I've got installed a tv card driver in Server 2008 64-bit OS, which in Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS works normally (with Windows Media Center and with the KWorld Multimedia tv application). In Server 2008 64-bit OS it appears normally in Device Manager (as "Philips SAA713x Hybrid Capture Device"), the KWorld Multimedia tv application opens normally, but when Channel Scanning runs the message "Interface not supported" appears. Is it possible that some additional configuration by Server Manager or Local Group Policy Editor etc. is needed, (apart from having enabled Quality Windows Audio Video Experience)? Is it possible that there is a Windows Media Center for Server 2008 64-bit OS?

same problem here...

My DVB-T device (Pinnacle 200e) is installed perfectly like under Vista x64 (with the same driver). But DVBdream says "Cannot Initialize DVB-Hardware". I've tried even more DVB-Apps...but none is working. Which switch has to be turned on to make DVB work under Server 2008 Enterprise?

thanks in advance.

ok.... Server 2008 has no support for BDA-TVtuner! but I love this OS...does no one has an idea how to make it work?
maybe tranfering everthing whats needed from vista?

I don't have a TV Tuner card in my pc here, so I can't help you. As you might have seen there is a topic about this problem on the Microsoft TechNet forums, but they don't have a solution yet... The only thing we can do is waiting and keep our eyes open!

I have the same problem with my AVermedia TV card. Anyone who has found a solution yet?

I am almost betting the world that this is due to the drivers or fimware (built into the card) causing these issues. I did have a ATI 650 something or other card and it had issues in Vista (even though they stated it was Vista certified). It was all due to the way the OS seen the card. After talking with ATI I found out it was the micro code or firmware that was causing my issue. They then told me it was Vista certified, but between the OS and my mainboard it was being reported wrong to the system.

I took it back and made the chain store give me my money back. Then i just put a TV and DVR in my computer room. It cost me more, but my PC is not being used (proccesses) for the tv and recording.

It isn't because of the drivers. Atleast if your tv card has drivers available that work in vista sp1. It's because server 2008 doesn't have support for bda devices. I have terratec usb dvb-t stick. Installed usb over ethernet software and tried terratec home cinema (viewing software) in virtual machine, xp and vista and it worked. So drivers work in this case just fine.

So, is there a way to have support for those BDA devices?

I have the same problem with AverTV Hibryd PCI A16A the driver work correctly but the application crash before start always the driver version is Drv_3.5.x.65_Encoder_3.2.1.62_4.2.1.71 and the application version is v6.0.11.07072503, there are the last from manufacturer and works properly on windows vista x86.
I hope that manufactures correct this isue soon

DScaler 4.1.17 it's the solution at least for CX2388x & SAA713x Cards but you have to use Dscaler's drivers (No WDM ?) for this cards ! Tested on a CX2388x Hybrid card on analog TV & a tipical (out of the box) install of Windows Server 2008 Standard Trial x86 & x64 + drivers!
