📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses issues with Gigabyte TV tuner cards (specifically P8000 and Gt-P6000) displaying a black screen for analogue TV while sound works. Several users confirm similar problems, often related to driver compatibility or codec conflicts, with suggestions to uninstall conflicting codecs or seek Vista drivers for Windows 7. The general conclusion is that Windows 7 does not natively support these tuner cards, and solutions involve driver updates or compatibility workarounds.

Hi and nice to meet you,

I have a Gigabyte P8000 Hybrid TV Tuner, and there is a problem. When I play in Analogue TV the screen is showing only black but plays sound. The digital TV shows ok the images and the video. Do you know why this would happen? I tried most everything i could do, I dont think is a driver problem, because all the other functions are playing normal.

Thanks.

How to fix the black screen with sound only in windows 7

I just went out and bought the Gigabyte GT-6000 TV card today and installed it on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit machine. Like most other people I got the black screen. I researched before using the disk and installed the latest drivers from the site immediately, ignoring the disc except for the MCE Driver.

I also installed the Presto software from the site, as the one on the disc was outdated for 7.

Then I restarted, and I got the black screen with sound. So annoying!

I tried all sorts of stuff. Nothing worked. Till I finally messed around in Presto with the SELECT INPUT SOURCE function, which I did not realize was there.

It was set on Analog TV. I happened...

Hello,

Yes, there are problems with TV Tuner cards.

Did you upgrade your driver.

I have located one here:

This is for Vista 32-bit or 64-bit

Yes, I have exactly this driver. I tried all I could do with the driver :(. My opinion is that the problem maybe is at the ffdshow. Do you think, would be a conflict with the GPU?

I would suggest you remove a ll codec packs using a program called RevoUnistaller
Revo Uninstaller - version 1.83

After uninstalling the codec packs see if it works with them

I tried a search for best codec pack

The two post popular are the K-Lite and FFDshow.

So, I guess I'll leave that up to you

Hey there Polakias! I'm experiencing the same problem with my Gigabyte GT P6000 TV Tuner on my Windows 7 RC 7100. I'm having the exact same black screen and I am able to hear the sound. I have emailed the guys from Gigabyte and the ones from Presto PVR (the software the tuner came with, i suspect you have the same) and I was told that the tv tuner does not currently work on Windows 7. Also I have tried this with no codecs installed then with K-Lite and FFDshow with the same result. So you're not the only one with the problem :)

Please visit this link for compatibility.

If no Windows 7 driver is available for your card, you can check here for Vista compatibility and it also gives you a link directly to the manufacturer.

If it stilll doesn't work, shoot them off an e-main l asking when drivers will be available.

Hello,

TV tuner cards have been a problem in Windows 7.

Give this Link Removed - Invalid URL a try.

Uninstall the previous driver in Device Manager, then run setup

Or try this Google seach for a Windows Vista driver as no Windows 7 driver is available................

I have resolved this problem. I did a clean install, and downloaded the latest drivers and Utility from Gigabyte site. Install drivers and utility and reboot. After that I had everything working, only then I put the cd on the drive and installed the Remote control drivers :)

I f you don't want to format, try unninstalling all drivers and codecs related tith the tv tuner and then do this procedure. I read somewhere that someone did it like that.

Oh it was sugested by Gigabyte

I apologize for my English, I write through the translator. I found the solution in the program's settings. If anyone interested please write to email [email protected] I have a program that unlocks the buttons adjust the video settings. I also had this problem, but with this program, all is well!


only in the subject line write PRESTO PVR

Now I have different problem. I have sound and video but video is pixelized. Like there is no anti aliasing.
Is there solution to this?
Thanks!
TV Card works like a charm on Windows XP 32-bit.
Windows 7 64-bit
