WinTV v7 Error messages

First time installation of WinTV v7 or during a reinstallation: “WinTV board not found” or “No TV tuner available”

Step 1: Check the status of your Hauppauge TV tuner drivers in Windows Device Manager

• Click Windows Start, click on Control Panel and click on Device Manager
• In Device Manager, click on Sound, video game Controllers
• You should see your Hauppauge product

Step 2: If the Hauppauge device has a yellow exclamation mark

Click on the Hauppauge device to open it. If you see the following:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
This appears to be a bug in Windows 64 bit OS since the Hauppauge Windows drivers are signed.

The following is the easiest fix to Error Code 52 on Windows 7 or Windows 8 64bit.

• In Device Manager, right click the Hauppauge product under Sound Video and Game Controllers with the exclamation mark and select Uninstall. If you have a USB product you might see multiple listings, please right click the first one on the list. (For this example we will use the WinTV-HVR-950Q. )
• On the Confirm window please check the box for “Delete the driver software for this device” and click OK
• Repeat the uninstall for the other two WinTV-HVR-950Q entries. (note you won’t be asked to ‘confirm device uninstall’ again)
• Once the drivers are removed, right click on Sound, Video, Game controllers and click Scan for Hardware Changes
• Windows should now look online automatically for the 950Q drivers
• Take a look after a few minutes if the drivers are installed automatically properly under Sound Video and Game Controllers.
• If they still come back as “unsigned” try the procedure again

Errors when running WinTV 7: “TVserver cannot Start” or “.NET framework" errors
