    Do you have a Media Center Edition Sony Vaio?

    Hi, I have a Vaio PCV-RZ which is identical to the Media Center Edition
    ("MCE") one. Mine didn't come with MCE but I installed it via my MSDN
    subscription, and bought a remote.

    All I'm missing now are the special drivers for the Sony TV Tuner/Capture
    card. Apparently the MCE Vaio comes with special updated drivers. They're
    not available yet at the Vaio Support page.

    Can someone here with the MCE Vaio please Zip and e-mail me the TV
    Tuner/Capture drivers. They're normally in a backup folder in the c:\ drive.
    I'm assuming it's the same card I have as they're all RZ-series machines. In
    Device Manager it's called "Sony TV Tuner (4830) WDM TV" and "...WDM Video
    Capture". If I look at the PhTvTune.inf file in the driver folder, it
    mentions ASUSTek. The driver version of TVTuner is 1.6.0.2 and Video Capture
    2.2.1.1.

    Thanks in advance! Please post a reply if you e-mail them, so I can look out
    and so nobody else needs to.
