USB TV Tuner in Windows

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2008-01-20 06:46pm

So I have one of them Mac-only TV Tuner USB sticks and I'd like to see if I can get it working in Windows- I know some, like the EyeTV Hybrid, actually work fine with Happauge drivers, despite the claim to no Windows compatibility. Mine is the Miglia TVMicro.

I plugged it in to the PC and it immediately picked it up and registered as a USB TV Device. I downloaded Happauge's 950 drivers and tried to update drivers and have it look automatically, but it says it couldn't find a better match.

It's recognized and says drivers are working properly though. However, this isn't Media center, it's XP Pro- I have no application with which to view the output from the tuner!

Is there any free apps to simply let me view the video that the device would be bringing in? Hauppage has one but it won't install unless it detects their drivers installed.

Thanks for any help.

Sometimes, mplayer will do it, but don't count on it. If you search sourceforge, you should find something.
