Anyone out ther have this configuration woing with windows media center? MCE detects the tuner, but will only let me choose between rogers, and FibeTV? I can't for the life of me figure out how how to have MCE give me another option for this tuner.
(all of my other tuners are fine)
Help!?

Just incase anyone is looking for the answer. I had to select shaw direct from within the hauppauge software that came with the mce drivers.
(The colossus seems very flaky so far)

It's working great with a single Colossus. Now I have ventured out to buy a second Colossus, and a new set of nightmares has begun!
The hauppauge drivers do not appear to allow a DUAL-COLOSSUS setup to work in MCE. I have found some information to get this working, except apparently the IR blasting. (trying to find out how to make that happen with the second card)

3-23-1014 . Works now for me. I too had to run the "hauppauge software".
After you install the drive it appears in the programs.
win 7 - 64bit.
www.hauppauge.com > download and install, reboot after install : drivers + MCE + IR blater .
- start > hauppauge > setupTuner(something). - then choose the input
- in tuner config app -choose the input you need, composite or hdmi, I use composite.
- reboot. If I didn't reboot, the MCE didn't see the config change on the tuner
my HP IR blaster stopped working, so I then plugged in the IR blaster that comes with the HD Collussus tuner, BUT
- install IR blaster dirvers
- run the IR blaster config,
- choose your cable box or satalite box, test
- reboot,
It wasn't working in MCE for me at 1st either.
