Happy Holidays Everyone. Sorry I was in the wrong forum. I have been having a difficult time with a TV tuner card I purchased from dell. It is a Hauppauge WinTv-HVR-1250 card. It claims to receive 125+ channels, but I cannot receive channels beyond 100. I would like to get some of the extended basic channels that Comcast has to offer. I installed the card into the PC; attached the cable from the wall into the card; and Windows recognizes it. I did the TV setup in Media Center, but I cannot get the remote to work with media center. I have tried numerous times, but I will not change the channel. My TV stays on channel 4 and the switching of the channels is controlled by a settop box. The settop box has a IR Blaster and emitter sitting on it. Obviously I am doing something wrong. Did I buy the wrong TV tuner card? Is my configuration and setup in media center incorrect? Any assistance will be appreciated.

Your post is a little confusing, here's what I am understanding: 1) Your are only receiving 100 different channels from your Comcast cable connected to the HVR-1250 turner card and you are expecting to receive 125 channels. Response: You also state that you have a set-top box, I assume from Comcast. Does it tune 125 channels? Your not going to get more channels from a third party tuner then you are getting from your cable provider's equipment. 2) You can not get the remote control which came with the HVR-1250 to work with Media Center. Response: Have you seen this from Happauge?: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/produ... If you look down this web page to the "Notes" section, it says that the enclosed remote control isn't "MCE certified" and won't "replace the Media Center remote control". You may be expecting it to work in ways that it is not capable of working. Also in those "Notes" is the statement that you have to use something called Hauppauge WinTV V6 application to view QAM channels (that's cable TV). That might also be some of your problem in tuning channels. I don't think this will solve any of your problems, but maybe it will help you define the problems more clearly.
