I have the following setup :

- ASUS P4P800 board
- P4 with 3 GHz (800 MHz FSB)
- 2x 256 MB DDR RAM dual-channel (400 MHz FSB)
- Windows Server 2003
- WinTV PCI card PVR (with hardware mpeg2 encoder)

I anstalled all latest drivers for Win2k / WinXP ..... presumably they must
work on WinServer2003.

When I start WinTV2000, i simply get the following error :

"WinTV initialization error. hTV=9"

I have hyper-threading enabled and the board runs in APIC mode so i have 24
irq's instead of 16.
The Hauppauge card got irq 20.

Does anyone know what "hTV = 9" means ?
Can the card not run on irq's higher than 15?
or is the problem totally different.

many thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi there,

You're running Windows Server 2003 ? For a home computer ?!?!? Why ?
You'll probably find that if you put XP onto your box it'll all run.

BTW: Do you own WinServer 2003 ? Or is it "being evaluated" ? ;-)

Regards

Mark

This is testing my memory but here goes. I have been researching TV tuner
cards and PVR for the past couple of days. Somewhere, during this time, I
found some information concerning a problem with said cards oft times not
working with hyperthreading. There is a fix available from Microsoft, but it
is one where you must contact them and you are then directed to a page to
obtain the fix for your computer.

Hope this is of some help
