Yuan EC300 DVB-T TV Tuner Card Crashes Windows 7
- I have an Entertainment laptop computer that came pre installed with Windows Vista Home Premium and a Yuan EC300 DVB-T TV tuner Express card. It worked fine with Media Center but now under Windows 7RC even though Windows 7 installed all the drivers for this as soon as it scans for channels in Windows 7 Media Center it crashes Windows 7 to the blue memory dump screen. It does this every time. The furthest I was able to get was to 19% of the channel scanning before it crashed.
Anyone had similar problems and or knows how to solve the issue would be most welcome to leave feedback.
P.S. I have tried to find other drivers for this but it does the same thing.

It actually did crash my Vista 32bit machine after I installed the new Windows Media Center when that was unofficially released. It must have something to do with the software changes in the new Media Center software. Hopefully this will be solved in some new driver releases. I have contacted Yuan to see if this will be the case.

- Yes I have the same problem with my HP dv9008tx Notebook this DVB-T card came with it. I don't have a problem with it in Vista 32bit Ultimate. Works just fine. Hopefully MS will be able to fix this or Yuan bring out a proper W7 driver. I am disappointed that it doesn't work as it should.

same problem here!- Hi. Yep thats the problem that is entirely driver related. Unless a WIndows 7 driver is produced we will not be able to fix the issues. I havew tried to make contact with Yuan support but no luck yet. Maybe the more people that bug them (http://www.yuan.com.tw/en/support/support.htm) the better chance of them producing a compatible driver.

Ronnie Vernon MVPI have a HP DV7-1103ea Entertainment Notebook. I am running Windows 7 Enterprise x64. I have the HP DVB TV Tuner (Yuan EC-300) Express Card.The driver that I use is this one.......After running this soft pack one must run the x64 installer manually from in the C:\Program Files (x86)\HP DVB-T TV Tuner\Flat Files\EC372_64bit folder as Administrator.The card is then recognised in Device Manager.The driver is working. How do I know this? Because if you also install QuickPlay from......ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43001-43500/sp43325.exe........it works fine. It scans the channels and the card just works as it should.This is a solution to get TV using the card but it is not ideal.I like Media Centre. It used to work with Media Centre on Vista Ultimate x64, which it does not now do with Media Centre on Windows 7.Instead it blue screens when getting to the first channel it finds during the channel scanning process (which will vary, depending where you are, as to when it does that).The blue screen is the old favourite "Page fault in non paged area" one.Therefore to sum up this is (to me at least) 100% a Windows Media Centre problem on Windows 7 by a process of elimination.I hope the workaround will help those who want their express TV card to work, but I like them really would like to be able to use it in Media Centre.RegardsChristopher Conkie MCSE, MCDBA, MCSA, MCTIP- I also have the Yuan EC300 tuner and windows 7 x64 proffesionnal, and i installed the driver for vista and its working with an alternate tv software (like pouchin tv) but when i try tu use media center it starts seaching but after one minute it crashes and i have the blue screen of death.
I tried to contact yuan about this problem but i never got an answer from them. Am now a member of this unfortunate club! Have a HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop and experience all of the same issues when using with Windows 7. Have sent Yuan an email and shall wait to see what happens, if anything will at all. Fingers crossed as I dont really want to have to buy a new tuner card.
Any response I get from them will be posted on this forum.
