The TV tuner card in your PC is an essential piece of hardware for Beyond TV. Beyond TV uses the television signal that the TV tuner card provides to record programs and display live TV. Before installing and configuring Beyond TV 3.5, ensure that you can watch TV in the TV viewing application the manufacturer provides with your TV tuner card. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for guidance on installing and configuring your TV tuner card.
Beyond TV 3.5 only supports use of WDM (Windows Driver Model) drivers with your TV tuner card. Beyond TV employs the Windows Driver Model because this type of driver is compatible across all Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are using VFW (Video for Windows) drivers, an alternate model for device driver development, or you have not updated your WDM drivers for some time, refer to your card manufacturer's website to obtain the latest WDM drivers available for your card.
