Had the same problem with Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II (23xxx) (PVR 500), running in x64 Windows 7. ( 8 GB memory)
Never had any problems and good signal in Windows Vista so it is not the signal.
Found there is a memory problem if you have too much memory. My solution in x64 Windows 7 was to create a second boot entry, and limit the memory to 3000 MB 
 - start elevated command shell
 - bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 7 Limited memory voor TV"
 - bcdedit /set {GUID} truncatememory 0xbb800000
Where {GUID} is the guid you get outputtted in the line above.
then reboot and choose the 'limited memory' boot option. now the MCE starts and records without a problem!!!

sad I can't use all the memory, but for the short time it works.
