I have just purchased the Geniatech U610A USB TV Tuner. Its a great product except they do not have Windows Vista 64 Bit drivers out. With all the problems out there with Vista, 64 bit is even more problematic. I have had so many headaches with Vista and this is one more to add to the list.

I installed the product on my laptop that was running the 32bit version of Windows Media Center and it ran like a dream. Its really cool that you can watch HD TV right on you computer. The monitor that I am working on in my room is 37″. I do not have any cable or anything hooked up to it except my computer and this is why I ordered a TV tuner. If anyone has any information on 64bit drivers for this product please contact me. In the mean time I am searching for a new model that supports Windows Vista 64 bit.

Here is some information from Geniatech
