WinTV tuner with Radeon 9600XT under XP - but no video!
 

Simply put:

The setup is this:
Win XP
Asus Radeon 9600xt
WinTV GO FM PCI
Cable TV connection
WDM drivers downloaded straight from the Hauppauge web site.

The problem is this:

I connect the coax (straight from the wall) to the TV-in (coax) on the
WinTV card.

I then run WinTV2000. I ask it to autoscan for channels. WinTV2000
proceeds to detect the 80 or so live channels in the 125 channels in our
cable system (Cablevision).

Then - no video, no pictures! Not even a hint of a picture of a station in
any of the channels.

I try the Asus Digital VCR application (essentially the same functionality)
- same result.

No problem with the cable service itself. I plug the same coax into my VCR
and my 125 channels are all there, bright and clear.

For good measure, I connected the composite out from the VCR to the
composite in on the WinTV; no luck.

I tried tech support at Hauppauge - very courteous but ulimately unhelpful.

I must be missing something fundamental, but I can't figure out what. This
problem bugs me to no end - I'm not a great tv fan, but it is now a matter
of principle!

Any ideas?

Have you tried setting it to something other than cable and scanning?

On my cards usually there is cable, antenna (forget what the input is
called ) and the S-video or composite input.

If you set it to the composite input and you get nothing then you
might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
