Default WMC and W10 query


I'm in Canada so a hack is required to get WMC to use a TV Tuner here.

All pc's in question running either Win7-32bit or Win7-Pro-64bit.
Basically amount of ram in them dictates OS, = 4Gb is 32 bit else ...
1/2 are I5's rather than dual-cores

That said ...

I started with installing a Haupagge USB ATSC/QCAM tuner in a 2.8Gz Dell
using a dual-core Intel chip and an SSD as primary drive. Install went
smoothly and I couldn't be any happier with a crisp screen and flawless
video recording.

Problem is I also have 12 other pc's all similar or even better in
specs. On not one of them will WMC use the tuner always ending setup
with an error message but no error code of any sort.

It appears MS has no intention of fixing the problem as it's been around
awhile now. Nice of them

Therefore question is - does Win10 present you with the same bullcrap
setting up a TV tuner or do they "just work" in the new OS?

Happuage's own software (V7) works fine btw although it does seem to
want to crash upon occassion. They expect you to pay for an update!!!
