I had ordered the Leadtek TV2000 Expert in kind of a hurry because of a deal and then realized it was built for XP and didnt say Vista on it (which at the time I was still in between OS's). Well I just checked Leadteks site and they have a 32-bit Vista driver out for this card. My question is: Does this mean all the cards software will install on my Vista OS? Is the driver purely for low level manipulation? In what order would I install these three components- Tuner Card, Tuner software, Tuner Vista drivers. I would really like this thing to work, but am a little confused on if it is fully compatible. Thanks!

Install it the same way you would in XP except instead of the XP drivers use vista just use the directions and software provided and you'll be fine.

You really only need Vista compatible drivers for Media Center, so that it works with the channel guide.

Ok, I am really looking forward to using Vista's media center for tv controlling instead of Leadtek's. If for some reason this card doesnt work I think it would be worth while to find one that does, the Vista controls are just to clean and organized not to.
