3 STEPS ONLY TO GET BDA ON SERVER (TV TUNER FUNCTION)
I compiled a setup file, that will add BDA (TV Tuner) function on Server 2008 x86 and x64, without any hassles.
I tested it on a clean installation several times, no issues at all

Changelog

Tested on 7 different x86 and x64 machines, all with different TV Cards, all worked fine

Instructions
Instructions on how to install are inside the setup archive

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT
This setup pack will work on English version of server, en-US versions only.
If you have any other language version then you have to manually copy ONLY
the "mui" files from vista to source\x86 or x64(for x64 version)\system32 and syswow64 if your on x64 version
Then on server same again, manually copy the "mui" files to system32 and syswow64 as well only
if your on x64 version of server, and then run the setupBDA.exe to install.

Thanks, but sadly I need the Vista files. I have no access to a copy of Vista.

Have you tested the winamp tv plugin ? I cant tested right now, but it worked great on vista with Theatrix 550!

nice find, but can you actually use this plugin without winamp, and use it with other tv applications? Were talking about server 2008 tv support here, it works on vista, but server 2008 is a different story.
anyways i will test it and will let you know.
Thank you

Since its winamp plugin, you need winamp to get it running.Ofcourse you can try to port it for other apps too, because its open source.
After the plugin scan for channels it will display them in winamp and you can save them as simple playlist and load them at any time.It also supports recording with hardware encoding, if the tv tuner support it, it works with dvb cards etc etc.
I cant test it right now, but if you really need a way to watch tv, then you can give it a try.
Also dont forget to configure the plugin properly - it will need proper filters to render the audio and video - in my case i installed Power DVD 7 and its filters was available in the options.

Sounds interesting, i will test sometime soon. and will let you know....
thanks

Dumb question: installing BDA on WS2008 makes Fujitsu-Siemens DVB/T-Analog USB to work?

Am not really sure about analogue tv, but digital tv works. You can try installing my current pack to see if your analogue works

Hi,

i have a problem using my SAA 7134-Tuner in analog mode. The Video works perfectly, but I have no sound. I tried DScaler 4 and ChrisTV, but both of them don't play audio. Do you have a solution for this?

Have you setup the region settings? Also you can try the winamp plugin its alot easier to configure..
