Anything relating to capture cards, remotes, infrared receivers/transmitters, system compatibility or other hardware related problems or suggestions should be posted here. Bummer, the only other Sony related stuff I have installed now are the 'Sony Shared Library for XP' and 'Sony DV Shared Library' which I'm not sure if I downloaded from the Japan Vaio site or the US site.
I highly doubt if they would make any difference. Actually you've gotten farther than I have since mine is always added to the ignore list.
I'm happy it's usable as a network encoder now but would like to consolidate my hardware a little in the future.Do you get the same results using Recorder compared to SageTV? Also does your card show up as SMRT Capture or another name? In my search to solve my problems, I found something that might be useful to you:Mainly, this part:'Also if your Mpegr2 engine doesnt show up as a device in 3rd party software, a neat trick is to register all sony's filters (those that have a '.ax' extention. You'll find those in gigapockets folder, as well as the sony shared folders.You'll need to register em one by one,by going to the start menu, run.and typing in 'regserv32 `c:program filessonygigapocket (name if.ax file here).
Dru-120c driver for mac. Then just hit enter, and enter again when ya get the popup.' Note that it should be regsvr32, not regserv32. I know that this is an old thread, but I thought I'd let everybody know that I managed to get SageTV working with the built-in TV tuner card in my Sony VAIO desktop. The Sony VAIO desktops come with a PVR-like program called GigaPocket but it really sucks. When I first installed SageTV, I just got a gray screen for all my channels. Then I followed the advice in the link above and now everything is working.Specifically, you need to register all of the Sony.ax files. There are a lot of them, so I automated the process.
Sony Vaio Desktop about a year old, missing repair disk and I am unable to find the PCVA-IMB5A driver. Basically it is the TV tuner card (Giga Pocket) for this Windows Media Center PC we're trying.

First, open a command window by clicking start- run and then type cmd and press enter.From the command window, type as follows:cd 'c:Program FilesSony'dir /S /B.axThis will give you a list of all of the.ax files in all of the subdirectories. You need to copy this list into a text file. First, click the window icon at the top left-hand side of the command window. When the menu drops down choose edit- Mark. Now you can drag the mouse to select the entire list of files. Don't forget to scroll up and start with the first file in the list.
When you have selected the entire list, press enter to copy the text.Next, open Notepad and paste the text into a new document. Now use the search and replace feature as follows.

For example, you could save it as c:giga.batNow all you have to do is run the batch file that you just created. You can either double-click it or run it from the command window.

When you run it, it will display a dialog box for each file that was successfully registered.After I did the above, I was able to use my Sony VAIO GigaPocket TV tuner with SageTV.
Well, it looks like my celebration was premature. Although I did manage to get SageTV to record using my Sony VAIO GigaPocket TV tuner card, the recording is of very poor quality. The video stutters, and the audio is out of sync by several seconds. I'm just guessing, but I suspect that the TV tuner used in the Sony VAIO somehow relies on the GigaPocket software for performance. The PC itself is a 3 GHz Pentium 4 with 512 meg of RAM, so I doubt the problem is PC resources.If anyone does manage to get the VAIO to record reliably, please let me know. In the meantime, I'm going to buy a dedicated PC for my SageTV.

Plus, it required registering all of the GigaPocket.ax files.
If you don't have them I doubt you'll be able to get it working.Gerry.
