Wintv-500mce oversized recording

I am having a problem with one of my tuners on my 500mce recording and live tv. The picture is very oversized and stretched. This only happens on one of the tuners but during live tv and recording. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks. Jim

Re: Wintv-500mce oversized recording

This is a common problem if you are using the newest drivers from Hauppague. I installed the drivers from Snapstream and that problem went away.

You can find the drivers at:

This only happens when starting BTV from a fresh reboot. Once I've started Live TV once it goes away until I restart again.

Yes, I had the exact same problem. Removing the Hauppague drivers I got fresh from their site and installing the ones specified by Snapstream fixed it for me - as johnmacd says.
Good luck.
