Sony giga pocket drivers.

Hi everyone, i just recently recieved my friends sony Giga pocket tv tuner card, i am not running either a sony vaio, or windows media center, and i was wondering, if i could find the correct drivers for it, and a app that would run with this card, i tried looking for houres on sonys site, and a few other, any help would be appreciated!

 

you need to provide more info.

whats the model number or serial?

 

I am looking for this as well. I'm using a Sony MSX-10 -- and looking for the drivers for this !@*! thing are driving me crazy!!!


Thanks!

 

ok check the link below:

http://esupport.sony.com/

type in your model number:



if you get stuck you should then use the support email and send sony a question on where they provide drivers for this product.Make sure you include the product.You didnt mention it was a vaio

 

sony allows you to download the driver but driver doesnt istall as it checks that the machine its being installed on is not a vaio. so we need some kind of hacked driver that will work.

 

My experience has been this....

I can only find the 'update' versions of the driver install... which of course will only update something that is already installed.....

I had a chat with the support people, and the ONLY option they provided me was to purchase a set of the recovery discs for my model of machine. I pointed out to them that on their japanease vaio site, the software is available...so why not the english version too? He again responded by suggesting I purchase the recovery discs...

sean,

i'm in the same position as you... however after searching for a few months i was able to find a suitable driver for my card. My card has the following part numbers:

front PCB:
1-860-696-21 ENX-26

back PCB:
pcva-imb5a

after getting the right driver i immediately ran into another problem. it seems the card is useless without the sony giga pocket software. i tried using windows movie maker to capture video with no success. if anyone knows how to install giga pocket on a non-sony system, please help. or if there is another PVR/capture software that is compatible with this sony card please post!

sean,
if you still want the driver, please respond to this thread.

thanks

 

sorry abt that..i just PMed ndeeya

 

zink... pm sent.

let me know how the driver works out for you.

 

hey needya,
here is the thread on sage forums.

you can try sage recorder with it ..they have a fully functional trial version which runs for 14 days i think.

 

zink,

have you succeeded in using sageTV with the sony giga pocket card? according to url you posted, people have either had no success or poor quality; and have required the registration of numerous sony .ax (active x) files.

i haven't downloaded sageTV yet because even if i did, i wouldn't even know where to get the sony .ax files necessary to make it work.

btw, how did the drivers work out for you?

 

hey gang,

i just downloaded sagetv recorder for grins and guess what... IT WORKS! i didn't even have to load any weird sony .ax files.

so to sum things up: i received a sony giga pocket DVR/PVR/TV Tuner/capture card from a working VAIO. the card sat for a few months unused because i couldn't find drivers for it to make it work in my homemade PC. one day i decided to do a more extensive search of the internet and found drivers. then i had to find compatible software to make the card work. SageTV Recorder works.

THE END.

 

I cant find a driver for my sony tv tuner card. Im not sure why serial is what. Please help me.

Hi all, I'm new to this & hope someone can help me.. I have the
same problem . A tv capture card from a Sony Vaio modle VGC-RB45GX
here are some numbers on the capture card 1-860-696-21 ENX-26
& also pcva-imb5a . Windows XP will see the card but doesn't have
compatable drivers... I've already been to the Sony support site
& I know the drivers from Sony won't load on my pc because it does
a check before to see if I have a Sony Vaio. I know someone here was
successful in finding compatable drivers & using a program called
sagetv recorder ... Can anyone help me with the drivers.. Any info
on this would be appreciated..
