Have you installed the OS? You will also need an MCE encoder. You can google “MCE encoder”. There are several sources including Roxio and mainconcept. I believe that you can download the Roxio and try it. Many of the ATI AIW cards are not fully compatible with MCE. The video card portion is, but the tuner is not. I suggest you double check with them to confirm that your card is fully compatible. Setting up the TV recording is pretty straightforward. If you’re already past the foregoing, email me and I’ll respond with instructions. MCE has many features which I’m very happy with, and some limitations Im not. Good luck.
