    Have a MSI TV@nywhere Plus TV Tuner. Love the card. Works great. Just upgraded to XP Media Center. TV does not work in Media center. Found out you need a Media Center TV card. Hate to buy a new card. Are there any programs or drivers out there that will allow me to use the card with media center?

    I would say not, this is why a lot of people arent using MCE, try a free program call Media Portal http://www.team-mediaportal.com/
    way better and good support from all around the world.

    Don't think you have the same problem. My card works great. The problem I have is the the card does not work with xp media center. Works with XP but not media. Need a mpeg2 plug-in for media center. See that CyberLink just Launched a program, but not out yet or I can not find it. Any other way?

    I do not have this card but mine (Avermedia 1500MCE) would work with XpHome but not Medicenter. Had to go to manufactures website and download a driver for them to work together.
    I could not install the actual software program that changes the channels because Media center already has this. After that I just set it up in My TV and its fine.

    This card will not work with xp media center because it does not have a onboard mpeg2 deoder. i treied everyway out there then bought a hauppauge 150 and got MCE drivers from site and works great!

    MicroStar (MSI) TV @nyWhere Plus (PCI)

    To set the TV system up:

    1. Right click on the orb panel or the screen.
    2. Select, Reset TV Frequency Table
    3. Choose your country / TV System and click on Next.
    4. Select your Scan options, Antenna, cable, etc. and click Next.
    5. Click Start to rescan the system. Make sure you have the cable plugged in, or an antenna connection connected to the PCI card's 'L' bracket.
    6. When the scan is complete, click Next.

    The system should now work.

    I just installed MSI DigiVox A/D USB card on a windows XP media edition notebook (Acer Core 2 Duo).

    Running under its own software (ie not in media centre) it work both analogue and digital. It is a bit clunky, sometimes will not open without reeboot, but picture quality very good. Takes over 30 secs to change digital channels sometimes/sometimes freezes.

    Under media centre it just says cant find tuner - despite the box it came in saying its mce compliant. MSI help site first said it doesnt work with MCE which is wrong. Then they said digital will work - analogue will not. My understanding is MCE does both but not switchable, you have to go through MCE setup.

    Anyhow I am now in touch with MSI Austalian office trying to resolve the MCE problem. Will keep you posted if you wish.

    Regards, Doedau.
