Hi chandru4ni
If you have a video or dvd recorder , connect it to the scart or analog output , using the recorder tuner . It might work . I'm afraid there is no other way in your situation .

Hello,

the card will work in your hp if you have the expresscard slot on either side of the laptop, take a peak in the slot - remove the plastic holded from it, look at the shape of this card, if the slot matches then yes.

if you don't like that answer and would like a more solid one, post me the exact model number of your DV2500 SERIES laptop. model example: DV2599EHGFDA

this tv tuner uses NTSC for analog tv and ATSC+ for digital TV.

NTSC is used mainly in the united states and australia uses PAL format.

so most likely this card would not work in australia, unless you know there is digital ATSC+ format available.

Hi

could you have a look into the device manager - right click on your "my computer" or "computer" which is either on your desktop or in the start menu.

Select Manage from the list.

On the left side you will see Device manager on the list click there.

Now on the right, do you see any Yellow ? marks.

Can you find the card from the list?

If you unplug the card does something dissapear from the list or if you reinsert the card does something come up?

Yes, you cannot watch TV without one! They are easy to set up and produce both digital and analog. some of the more expensive ones even allow HDMI. cost anywhere from $50-$300

The cheap ones work quite well.

you just need to download this freeware... unknown device identifier.. it will automatically find the driver that you need.

There are 6 gold prongs that come together at the end of the cable that plugs into the express card...use a fingernail or sharp object to delicately bend each one of these outward just a tiny bit. This will make a more snug fit.

Right click My Computer and click properties. Go to hardware tab and then the device manager. Check if there is a yellow mark against any entry. If there is then it may be your new expresscard. Right click this entry and update driver pointing where the driver is.

If you have video/audio inputs 1 yellow, 1 red 1 white, then you can purchace a HD converter box and use that box to attach the rf cable and then input the RCA jacks from the Converter to the TV.
Good Luck

It sounds like you have corrupted drivers. Remove the TV card drier and the Nvidia crd driver, reload the Nvida driver and the reload the TV card driver in order. The problem should go away.

monitor prob. get your monitor serviced

You need to connect the ariel to the vcr, then the vcr to the card, using a male/female fly lead. Then I suggest putting an origional film tape into the vcr, press play on the vcr and then scan in the channels on the card. It should pick up the vcr's output of the film that is playing.

The important information you need to know is that HP no longer manufacters that part,
Third party vendors do sell it however and the part # is 407342-002. It took me forever to confirm this by a photo but there it was.

In QuickPlay, AV input is under media (the Icon that shows headphones, movie reel, and photos), not under TV (Icon of monitor). Why they put it there, I have no idea, but that's where I found it. BTW, I'm running QuickPlay 3.7 v.6112

Before you go that far, realize that the cable itself may be the problem. Usually poor picture quality can be traced to poor cable connections. Also, another possibility is poor connections inside the tuner of the set. I assume that you are using a cable box. Some of the newer boxes have direct video connections which will connect as you describe. Check the condition of all of the cables and connectors before yo invest in anything.

Keep us posted.
