"Device Not Found" ErrorEnsure the stick is plugged directly into a motherboard USB port rather than a non-powered USB hub. These tuners require a consistent 5V power draw that hubs often cannot provide.

| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | Driver installs but no video | Wrong chipset driver | Check VID/PID again; reinstall correct version | | Blue screen on plugging in | Conflicting legacy driver | Run driverquery → look for emPIA or usbtv → delete via pnputil /delete-driver | | No audio | Audio line-in not selected | Go to Windows Sound Settings → Input → select “Line In” or “Microphone (USB TV Stick)” | | Low framerate (15-20 fps) | USB bandwidth limit | Use S-Video instead of composite; close other USB devices |

Before connecting the stick, ensure you have the USB_TV_Stick.exe setup file available on your computer.
