Well, as that appears to be a specifically MCE oriented card you should have no problem getting it to work with Media centre.

Are you scanning the correct frequencies ?

Most of these cards come with data files for scanning European frequency settings which aren't necessarily the same as those used in the UK. Try doing a single transponder scan on your known default frequency. You will also need the correct sysmbol rate (6952khz for TW/C&W, 6880 for NTL (I think !) ). QAM is normally 64.

lol yeh i had ago with windows mce ... but couldnt get anywere .... so i installed xp pro again ....

i was useing a 2 way splitter and a converter so it fitted onto the card .. i then used the tt data software to test signal and noticed it was crap signal quality was about 75% and the signal level was around 4 or 5 ....
so i took the cable direct off my modem and held it onto the cards in outlet and the signal quality whent straight up to 100% but the signal level only whent as high as 67% ..... so it looks like this may have been one of my problem ..... nozzer do you know were i can get a conector that will fit on the end of my coax cable and obviously the othere end will need to be the type of end that you would normal plug into a tv ... any links or names of what this connector is called
