I bought a Pixelview DVB-T B1000 PCI card, but sadly it didn't work in Vista 64.

I am looking at one from Leadtek, but it's not clear if it supports Vista 64. (the 7700 does and the 3000 doesn't but not sure how to tell before buying which it is)

I would like to have a remote but it's not a must, I hope to keep the price around the $100 mark but may go as high as $150 something.
But it must do Vista 64.

If anyone knows of a PCI card or USB dongle DVB-T tv tuner that you know works in Vista 64 I'd like to hear about it.

Check out the Hauppague WInTV 2200 (PCIe) not sure if it supports vista64 but it's a nice card.

Being PCIe should be no problem? See http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=14947 re compatibility with Vista 64 & 4GB+ RAM. Current last post (Alexander01) confirms the HVR-2200 works with Vista 64 SP1 & 8GB ram.

I might actually have a usb dual tuner dvb-t dongle for sale, with 64bit drivers. will have to confirm though.

would trade it for a dual tuner dvb-s card/dongle (pci)

Problem is with a few PCI cards & 4GB+ (with Vista64). PCIe seems to be OK.
