Freecom Usb Drivers

Just a record of my experience with Win7 and this device: Summary is that I did get the drivers to work OK and ProgDVB is so far the best software for this on win7: This is on my Toshiba Portege M100 Laptop with 82855 Graphics, so very much less than ideal setup. Might try the DVB-T on my desktop to check whether the Media Center then works fine with it, but time is tight now. Drivers: I actually used the XP drivers and installed in safe mode with driver signing turned off. Had to install do the install twice in safe mode. 1st time round failed. 2nd time installed OK and was fine on normal boot. Not tried the vista drivers.

Option 1: Update Freecom USB drivers automatically. Prince Paul A Prince Among Thieves Zip here. The Freecom USB Driver Update Utility is intelligent software which automatically recognizes your computer’s operating system and Freecom USB model and finds the most up-to-date drivers for it. There is no risk of installing the wrong driver. The Freecom USB Driver Update Utility downloads and installs your drivers quickly and easily.

I tried to install them later, but win7 said I already had the latest, and the dlls etc look the same in terms of versions etc for the 32-bit, so presumably it's the 64 bit that's different. XP BDA Drivers here: Vista Drivers Here: Media Center Recognised the device fine, and went on to scan for channels fine, and picks up all the channels great for my area. But the problems came when actually viewing the TV or for that matter any DVD. Got the old classic: 'files needed to display video are missing.' Cyberlink PowerDVD7 is installed and works fine with DVDs, so the decoders are there OK. I suspect it's the old intel 82855 driver which isn't compatible. ProgDVB: Loaded this up and set it to pick up the DVB-T as a 'Generic BDA Device' rather than 'Microsoft BDA Compatible', and all works pretty well.
