So when I first moved to college a couple years ago I got an external TV Box for my PC so I wouldn't have to drag a TV with me. It worked great, but I really wanted an internal one so that I could record as well. Got a Hauppauge PVR-150 and it's been working great. (Man that card was great, could easily record stuff, the IR receiver was on a cord and I could hang it up beside my desk since the PC was behind it).

But now that I have a new computer, I installed Windows XP x64 and of course, the drivers don't work. I've googled and googled and tried other people's solutions, but they still don't work.

This leads me to the conclusion that I should probably just get a new card. Any suggestions? I paid $50 for my last one and it lasted me a long time and still works to this day, so I really don't want to go much over that. The main thing is that it's internal and it has to be compatible with XP 64, so I'm hoping there are some of you out there who have experience with a card whose drivers work on it. I need one that accepts coaxial, as well as composite video (for my PS2).

I got a £30 Avermedia AVerTV DVB-T Volar X (reading from the box) it works realyl well i must say, i found it better than my internal Hauppagauge Nova T-500 which was £50 but was incredibly picky with its signal strength and came with crap software (which is easy to replace mind), i left the happuaguage in another pc due to its signal strength demand. I also had a cheap external USB one like my avermedia which worked ok but then mysteriously stopped working (something damaged the actual chip in it i think) and my older pinnacle media internal card which i sold for a reason which i have now forgotten.  Ah it has to be internal,  then i'd probably go with the Avermedia one that Overdose suggests.

I'm currently using a WinTV PVR-350 and it works flawlessly for me! Take a look at Hauppauge's site for drivers for 64-bit. (seriously...how on earth is that meant to be pronounced 'haup-hog'?!)
