Can anyone recommend a TV card that will work with Vista 64 Premium in Media Center with 4Gb RAM+ ?

I ask because, based on there being a Vista 64 driver on Pinnacles web site, I bought the 3010ix only to find there is no reception with 4Gb. Pull 2Gb out and it works but the point of Vista 64 is to get over the 4Gb limit so I'd hardly call that compatible! Grrr!

Media Center looked realy nice though very easy to record shows and well worth forking out extra for a M$ remote.

Consider looking for a Dual Tuner one.

The card I use is an unreleased prototype based on the ASUS Tiger apparently and has dual tuners which means with Windows Media Center you can record from one channel whilst watching TV on the other - really useful!

Yeah, I got a dual tuner PCIe expecting it to be the latest and greatest and full vista compatible but no go.

Has anyone got any experience of one working with 4gb memory though so i don't waste my time buying another thats the same?

I've always rated the pinnacle and hupauge brands
