Did you try updating the drivers for the hardware to their newest version? If you haven't, go here and select the proper download for your Operating System. Post back if that doesn't work.

If you look in your Device Manager (Click Start, Run and type devmgmt.msc), are there any devices listed under then Unknown Devices group, or with a yellow exclamation point, or red X?

Assuming it's a PCMCIA card, and you have two PCMCIA slots on your laptop, try putting the card in another slot.
Also, make sure the tuner is compatable with the make and model of your laptop.

Other than that, I'm out of ideas...Sorry. :-[

For reference for any others here is a picture of jimday's product:

update on progress with kworlds nb-tv 220 .
nearly packed the kit away last night,lost for ideas,only one card slot on laptop.
switched on today,while makeing cup o tea,up comes clear picture and sound.
my joy was however short lived, after 5 mins the sound had gone, then picture
started to brake up.
conclusion :- it seems to me that as the tuner warms up, it looses its frequency
lock. I removed the card to feel the temperature and it was very warm to touch.
thankyou for help with this problem, the tuner will soon be going back to store.
