Some background info:
I have the Hauppauge 150MCE TV tuner. I've had it for around a year, used in my current computer and it works great.
I just bought an AM2 system which I will now use for a family PC/HTPC. The motherboard has integrated DVI and also S Video, so I figured I wouldn't need a video card (it's the only reason I got this board actually - didn't want to buy a video card)
I was going to just buy a new TV tuner, but I decided I would just put the current TV tuner in the HTPC instead since I could just use that to record things.
Well last night I installed the TV tuner, and downloaded/installed all software and drivers from Hauppauge website. When I opened WinTV2000, I just got a black screen. No audio since I don't have speakers connected... I could try it and I think I'd get audio actually. I didn't think of trying that before though.
Anyway, I read on their site about the video overlay stuff. I guess since I am using onboard graphics, the video isn't able to be displayed? I tried changing the overlay settings in "Primary" (program that came with tuner software) but it did not help. Actually one of the settings allowed one frame to show up. When I changed the channel, it would show that one frame but that's it.
You guys think I need a video card or something? Is there a different TV Tuner I could use that would not require a video card? Or can this problem be fixed somehow...
