Gigabyte P5100 TV Card

[BojanJ]

I have serious problems with this TV card. I installed the latest drivers, but i have no picture only sound. For viewing i'm using Presto player that came with the card. Card is connected to analog antenna.

Hi BojanJ,

Just want to confirm, you got your drivers from here? GT-P5100 - GIGABYTE - Support&Download - PC Components - Driver

Are you getting any signal in Windows Media Center?

Yes, i got them from that address. Sorry, i didn't mentioned that the card is on computer with Starter edition so ther's no Media Center Can you recommend me some other software?

Ah, Starter - gotcha. I'm not aware of any alternatives, but you might try starting new a thread called "How can I watch/record TV in Win7 Starter?" in the Media Center forum: Media Center - Windows 7 Forums

You could also try posting in the Gigabyte forums: All other GIGABYTE products

Good luck, let me know if you end up finding a solution.

I still haven't find a solution.
I upgraded to Ultimate edition, but Media Center does not receive any signal. Now i need to find a solution for that.

Hi nesha,

Have you tried using the Vista drivers instead of Windows 7 ones?

Hello...

You can try a few things to make your card work... video & sound together !

First, I think you have picture, indeed, but it is totally dark (black).
If you click on video tab in settings options in Presto PVR utility, you'll see that all options are "greyed"... non-adjustable. Try to find somewhere little prog named "Enable Button 1.1" and try to unlock this options and now... try to raise brightness, contrast to see picture as it should be.

If first "trick" doesn't work for you... try to uninstall Presto PVR... and before you install again (but make sure you have latest driver installed and latest PVR version ready for install), right click on setup.exe of PVR and tick "RUN AS ADMINISTATOR" in compatibility tab.

I hope it will help....

I'm waiting for your reply.

Good luck.
