It is not that the sound card was not working, because I have every whistle and chime that Vista provides me with, it is that when I select the option to see TV signal, it does not sound anything, even when the visual quality of the image is outstanding. The tuner I am talk... 6 13.07.2007 13:06:08 Still Issues with Permium Content on Sony VGX-XL3 Hi Barb, Posted a while back about not getting premium content with my Sony Vaio with CableCard. Problem seems to be intermittent. Have worked with Sony and they swear it is a signal strength problem. Have also been working with a very diligent Comcast support tech in the CableCard area.

The one exception is the flakiness of the CableCard anytime I have to reboot (and this is Windows afterall!). If you do a standard restart (like after installing an update) 1 of 2 things generally happens. 1 is that the OS doesn't see the ATI tuner at all.

Then when I choose it inside Media center, it offers the option of burn to CD/DVD, so I chose to burn to a DVD.
