Adding Tuner support to Windows Server - FIXED!

Hi all
In case anyone is trying to setup up a tuner on a Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 box and having problems, did you know that these server OSs are missing the BDA plugin required for the tuners to be functional?

I wasn’t aware of this and found my tuner failing to scan for channels (finished scanning after 10 seconds with zero success).

I followed this guide here and i now have a working tuner (BlackGold BTG3620) in Plex!

n.b during the setup, i chose a en-US option (corresponding to the region of the BDA plugin), even though my OS installation is in en-GB.

Hope this helps someone out!

Thanks for tip! Great info in here. I’ll be adding this info to an announced thread (crediting you, of course) so all can see.
