Pinnacle 52 64 Bits Download
As a footnote to this post I would add - beware of Windows Update attempting to reinstall the old unusable drivers to your Dazzle 71e! I made the mistake of not checking what I was downloading, thought it refered to my RealTek NIC and Turned my usable Pinnacle PCTV 71e into an unusable RealTek 2831u again!
So if you find you have that sort of update, hide it! Thank goodness for system restore - phew.!!!
Old Mig15 pilot. I had this happen too. Sometimes Microsoft think's they're cleverer than we are!! (and on the whole, they're probably right!!) For UtenteAnonimo. I can't quite remember exactly how I did this, so I've just removed the drivers, and started from scratch to get you an answer, and had the same problem you have with it telling you the correct drivers are already installed. However, I did manage to get it to install the correct (Pinnacle) drivers by going through the following: Uninsrall the (Realtek) drivers (and tick the option, on the confirmation window that opens, to remove installed drivers). Remove the USB device.
Jul 25, 2015. Tadaeng, Bangkok, download pinnacle 52 software your babys. From PowerUp Software: Pinnacle Game Profiler is a program that allows you to emulate your keyboard and mouse with your video game controller, and otherwise customize the controller's behavior. Many PC games do not directly support game controllers, but with Pinnacle Game Profiler you can use almost any controller.
Close Device manager. Re-insert the device.
When the Device driver install popup appears, there's the option to cancel checking windows update for a new driver, click it quickly, before it gets a chance to do anything. Then, open Device Manager, and point it to update to the Pinnacle Drivers of your CD (or wherever, but note that ONLY the drivers specifically for the 71e seem to work with this device - and checking the.inf file, this will only work with this device too) If that doesn't work, try the process several times, after a couple of attempts, it will give you the right drivers installed.
I suggest a reboot after this, to ensure everything is OK. I've been trying to find information on the Dazzle 71e problem myself - now using Windows 7 RC (7100) - and have had no success whatsoever with Pinnacle's TV software, or locating drivers on their site, BUT I managed to find a workaround. I extracted the installation files for the latest version of the pinnacle software for this card from Pinnacle's web site, and easily installed the Vista drivers for the TV Card (which seems to appear as a Realtek device for some reason) through Device Manager, you can then use this TV card through Windows Media Center.
It was a fairly simple process - and I actually prefer the new Windows Media Center to Pinnacle's offering, anyway!! Try this, and see if it works. I can provide more detailed instructions if needed, but iit should be fairly simple. Damian, listen thanks for your help.
If it hadn't been for your input I would NEVER have figured out how to do this. I eventually started using my over 60 year old grey cells. I explored my Pinnacle Studios PCTV installation CD/DVD?
And found a driver for the Dazzle 71e - hurrah.!! Whats more it installed - amazing. WMC immediately recognises the TV stick and uploads the program list and EPG details. So I am now watching manchester United lose to Barcelona in the Euro Cup Final. So the trick is, use the drivers on the CD [not the ones Windows insists on], ditch Pinnacle Studios, and use WMC. Thanks again.
You couldn't help me get an old Canon CanoScan 3200F flat bed scanner to work with Windows 7 RC could you.??? Or perhaps an older Creative NX webcam to work.??? Old Mig15 pilot. Hi - In theory you should be able to use the vista x32 drivers for this product (assuming that they have released one). If they provide their drivers etc as an.msi installer (and it's the msi installer which is doing an o/s check and preventing it proceeding) - then it may be possible to modify the.msi's custom actions so you can still use it.
If this is the case - please let me know and I can point you in the direction of some info on how to do this. Niall Niall Ginsbourg - MVP Windows Media Center - Australia.

Niall Niall Ginsbourg - MVP Windows Media Center - Australia Hi Niall, I'm ashamed to say that my knowledge doesn't stretch that far.

DamianC, Attempted your workaround; got the Vista drivers; Device Manager shows Dazzle 71e as a RealTek 2831U device; got the TV stick working in Pinnacle TV Centre Pro [WMC refuses to 'see' the Dazzle 71e] - but the application crashes. If I restart I can get it started again but it soon crashes again. Device Manager says the device will not start again now.
Old Mig15 pilot. Ah, yes, I had that problem too. Remove the TV Stick, and then uninstall ALL pinnacle software, from 'Programs and Features' (Pinnacle's TV software won't work anyway, crashing before/during use, as you've mentioned). Then reboot and re-insert the Dazzle TV stick. Next, in Device Manager, right click on the Realtek 2831U device which is incorrectly identified, but is actually your Dazzle stick, choose 'Update Driver Software', then 'Browse my computer for driver software', and point it at the Pinnacle drivers folder (see below).

I've just had 2 more thoughts on this (trying to think back, because I did this the day Windows 7 RC was released, so it's been a while). If you can't get the method I mentioned to work, try uninstalling the Realtek Driver first (right click the device in Device Manager, and choose the uninstall option). Then point it at the Pinnacle drivers.
If you can't find the drivers, they can be downloaded (for most pinnacle devices - for those using this solution for any pinnacle card/stick) from the following location: These are the driver only packages, so are all only around 1mb each, as they don't include all the Pinnacle TV software. Extract these somewhere you can find easily, then point the driver update to that location (note that once you've installed the drivers and got the TV card/stick working, you don't need to keep the files you extracted). I hope this helps a few people out there. I'm sure Pinnacle will wise up soon, and give us the drivers and software that will work, but until then, this solution should do the trick! Well I tried as you suggested, downloading the 32bit drivers for the Dazzle TV stick 71e. If you look at the contents of the download. This file contains installation information for; Pinnacle Systems PCTV Hybrid Pro* Stick' (PCTV 320e); Pinnacle PCTV 70e; Pinnacle PCTV 80e; Pinnacle PCTV 80e SE; Pinnacle PCTV 100e; Pinnacle PCTV 170e; Pinnacle PCTV 320e; Pinnacle PCTV 330e; Pinnacle PCTV 380e; Pinnacle PCTV 510e; Pinnacle PCTV 800e; Pinnacle PCTV 880e There is no mention of a 71e stick.??
Both the 70e and the 71e driver download sets seem to have the same contents. Anyway I tried to update the drivers with mine. No easy task with Windows 7, it insists that its own drivers are correct [RealTek 2831u]. I managed to install the drivers named 70e [the most likely ones.??] and Windows then agrees that I have hardware called a Pinnacle PCTV 70e.
Device Manager also informs me that it is working, whereas it originally said that the device wouldn't start. Unfortunately WMC still insists that I have NO TV tuner. This is one awkward piece of hardware!
Old Mig15 pilot. You're right, I never noticed that. I just spotted this on their download page against the dazzle 71e!! Pinnacle don't make things easy, do they?! (as point of note, the drivers for all other TV Sticks/cards including the 70e and 72e appear to be quite different, so pinnacle drivers must be quite specific for this card) OK, another one, and the right driver is DEFINITELY in this location, because i've just checked it myself - but it's a large download (300+mb) as it includes all of the latest Pinnacle TV software too (this version of the TVCenter software won't work either, but the driver is there).
On the pinnacle website, download the file which you should find at It's listed under Dazzle*TV, against 71e (click the text '4.9.9' to begin the download). Run the install, but cancel the installation once it's done the extraction, and gets to the Welcome screen Then you will find the right driver, in the folder C: Users Username Pinnacle TVCenterProSetup Driver PCTV 71e 32 bit. Carry on as per my previous post, uninstall the driver previously installed, reinstall this one and it should work this time.
(I'd hang on to this pinnacle site link, they put the Beta updates here too, and hopefully will eventually add a version for Win7) Let me know how you get on this time. If you still can't get it to work, let me know, I will uninstall my drivers and go through the whole thing step-by-step to figure it out!
Damian, listen thanks for your help. If it hadn't been for your input I would NEVER have figured out how to do this. I eventually started using my over 60 year old grey cells.
I explored my Pinnacle Studios PCTV installation CD/DVD? And found a driver for the Dazzle 71e - hurrah.!! Whats more it installed - amazing.

You couldn't help me get an old Canon CanoScan 3200F flat bed scanner to work with Windows 7 RC could you.??? Or perhaps an older Creative NX webcam to work.??? Old Mig15 pilot. You're more than welcome. Glad you got it sorted, there's nothing more frustrating than buying hardware that gets outdated with each release (or in this case pre-release) of an OS - i've still got some leftovers from Windows 3.11, Win95, Win98 and WinME tucked away in the cupboard somewhere - sadly not a CanoScan or a Creative Webcam which I can hook up to try for you. Now that we've lost to the Spaniards, switch over to the BBC and try the red button on Windows Media Centre (if you don't have a remote, the coloured buttons are available in the bottom left of the window) - at last it now works on a PC, and on the Dazzle is really quick and responsive too!
Afudos Engineering Edition Peters on this page. Dammit, sorry about that, it didn't do that a few days ago. I've zipped the drivers from my download and put them on megaupload for you (it's a tiny download, so you should be able to run with it in a few minutes). They're located here: hopefully it will let you download these OK.
Extract these to a folder on your desktop, or somewhere handy, and proceed as before! Give this a shot - it's exactly the drivers I used. DamianC Sorry to intrude but before you move to the subject of scanners can you please try and help me a bit more with this Dazzle 71e stick?
I am not sure if it's because I am using the 64 bit version of Windows 7 but I can't install a proper driver. The sequence is exactly the same as described above: USB stick is recognised as Realtek; I try to update the driver with a Pinnacle driver (either from the CD or from the PCTV 4.99 download or just the stand-alone 64 bit driver) but Windows keeps saying that the current driver is fine and will not replace it with another (I don't remember the exact wording but basically even if I point to the directory containing the Pinnacle driver, such driver is not loaded). I have tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and I always end up with this non-working Realtek device in the Device Manager list and no way to replace its driver. Any step-by-step instructions to successfully replace the native Realtek driver with the Pinnacle one?
Thanks in advance! Hi anonymous, I can't tell you anything about your device/driver problem. But as a thumb rule for forcing Windows to install the drivers you like: If Windows thinks it has the right driver, it will ignore your attempts to replace it and reinstall the 'correct' driver as soon as it can. To prevent that, you must delete all traces of the current driver first, especially the related OEMx.inf file. Then, when it finds no suitable driver on its own (because you deleted the referrings), it will listen to you. Just don't select 'search automatically.' In the 'search driver updates' dialog (that would repeat the whole thing), select 'browse my computer.'
And point Windows to the right folder. AMD64 3000+, 1 G RAM, Mob. ATIRadeon9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G).

ATIRadeon9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G) Thanks but the problem is that the automatically installed driver is selected according to 'hardcoded' registry entries not from an OEMx.inf file. Scanning the registry I can see that a Windows driver for a Realtek device is selected from the system/drivers folder and even if I delete or rename that file, Windows Update will 're-create' it (via download). I have also tried fiddling with the registry to remove the references to this Realtek driver but I guess my edits were not enough as this ***** Realtek driver still gets installed.
Hi - I'm surprised there isn't no OEMx.inf (OEM0.inf, OEM1.inf, OEM2.inf, whatever) for the driver, but anyway. Just be sure you do the steps in the right order: 1) Install the driver you want. That means, let its setup program put the driver's files onto the right places, folders etc. Real install happens at point 5, not here.2) delete all traces, references, etc. To the driver that is falsely recognized as 'correct'. 3) Disable automatic updates or deactivate your internet connection at all, just temporarily. 4) Restart the pc.
5) Now you should have an 'unknown multimedia controller' in device manager. The action center will try to find a driver for it and either try to connect to the Update site or look into the local folders. But you already prevented that both. Point 'Search driver update' to the right driver. Select 'Pick from a list.' Windows will install it under protest. 6) If all went well, you should now have a new device with 'Pinnacle' instead of 'Realtek' in his name (at least, with another name than before). Restart again to get the thing working. 7) No you can reconnect WinUpdate and/or your internet connection.
It will not recognize your device in the same way it did before, thus no find a 'better' driver for it and thus not reinstall the former state. - Note: If you are wrong and the new driver isn't as compatible as supposed (who can oversee all possible hardware combinations and conflicts!), gives an error at the last restart or even gets a BSOD, nothing is lost. Continue with step 7), let the update (re-)install the Realtek drivers, and all is as it was before. I really wish you luck! AMD64 3000+, 1 G RAM, Mob.

I have done exactly the same things as you did. The Media Center recognises the stick, but is unable to scan for channels. It takes a few seconds and then the progress bar immediately jumps to 100%. The Media Center comment is like: 'No channels found.
Make sure you have installed the TV-hardware right.' (Translation from German). The Pinnacle software works fine, so I would exclude a hardware-driver-problem. Have you any idea what I did wrong?

Birger Hi Birger, Hopefully the German/UK versions of the device and the Drivers (and of course Windows 7) work similarly!! OK, a couple of (obvious) things to check first: 1. Which version of Windows 7 are you using? Remember that Windows 7 RC is an unfinished version, so may be buggy. If you haven't already, get yourself the RTM version - it's only valid for 90 days, until the final release comes out, but is the finished version, so should be much less buggy (plus a clean install wouldn't hurt).
Have you checked that you have a good Digital TV signal on the aerial you are using for TV (sounds obvious, but (especially) if you're using the supplied stick Antenna, you may find there is just no reception, hence the failure to scan!)? Check that the Pinnacle PCTV 71e Drivers are correctly identified in Device Manager (should be listed under 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers'), make sure it's not still being identified as a 'RealTek 28**' Device - even if you installed the correct Drivers, Windows often updates these automatically back to the Realtek ones through Automatic Updates. If this has happened, it's possible Media Center has seen the TV card, but with the wrong drivers. Again, it sounds obvious, but check that you've got all the right choices made in Media Center (i.e. Country, Location etc), this is because Media Center uses these choices to identify which frequencies to scan. Make sure you're connected to the internet when you scan.
Media Center uses your web connection to get all the settings it needs (I believe it does, anyway, mine certainly made frantic use of the web before and during the scan!) I think that 2 or 3 are the most likely candidates, because this sounds similar to the problems I had on first trying (before I figured out how to force the 71e drivers, and also using the short stick antenna, which didn't work indoors at all, despite being in a good reception area). There's also a new Beta of Pinnacle's PCTV software/drivers available here: (For others, note that this is the German linked page, click on the relevant language link on the page - though I think it's actually identical) (The download is the FTP link at the bottom of the page). Although I personally hate PCTV, this will also give you the latest drivers and the chance to test you can get TV through the USB Stick, which will help you identify if the problem is the stick/antenna, or whether it's Media Center/Windows. Try installing this, and then see if PCTV and then Media Center will scan for the channels. However, remember that this is Beta software, and will not be complete or may be buggy.
Get back to me with your results on all the above, and if you've still had no success, we can try to narrow down the problem from there. Thank you very much for all of your assistance, Sorry for answering so late. I will try out your tipps at time and report the progress. To DamianC: 1. I have the RTM from our universities Microsoft Program 2. I use the House atenna, the signal is excellent when I used the PCTV software 3.
The drivers are installed correct as 'Pinnacle PCTV 71e' under multimedia 4. I chose the appropiate local setups 5. Internet connection was given everytime. I will try to download the new beta and look if this fix my problem. I downloaded this beta on this link and extracted this *.exe by starting installaton, then exctrated the data1.cab in the 32bit folder and used the pctv.inf to install the driver (after i deinstalled the previous PCTV 71e driver for vista) C: Users Birger Schnoor AppData Local Temp RarSFX0 TVCenter 32 bit Data1.cab af15bda.inf considering all of your points above, no change: the progress bar jumps during the scan immediately to 100% after the rotating windows cycle was shown for about 10 to 15 sec. I dont know what to do more.
The last idea I have is to reinstall win 7, but thats an option i dont wanna try. Who ever has an idea, what the problem may be, is very welcome. Birger, I've tried and tried to recreate your problem - even going as far as reinstalling my Win 7 OS, but I just cannot replicate your problem, so I'm really sorry, I cannot help. Perhaps it would be worth contacting the pctv team to see if they can help you, or maybe (if you're now using the release of Win 7) contact Microsoft's Media Center team.
I would suggest it might just be a dodgy install of Media Center, so a reinstall of Win 7 might solve the problem, but it's a big jump to take if you've got lots of stuff set up on your machine. I'm quite lucky in that I have a multi-boot system, which I have my main setup running on one boot, and various test environments running on others. Now that Windows 7 has been released, perhaps a full reinstall of the release would be a good idea anyway! UtenteAnonimo, I quite agree, you'd think this would have been sorted by now, but the forums are not a waste of time, I get lots of answers from these things, and help others where I can - it's just a shame MSFT don't read the issues raised and employ proper fixes!! At least it gives us the chance to prove that we can be as clever as they are sometimes!! Hello again, I have just managed to get my PCTV 71e Stick working.
My Harddisk crashed and I needed to reinstall Windows 7. Now its perfectly working.
My previous Installation was an Englisch Windows 7 (32 bit, business) that I had made German by using WAIK and the official language pack from Microsoft; The current Version is a original German Version (64 bit, professional). I think business (English) is the same like professional (German). I installed the driver from the extracted beta software from here: I hope this will help as many people as possible with the same problem. Cheers, Birger. New Drivers & there Media control software have been relesed in very recent weeks. Go here NOTE: you must get the Driver version for model 71e.not one of the many similar sounding ones. It is clearly marked.
I have had this working well in Windows XP Pro. & Windows 7 64 Bit. Microsofts Media Center works well & is generally better than the own software. NOTE you still need to get the right Driver installed for it to work in MMC. Auto Update should do this OK in Win Vista & 7.
That cursed fuss with the realtek Audio Driver false installation in Win XP. That Realtek entry will appear (if you have this prob.) as a 'not working' item as main item in listing by Device Type. BUT it should be a sub. Section item under 'Sound, video and Game controllers' marked 'Pinnnacle PCTV 71e' You may find BOTH entries present in Device Manager.it doesn't matter if the Realtek entry is there or not. What I (finally.sigh!) did was get the downloaded 71e Driver & right click its inf file then select ' INSTALL.
It should & that entry should now appear in Device Manager. =) (')_(') newmouse. Hi I have a question about signal and antenna if any one knows!
My dazzle work properly with its own antenna but i want to connect it to my home central antenna, which has some open subscribed channel. But when i connect it, it says there is no signal. All the channels in my area are digital but as i can simply connect the plug with wire to the TV and don't need any box or receiver i assumed that the out coming signal from the plug is analog. Does any one has any idea about teh signal, and if this stick work with analog or is there any setting in MMC for it? I am using my Dazzle with the building antenna system and it works well. You mention that your home central antenna has some open subscribed channels. That sounds like the system is actually connected to a cable translator rather than directly to an antenna.
In that case, the digital channels are not available, as the cable translator only provides analogue versions of the channels carried by that cable service. Another possible cause is that the frequencies used in your area for the digitial channels are different to those used for analogue channels.
For example, if the analogue channels in your area are all transmitted on VHF, it is possible that your building antenna system has been optimised for VHF. If the digital channels are on UHF, then your antenna system may not be providing the required UHF signals. Another possibility is that the digital transmitters are in a different location to the analogue transmitters. If your building antenna system is pointing to the analogue transmitters, it may be pointing in the wrong direction to be able to pick up digital signals. Hope that helps, Paul.
