How can I get a USB TV tuner to work with Windows Media Center?

Cameron October 3, 2010

I can’t get a USB TV tuner to work on my laptop with a splitter before my set top box. I have tried to make it work and it cannot get anything more than what the channel TV is on. I am trying to see the functionality of Windows Media Center to record shows. I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
