I have attached some more pictures so that you have a better look at the card. I managed to get a sharper focus. Maybe you can make heads or tails as to what make and model the card really is.

I tried to get a good picture of the supposed audio chip on the backside of the board but it kept washing out so I wrote everything down below as it is printed on the chip if that helps any.

Thanks for the 32-bit Windows 7 drivers! Very much appreciated.

However, maybe you can help me "finish it all up"? Once the drivers and card were installed, I'm getting a black and white (fuzzy) picture and the audio is not syncing right. This is in Windows Media Center.

I saw you made mention of both of these issues in the thread.

Is there a link to a TV Tuner software application that I can use instead of WMC? Nothing I can find for this card has worked for me.

Thanks.

Hi, are you using the tv tuner or composite/svideo inputs? Do you happen to know what tv tuner it is, philips 1236 mk3 or 1238 mk5? You can find this on the card itself. Also, you can use virtualdub or windows media encoder or adobe flash media encoder 2.5, or kmplayer. There are others, but I haven't tested that many applications with the drivers.

dani9678, thanks for the pictures, I will be doing some research on this to correctly identify your card, and to see how to get drivers working.

 

[dani9678]

OK thanks much

I will check on the card model at work tomorrow.

Our setup is pretty basic. We have coax coming from the wall to the tuner card. The PC is connected to a projector via VGA.

If you find the tuner is the 1238 version, I haven't gotten it to work properly yet. However if you have the breakout box, composite and svideo, you could always hook up a vcr or so and connect coax to that and view through composite input.

 

[Milardo]

OK thanks much

Hi, after doing some research I couldn't really find out how to instal it, but I found an actual 64 bit installer .exe for the drivers for your card. Also, i found a couple more of those manually install drivers for reference. Also, from the site below, i have found that it is a ati tv wonder with the bt878 chipset

New 3rd party universal driver for TV Wonder - Rage3D Discussion Area

Try the 64 bit installer and see if it works.

 

[dani9678]

Awesome... I'll try those and see how it does and let you know. Thanks

Hmm...not sure what version I have. Maybe you can decipher my pictures?

 

[Milardo]

From your first picture there is the marking FQ1238 which means that your philips tuner is the FQ1238 MK5. I have not yet able to get that tuner working properly.

 

[dani9678]

I managed to get the drivers to install for my card but now I need a program that will allow me to view my shows with the card under Windows 7 64bit. Do you have anything in mind that I could use?

Matt

 

[Milardo]

That's great. You can try virtualdub, windows media encoder 9, adobe flash media encoder 2.5, kmplayer, those are just some. Are you using the tuner or the composite/svideo? By the way, did you use the installer or did you have to manually install the driver? Let me know if you need the actual download links for the above.

 

[dani9678]

I'm trying to use the tuner. That's the problem I'm currently having now. Trying to find a program that allows me to change channels on the card.

 

[Milardo]

Virtualdub, wme 9, and adobe flash media encoder 2.5, kmplayer have the ability to change channels.

 

[dani9678]

I looked those up but after reading up on them, none seem to provide the ability to change channels. They either are just players for multiple formats or editors to make changes to your videos in addition to playing them.

 

[Milardo]

Well for virtualdub, you choose the option, capture avi and then select your device and then you have options to select tuner and also the option to select channels.

 

[dani9678]

I went ahead and downloaded virtualdub but am having trouble getting it to work after selecting the card. I'll work with it some more tomorrow. Are you familiar with using this program? I'll check back in tomorrow.

 

[Milardo]

I am familiar with using the program. Let me know what you need help with. If you can post some screenshots of how it looks like, like what I posted above.

 

[dani9678]

Here are the following screenshots. When I get to the second part for selecting video source, it says there isn't any video sources available. I currently have the coax connected to the card.
