You don't mention motherboard chipset. I was having similar problems when I had a motherboard using the ALi Magik chipset and a WinTV Theater. I wasn't able to find any way around it. I went and got a different motherboard with AMD chipset and all is well. Check the Hauppauge page for chipset compatibility.
