Last Updated: 21st November 09
Hi, since I haven’t been able to find a thread listing all the latest drivers for the dv5t I've decided to make one myself.
Let me be clear, this is
for ADVANCED USERS ONLY. For the average user you can find the latest drivers for your specific model at
www.hp.com. This thread may contain drivers that are not specifically targetted at the
HP dv5t but appear to work with it correctly. These drivers may not include vendor specific functionality that HP may have added (although I have not heard of any instances of this being so). Some of these drivers may work with other series of laptops but this is NOT guaranteed. I cannot guarantee these drivers will work correctly for everyone here so please be careful - only install these if you know how to revert any changes you have made. I am only including WHQL certified drivers, so regardless of what site they come from you know they are authentic. I've tested some of these drivers on my machine and they work perfectly well however I am unable to test everything.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Without further ado:

Notes: This TV tuner is originally made by Avermedia. There is sometimes a newer version of the driver available on their site, however if you use that driver it will not be recognized as HP DVB-T/Analog TV Tuner. It is best to use this driver IMO.

Notes: The latest version of the driver is included in this package (the package is for HP 3D DriveGuard - the business branding of HP ProtectSmart). Extract the package and install the driver using the have disk method.
I am using all these drivers at present so I can confirm they all work fine with the dv5t.
I will do my best to keep this list updated as soon as possible. Please let me know of any new drivers you find!
Also I realize these drivers focus on my hardware configuration of the dv5t but it should cover most drivers on most dv5t's. If your system has a different device then please comment and I'll hunt down the latest driver and add it to the list!
