The TV tuner WORKED great in XP's Media Center but after installing Vista Home Premium (upgrade) the TV Tuner is not recognized followed by a Media Center crash. All other features (except TV) in Media Center work (ie., Music, previously recorded TV programs, etc.). I installed Sony's TV Tuner patch (http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGCRA842G&upd_id=2451&os_id=28) with & without Norton running but to no avail. My desktop computer specs are listed below and I would appreciate any advice on what to do to fix it that anyone can provide. Thanks.

I've had a problem with a TV tuner in Vista as well, but it was related to not being able to find any channels.

You may need to wait before a proper Windows Vista driver is released. It's probably just a driver problem Vista support is still lacking in CERTAIN areas from some manufacturers *ATI/AMD... or whatever you want to call them*. I'm waiting to upgrade until the all-in-wonder drivers from ATI support the on-board tv tuner on my x800xt so good luck.Just as the other two posters indicated, you will probably have to wait until drivers are released. It has been well documented that some hard ware just won't work with Vista yet. Always check Microsoft's hardware compatibility list before you upgradeAs well as some software.
