Hi Guys,
I've posted this in the asus forum - as i'm sure this is a problem with the mother board.
I have just purchased a Kworld DVB-T PC160 tuner card - i've found out this is also sold as a Peak DVB-T PCI tuner card (221544agpk)
I have a Asus p5b mother board - with the lastest bios version. Windows XP Service Pack 3, all up-to-date.
Basically, this tuner card works in all other computers i've tried -- but not in my machine.
When installing correctly, on another machine, it installs the following:
VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller, Via Rev 5 or Later USB Universal Host Controller, and 2 USB Root Hubs -- and then finally installs DVB-T 2 and AF9015 BDA device. The tuner then works fine.
On my asus p5b machine, it only gets as far as installing the usb hubs, not never the DVB-T 2 and AF9015 BDA device. So in device manager i have the usb hubs, but not the tuner.
I "think" the problem may be that the mother board is not allowing usb2 on the pci usb hub in the tuner.
The pci port works - as i've tried a pci sound card and it works fine.
I have bios set to hi-speed usb.
Many thanks for reading!
I have asked this after 3 days of trying to fix the problem myself!
(Somone has the same problem HERE if he explains it better then me. Another person with the same problem HERE)
