See bottom of the page for an updated link for help and future support 3 STEPS ONLY TO GET BDA ON SERVER (TV TUNER FUNCTION) I compiled a setup file, that will add BDA (TV Tuner) function on Server 2008 x86 and x64, without any hassles. I tested it on a clean installation several times, no issues at all Changelog: QUOTE 07/09/08 -No more devices found error -Minor bda.inf tweaks -No need to reboot after installing now 22/06/08 -Fixed a MAJOR bug which prevented the installer from not installing BDA on server -Updated BDA Installer files with latest DirectX 9 Redist June 03/06/08 -Fixed x64 Directory source file copy error (BDA was not working on x64 systems due to source files not being copied to the right directory) -Now installer uses x64 version of "regsvr32.exe" to register x64 source files, and x86 version of "regsvr32.exe" to register x86 source files 29/05/08 -Added x64 support -Made corrections to x86 installer -Added more filters that were missing from previous installer pack -Fixed "kxsbar.ax, kstvtune.ax invalid errors Tested on 7 different x86 and x64 machines, all with different TV Cards, all worked fine Download Link: CODE See below for an updated link and support ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have made an updated version of this BDA installer to support Server 2008 R2. I will NOT be updating this page anymore.

The only thing that I had to do was extract bdasup.sys from BDAXP.cab and place it into C:\Windows\System32\en-US. The Compro TV viewer does not work, but that's not a problem because I use Webscheduler to record my shows and I convert and watch them later. Thanks for posting this solution. Cheers Zac

Cheers Zac The "bdasup.sys" file is already on server 2008 located on C:\Windows\System32\drivers. The "BDAXP.CAB" Has the old version of it which will cause problems (maybe). my advice is replace the old bdasup.sys FILE you copied from "BDAXP.CAB" with the original server one

Just run the file bda.inf from "BDAXP.cab" (from latest direcx download)again, and restart (right click on bda.inf and then choose install). if its promting you to install pnp devices that it finds, then just click cancel for all of them if it still does not work, then run bda.inf again, and this time when it finds the pnp devices, just locate and install. when its prompting pnp install make sure you browse to the files extracted from "bdaxp.cab" Also the guide is sort of confusing, double check everything, and repeat all actions from my guide again if its still not working.

Make sure you have the latest "DIRECTX" installed. also a decent codec pack run this file from DXSETUP.exe from the latest DX9 Redist download if it still does not work then do this: run the file bda.inf from "BDAXP.cab" (from latest direcx download)again, and restart (right click on bda.inf and then choose install). if its promting you to install pnp devices that it finds, then just click cancel for all of them if it still does not work, then run bda.inf again, and this time when it finds the pnp devices, just locate and install. when its prompting pnp install make sure you browse to the files extracted from "bdaxp.cab" Also the guide is sort of confusing, double check everything, and repeat all actions from my guide again if its still not working.
