Vista HOme Pro 32 bit and USB PCTV HD Stick

My USB PCTV HD Stick works fine with the PCTV program but does not display video or play audio accurately with Vista MEdia Center; it is ver choppy and hangs on the channel when you try to change channels. I have a Compaq Presario SR5350F with 2 Gigs of RAm, do I need more Ram to be able to use Media Center with the TV Tuner?

Buy a 32 gig flask from Amazon 9.00 pound, you might have a file mismatch in files, download a file converter and find out what files are required.

I have Vista Home Premium 64bit and the Pinnacle PCTV HD pro stick i just bought is only capable with 32 bit media center. There is an updated driver on this site that i downloaded:...

Take it back! Either the computer or the Pin. TV Had this system last year on the 32 bit computer and was not happy. There is so much to adapt that it is not worth it. The world is not ready for 64 bit! See if you can use Vista system under the control panel to get it too work. This is mainly for older programs not running on Vista like games, etc. but try it for 64 bit--not sure, but call Pinacle if all else fails. If they want to make sales they must have support!

Pinnacle PCTV pro stick 801e

Hi Adam,

Here is the link for tv center pro for your vista 64 bit download and install this to your computer. http://cdnexpress.pinnaclesys.com/akdlm/SupportFiles/TVCenter/TVC540/PinnacleTVCenterProSetup_5.4.0.3032.exe.
I suggest also to connect your tuner device at any usb port.

By the way you need the serial number for the new tv center pro.

Enjoy.

Sound problem

If you can't see separate audio capture device in VLC and you aren't using separate cable from your device to your soundcard, then you can't get sound with VLC. If you use separate cable, make sure you have selected you soundcard as audio capture device.
