I recently purchased the TV Wonder Digital Cable Card Tuner from Dell. I also got a digital cable card from Verizon. I have had problems getting it to work. I was told that I needed to remove Norton Internet Security and any third party firewalls, which I did. I then was told to use Windows Firewall, which I did and made sure that it was working. I got it to work without a problem. When I rebooted, the card was avaiable and when I selected to watch TV it would take about 20 seconds and I was watching TV.
I have Norton Internet Secuirty 2009 and I have it set up with parental controls. I also have read on-line that certain program need to be allowed in order for the card to work correctly. I have added those programs to the program group. It will eventually work.
I have discovered that after my computer reboots, it takes over 15 minutes before I am able to watch TV on the card. My question is why does it take 15 minutes before I can watch TV, when with Microsoft Windows Firewall, I can watch it immediately?
15 minutes to wait for TV is way unacceptable. Is there anyway of being able to speed that time up?
