Vista Media Center Tuner Not Available
I have a Gateway GM5420 running Vista Home Premium. It has a Vixs PureTV-U 4899 as a tv tuner.
I also have an Xbox 360 hooked up to the computer (and as an extender). What happens is that I constantly, but not always, get the 'Tuner not available' message when trying to watch live TV. I was having this problem about a month ago and decided to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Vista. Things worked smoothly for about a month, but now I once again am getting the Tuner not available error. Sometimes, if I restart the computer, the tuner will work, but sometimes not.

I am having issues with McAfee Firewall (Security Center 9.3), Windows Vista/Media Center, and my ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner running on a DELL XPS.

My ABC is running 11-VHF analog and 55-UHF digital. Post transition. ABC stopped on 55-UHF and put the digital feed on 11-VHF.

You mention its an analog tuner, so OTA may not be the issue at all. But you would benefit from describing your input source in more detail. 'Matt' wrote in message news:0E767424-DFC3-4F01-8C10-877B87090EB6@microsoft.com. Matt 06.03.09 14:23.
