TV Tuner with a 64 bit OS

[ashfoot]

I'm not sure if I should buy a Leadtek TV tuner because I'm not sure that my 64 bit OS will support the software for it.

Does anyone have this OS and a tv tuner that has worked? If so let me know!

Have you checked out Leadtek's site for drivers and application compatibility? How about some other leading sites, like Hauppage.com for the WinTV series? Without doing any research, you may have trouble finding one because of the intended audience for XP64. Many consumer level hardware makers have skipped XP64 support because the general user community was never who it was intended for. It was more of a proof of concept and to get developer's thinking ahead to Vista 64.

ah, ok, thanks for the info.

Did I miss where you specified what OS you are using? :confused: You refer to "this OS", but I don't know what that is referring to. If you are using linux, then pretty much any card that works on a 32 bit system will work on a 64 bit system. The drivers are open source, and most of the time they'll compile cleanly on a 64 bit system.

A friend of mine who runs xp64 bit was raving about a tv tuner he just bought (because he finally found one that supports xp64 bit and it was cheap). I'l talk to him today and get back to you.

The ATI TV Wonder Elite works great with Windows x64, and the 550/650 are also supposed to work nicely.

Thanks guys! I'll have to take a look at those two.
