Digi@nywhere A/D Not playing well with Vista Media Center

[jasbur]

I just got this card - it would have been nice if this limitation was documented somewhere by MSI!
Truth is, I don't even care that it won't support analog. I wanted to use it for QAM, but Media Center only sees it as ATSC.
Anybody have any ideas?

Which card did you buy?

I think you bought the wrong type of tuner. The Digital@nywhere card's ATSC tuner is only for 'over-the'air' digital reception, ie through an aerial/antenna, not through cable.

As far as I am aware, MSI does not make any TV tuner suitable for receiving QAM digital cable signals.

Guess I don't have a digital@nywhere. I have a digi@anywhere A/D (no L)
and it does say QAM

Topic split as you have a different card!

What OS are you using?

 

[jasbur]

Vista 32 Ultimate

Have you tried scanning for channels?

Sorry. I couldn't remember if I actually scanned so wanted to get home and try.
I get to the point where is says "scanning for digital antenna signal" for a few minutes, then it says "A TV signal was not detected."
It's plugged into my Comcast cable for QAM, but I never get the option to select what type of tuner I have or want to use.

It seems from your last comment it's set for antenna and not cable ("...where is says "scanning for digital antenna signal" for a few minutes,...")input. There has to be somewhere you can change the setting to cable input from antenna that it's obviously set at now.
