Issues with AverMedia H339 Hybrid TV Tuner Card

It isn't clear what you're asking.  If you do get 24 channels, it's very possible your provide scrambles the others - meaning you'd need to connect the output of your cable/IPTV box (whichever you've got) to the input on the card.

I don't know why when he set up manually and i installed the co-axial cable from the wall through the laptop using the small adapter i have only 24 channels.

Why would you expect more???

I currently have the basic cable package with Comcast, and I get about that many channels.

If you are getting more channels, you most likely are using a cable box. The signals have to unecrypted by that box before the AverMedia device can see it.

In the settings when scanning for the channels,you also have to check the box that says"show/scan encrypted channels" even with the cable box.

Attach the antenna to your TV - if you can receive more than 24 channels, then perhaps there's something wrong with the tuner in the system.  More likely, you won't see any more on the TV - meaning that's all you can receive.  And you would indeed still need the tuner to receive from the cable box.

Your expectations are out of line to reality.  Even with a wireless notebook, in most cases you have to pay for service in order to connect - whether that's at home through an ISP or to wireless hotspots.  The service isn't free.

Yes, there are still over-the-air TV signals - but in most places you are doing very well to receive two dozen channels.

Also remember that in the US, analog TV is just about gone - the days of getting some reception even with weak signals are over.  With digital TV, the signal either works, or it doesn't.  There's no in-between.

I got this laptop with the TV Tuner Card  to have the option to watch TV on the go using the aerial antenna...  If i have to watch TV connecting the co-axial cable from my Cable TV provider to my laptop, so it not should be  necessary to order this card...

The example is very simple:  Somebody offer you a wireless laptop to have the chance to connect everywhere, but when you try to start your wireless device  you noticed that doesn't work and the seller said that you can't connect wireless and have to connect via wired....  You accept this condition if you want to go wireless?

You have no clue what you are talking about.

The TV tuner card is only capable of getting as many over-the-air channels as a TV located in the same location. If you are having to subscribe to cable, then the TV tuner is a waste of money.

Not to mention it's a HYBRID tuner,you can not pick up all of the channels you get thru your cable box unless it is a digital tuner ATSC(Clear Qam) capable.I am not familiar with this tuner but being hybrid i am pretty sure it is not a digital/analog tuner.

EDIT: Im sorry i just googled this tuner and it is NTSC/ATSC capable.

Hi I have XPS 17and have same problem No channels found. Reason TV tuner was not correctly connected ( no connection at all).

I go thru all service dell support for 3+ weeks and... nothing. I request service dell in my home to check laptop and connection was the problem.

Hi Swavek

I have same problem. What did the service dell tech guy do when you say "connection was the problem".

Did you connect with HDMI cable or did you need to use a ariel covertor?

Thanks in advanvce... :)
