before doing the install.

THE INSTALL:
Download the Kram drivers (download here). Unzip and keep handy. We’ll be back to them soon.
Now, install MCE rollup 2, if not installed already. If you are unsure if you have MCE Rollup 2, Open MCE, go to Settings, then General, then About Media Center. Under the Version number, you’ll see Update Rollup 2 if it’s installed. If not, go online to Microsoft Update, choose the custom option and download Rollup 2 (KB900325).
Next download and install the current drivers for your tuner and the card (or USB tuner) according to the directions.
Next, you'll need to check for MCE compatible decoders. The HDTV Wonder install CD comes with Cyberlink Audio and Video decoders and some other applications might have already installed compatible decoders. Download and install the Microsoft Decoder Check Utility from
here.
If you don't have any compatible decoders I would suggest purchasing the Nvidia Purevideo Decoders. Vista Media Center actually provides decoders by the way.
Now it’s time to use the Kram drivers.
Go to MCEE, run setup and reboot.
Congratulations you should now be able to use your hybrid tuner in MCE for both analog and digital/HDTV TV, and if it has a FM tuner, that'll work too!
Open the MCE application, go to Settings to begin TV setup.
Note: Once setup is complete, and you start Live TV, you will be at the lowest analog station in your area. Channel down to get to the digital stations.
