I'm running Media Center 2005 on my hp pavilion zd8000 , I have an HP expresscard analog tv tunner installed, with the correct drivers.

I am not able to get it to work AT ALL

It just says ' Decoder in use' but it's not.

Any ideas?
 
Yuan EC680 Analog TV , exactly

I'm trying the manufactures drivers now, I'm suspecting that hp drivers are only ment to work with the laptop it was issued with ( dv series, not my zd series )

I do have my zd series issued tuner, but it's the size of a bus and a mess of wires compaired to this nice slot type!!
 
Argg, still nothing.. cookie to anyone that comes up with a fix.

"decoder in use" is all I get when trying to view tv in media center with my tuner , its installed correctly.

How can I wipe all my decoders, and which should I use?
