Help! I have a eMachines T6216 that I installed Win7 on and my TV tuner card will not work now.... any pointers on how I can get it to be recognized? Have downloaded and installed ccc from the AMD site. Not quite sure what else to do. I did try the AMD forum and someone said I needed to go out and buy a new card - I hardly got much mileage from the one I have. Cannot believe I need to go out and spend some more money. Windows media say there is no card installed. Thanks

AMD has discontinued support for this tuner and there is no way that Windows 7 Media Center can detect it. Most that you can do is to try installing XP driver and running XP software for the tuner in XP SP 2 compatibility mode (Setup File Properties > Compatibility Tab), yet a very slim chane that it will work
