Leadtek Winfast DTV2000H, works in 7100 but not 7201  

Thanks alexb411 - after weeks of trying to find a driver and almost going back to xp you have saved me a lot of time and frustration. THANK YOU - your tip worked!!!!!!

no problem ^^ glad to help

I had the DTV2000H working ok on the Win 7 RTM version - never had any issue. Yesterday I installed Win 7 Home Premium and got the same block as others report. I did the download from the Taiwanese site described OK. But when trying to load the new driver my PC froze and wouldn't reboot. Had to use F8 on reboot and use the Win 7 rescue protocol. The new drivers hadn't loaded and the Leadtek board remains unusable. Damn.

Problem Solved guys. The solution is here.

eyz i found out how to make it work, and im using windows 7 home premium 64-bit..

Heres how to get it to work perfectly for Win 7 64 bit, download this driver:
myweb
After that, extract that file. You will get a "Windows7_Build7232" folder.
Now go right click "My Computer" and select "Properties".
Select "Device Manager" and under "Sound, Video and game controllers" right click "Winfast DTV 2000H" and then select "Properties"
Go to "Driver" tab and then select "Update Driver" and then "Browse my computer for driver software"
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" and then select "Have disk"
Browse for the "Windows7_Build7232" folder, and then select the file in that folder (sorry i cant remember which file to select out of the 2 files).
(!!!NOTE!!! should probably restart the PC before you try the tv tuner out)


this worked for me :) and i think you have to install winfast pvr2 in the x86 folder.. i hope this helps

Errr... This only works if the card shows up in the device manager in the first place. For me, I can't even get it there, even with the drivers you suggest. The card was not detected during the windows install

Any other ideas?

Yanta, open the case and check if the card is properly placed. Maybe it budged a bit when you were cleaning or something.

Me not that silly.

I tried the card in an XP machine, works no probs. Put it back in the Win7 machine (in different PCI slot for luck), still no go...

But... I found the DTV Gold Dongle.. $33 each, USB and works like a charm. SO I'think it's time to eBay the old DTV2000H card... Maybe it has value as an antique

hi
i ve used the drivers and the alalog channels are perfect . Unfortunatelly i m not able to tune digital channels , any help?

thank you for your support
