Best way to swap tuner cards
Not sure to ask here or in the media center forum..
I am ready to swap out a hauppauge hvr-1800 with a hauppauge hvr-2250. I'm not adding a tuner, I am replacing one.
What is the proper proceedure for this so the mc doesn't break. I learned on a vista install that once a tuner is installed and configured, it is best to leave it alone. I never did solve my problem with vista after updating drivers for the tuner. I had to restore a drive image with the old drivers.
So.. Uninstall the old tuner card in the device manager, then swap hardware? Just swap it and hope for the best?
The concern is not with the device manager or the os, it is with the mc part of the system.
I've read threads that on occasion if something goes wrong in wmc with the tuner(s), a new install may be required toi fix it. Sorta saw that with my vista setup.
