that helps.

If anyone has any solutions (including recommentations for a replacement tuner card) or has the same problem please let me know.

Thanks

Brett

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

I am having the same problem with Compro T300 and Pinnacle PCTV 310.

My issue is that windows seems to pick an incorrect driver, and when I try and point it to the correct driver it says that the best one is aready installed and thats that.

Does yours work with the software that's bundled with it? Mine doesn't even work using that.

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

I bought it mainly because it said Vista compliant Stamp on the box!

The guys where I bought it from are certain that they get it working fine on my machine in the shop.

When I get home though MCE always says there is no tv tuner device though, despite the fact that these guys "had it working" on my machine.

Please let me know if you get yours working or not. I just want to get a refund for mine so I can get the DNTV! Live Dual Hybrid S2.

Let me know if anyone else has formed an opinion on this card and running it in Vista.

Cheers,

Brett.

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Hi,

My first T750 did not work very well,only picked up 1 station.I returned it to shop.

The replacement card worked fine in Vista picking up all available channels.
I also ran the latest drivers from Compro.

I'm not game enough to load Video Mate software at this stage as Vista has given me a fair few headaches so far.

I'm dual booting Vista and XP and the card and software work great in XP.The FM tuner is a gem.

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Cheers for that Westie.

Still haven't got mine back yet from the shop so I have no idea if it's working with my setup or not.

Oh well, such is life.

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Hi Brett,

My card is now playing up big time!!

My analogue TV works fine as does my old Ultraview Lite digital card so its

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Hi Westie,

I've been since told that the problem is my motherboard. I did a reg hack that I found on a site so now it can at least see my T750. I can only get 3 channels (10,9 and7) of which 10 is unable to be viewed, 7 is stutteriffic so bad its unwatchable, but 9 seems to work.

Damn this crazy world of ours!!

Cheers

Brett

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Hi Brett,

My card could only recieve channel 7 + 9 !!

After all the problems i read about CH 9 reception..

I'm dual booting Vista and XP, the card works equally poor in XP.

More seriously, Vista's sound (SYSVOL) has defeated my SB Audiguy soundcard software.
I can adjust equaliser etc with EAX console but everthing has a hollow metal sound like when Vista starts up.

This has beaten me in the HTPC stakes with Vista.

Back to XP.

If you see someone smashing a hard drive with a hammer in western Sydney....thats me.

Re: Compro VideoMate T750

Hi all,
Just invested in the same darn card.
The compro software fails to work at all in vista, but occassionally works within vmc itself. I say occasionally, as it will sparodically crash vmc.
I gave up tryn to get vmc to work with this card, so went back to xpsp2 (which is dual booted on the same machine), only to not be able to get the card to work at all.
I have already invested the better part of a week on this peice of junk, d/l'd new drivers to no avail.
Can anyone recommend a good anal/dig tuner for xp/vmc's ?

Hey rboy,

I threw that piece of crap out and got myself a DNTV Live! Dual Hybrid PCI-e S2 and I could not be any happier. http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product...NTVDualS2.html

It's a dual tuner so you can run two digital stations, two analog stations or one of each. As it says on their site though their software doesn't support analog, but hey, neither does vmc.
