I have been trying to turn my computer into a tv. I recently bought an action usb 2.0 tv tuner from newegg.com it said nothing about the processor for system requirements. however when i tried to install it on my computer with an AMD Sempron 64 2500+ oc'd to 1.54 Ghz. it would not work. i could install the hardware and software but when i tried to use it, all i would get is a black screen where the tv show should be. reading in the manual it said system requirments for the processor is a pentium 1.4Ghz. i then installed it on my laptop with an intel celeron m 1.5 Ghz processor. I got video but no sound.
I tried to call customer support to no avail. the guy knew nothing about the device and said it was defective since it worked on one computer partially and not at all on the other. Now looking at other devices some say they require a certain processor and some don't.
so my question is, is there a reason why some will work with only a specific processor or does that not matter and my device is really defective? What AMD is equivalent to a pentium 1.4 Ghz? is there a difference? all the help is greatly appreciated.
