Adding tv tuner card to AIO Touchsmart

Recently purchased an AIO TouchSmart desktop. I would like to add a TV tuner card and use Media Center. Would also like to add recovery manager. Is any of this possible?
B. Armstrong

Hi,
There are dozens models of AOI Touchsmart, what is yours ?
For TV tuner, you can buy many USB TV tuners around but if you prefer to use an internal TV tuner, we need to know the right model of your machine.
For Recovery Manager, it should be there on all new machines.
Regards.

My daughter added songs with her I Tunes Card and My credit card was charged, what do I do?

My daughter added songs with her I tunes card and my credit card was charged, how do I get it off my credit card?

What process did your daughter use, there is a specific format to redeem an iTunes gift card. The gift card must be redeemed using the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store in iTunes on a computer or the Redeem button at the bottom of both the iTunes and App Store apps in iOS. Redeeming the gift card then applies the value of the card as an available credit to the user's iTunes account. The credit is used first before any bank card also stored in the account. If the purchases use the entire credit and there is an additional balance due, it will be charged to any bank card stored in the account.

I just bought a touchsmart 520-1032.i am looking to add a tv tuner card.is that possible.

Looking for tv tuner card for my touch smart HP 520-1032 A8 AMD VISION.
Can it be internal installed.
Does HP carries that....
How much does it cost.
Thanks

It's not worth trying to find the internal unit, and it's way more work and effort than it's worth, there are some very nice USB external tuners out there that will do the job nicely for you.

HT1491 Added a I tunes card but it won't let me use the money how do I use it

Hi I've just topped my I tunes account up with a I tunes card and it won't let me use my money on there

What I mean is what is happening when you try to buy the movie? Does the cost of the movie exceed to amount of the gift card? Many areas/states/countries add a sales tax or a VAT to the purchase that will exceed the card amount.
what exactly is happening? Describe?

MSI TV@nywhere MASTER PCI TV Tuner card FAQ

So you’ve just decided to add a MSI TV@nywhere Master card to your PC, you’re gonna need some help installing it then!! Before you continue, I recommend you download the Unofficial New Drivers in the other sticky, to avoid any heart (and brain!) ache.
For best results also, you should be running at least DirectX 8.1. This is included on the driver CD, or you can download the latest version from Microsoft's DirectX Page. If you have a P4 which supports Hyperthreading, you will also need at least Windows XP SP2, otherwise you will have to disable hyperthreading in BIOS.
You should also be in the habit of having the latest drivers for your video card, audio card and motherboard chipset; this can also avoid any future TV software failure. And make sure you regularly run Windows Update (or use the Automatic Update feature) to keep your Windows clean and up-to-date. And also remember when installing new drivers or software, if the installer suggests you restart the computer then do so, before you install anything else! Drivers not installing correctly are common causes of problems, especially with this card!
INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
I’m presuming you’re familiar with the concepts of building and upgrading PCs, so I won’t go into too much detail on obvious stuff (like “remove the side panel of your case, locate a free PCI slot…”).
Fit the TV@nywhere Master card into a free PCI slot. If you didn’t get one with it, you’ll need a CD-audio lead from somewhere (the thin grey lead). If you have one connected between your CD drive and your soundcard CD-Audio In connector, then use that, any version of Windows after 98 supports digital audio extraction, so it is not needed there now. Connect one end of the audio lead to the 4 pin header on the TV@nywhere card and the other to the AUX input on your soundcard (or motherboard if using onboard). If you are installing the Mega TV Tuner in a Mega series barebones, connect it to the TV audio input on the mainboard to the rear. Don’t worry about using the 3.5mm jack plug lead to connect tv card audio, we don’t need it now, doing it this way.
CONNECTING YOUR TV SIGNAL
Depending on your global location, this may vary. Either way you need to connect either a aerial (ANTENNA) or cable (CABLE) to the CATV connector on the card. Someone will no doubt clarify this for me, but cable is for US-type cable, which doesn’t need a decoder box. Most people will be using the Antenna I’m guessing. Your choice of CABLE or ANTENNA needs to be remembered, you’ll need this later.
You will not be able (or have limited success) in connecting a video recorder or set-top box to the CATV connector. Instead you will need to use the Composite or S-Video connector, and connect the audio source either directly to the soundcard or to the Line-in on the TV card.
INSTALLING THE DRIVER
Don’t use the driver on the CD. Download the latest driver from the MSI download page. If you are a Mega series user, make sure that Windows has been installed onto the C: drive. If not you’ll have to reinstall, and disable the USB controller in BIOS to prevent the card readers becoming the C: and D: drives. This also causes problems later.
I would advise temporarily disabling any anti-virus programs at this point, to avoid any complications.
When you start up after first installing the card, cancel any Found New Hardware wizards that appear. OK, so extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP, and run the PVSSetup.exe file to install the drivers. Once this is complete, RESTART your PC and the drivers will be installed for the new hardware found.
Check in Device Manager, there should be four new hardware listed under Sound, Video and Game Controllers related to MS8606. If you see any with the (?) next to them, you might need to try the card in another slot.
INSTALLING THE MSIPVS TV SOFTWARE
If you wish to use other TV recording software other than MSIPVS then please feel free to do so.
MSI do not make their own software. At least not all the time. MSIPVS is a rebranded version of Intervideo’s WinDVR software, with extra features added such as network streaming for TV@nywhere. Some people love it. Lots of people hate it. Generally most people who have posted here hate it. People who love it tend not to post if they don't have problems. The people that hate it generally mess initial settings up, which can cause problems when they try to change it. The more patient of us will always get it eventually right!
Install the MSIPVS software. Easy as that. Its setting it up correctly that’s the tricky part. Listed below are the main things to look for when performing initial setup. If you are unsure about anything else then read the manual! Only a complete genius would dare install any unfamiliar hardware without having the manual handy for reference - how do you suppose I learnt anything?
Device
Video Input:
"Device" is always the Conexant Cx2388x Video Capture"
"Source" - select TV if you are connecting your signal to the CATV connector (antenna or cable), select S-Video or Composite if using these instead
"Standard" - set this to your local TV standard, eg if in UK set to "PAL-I". if unsure, do a Google search and find out!!
If you don't set these correctly you won't receive any channels and/or they will appear incorrectly.
Audio Input:
"Device" will be your soundcard or onboard audio device
"Source" will be the connector your TV card audio output is connected to, this will be "TV" on Mega series, otherwise check!! If you connected the internal lead to AUX on your soundcard or mobo, then set it to "AUX". If you used external lead to connect to Line-In, this will be "Line-in" etc etc.
If you don't set these correctly you may or may not hear audio while watching live TV, and you will hear no audio on recorded TV.
TV
Tuner:
"Input" will be Antenna if you have an aerial connected, or Cable if you are connected to unencoded cable TV.
"Country or Region" - if need to explain this one then maybe you shouldn't have this card!
Channel
Now we will see if your settings and TV signal are good! Tick the Freescan box, and then click on Autoscan. This may take a while, and for a short time it may appear that the program is doing nothing. Patience! It will soon start, and then pick up any available channels it can find.
Make sure you have a good strong signal if you are using an aerial, otherwise TV@nywhere won’t pick up as many channels. UK viewers – just using a simple set-top aerial and signal booster, I could even receive Channel Five (or “five” as it is known now!)
So at this point now, if all has gone well, you should be able to watch and record TV on your PC! If it hasn't...

"I've lost my CDs and MSIPVS needs a serial number to install!"
MSI in their wisdom printed the serial key for MSIPVS on the actual CD. This serial key is the same printed on EVERY CD. Which kind of defeats the object in my humble opinion. Anyways, the answer can be found in this post: MSIPVS requires serial number!
"When installing MSIPVS, the program hangs then shows a message saying "remote procedure call failed" "
If you are a Mega user, you have installed Windows onto a partition other than C:. You will need to reinstall Windows, making sure you disable USB controller in BIOS, so that the card readers do not take up C: and D: drives. Upon first restart (after Windows has created partition), you may re-enter BIOS and enable USB controller before Windows continues installing itself.
"MSIPVS installs, but when I start the application I get an error message "WinDVR has caused a problem and needs to shutdown" "
hpkuo credits this to sizzle in his hints and tips thread, but I'll elaborate a little. The problem is caused by QuickTime codecs installed by Nero 6.3.1.15. It is unclear whether later versions of Nero were fixed, but earlier versions should be okay. "A "quick fix" is to rename the files "NeQTADec.ax" and "NeQTVDec.ax" in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\"."
Another alternative suggestion is to uninstall the codecs from the registry. I found this solution in another forum for another TV card with same problem:
Go to Start > Run (or press Windows key + R) and enter:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeQTADec.ax"
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeQTVDec.ax"
The only consequence seems to be that Nero Vision can’t decode Apple Quick time format after this (something I can live with)
If you do require QuickTime codecs to be installed, there is the Quicktime alternative available from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm . Or you could just use an earlier version of Nero.
PS if you are using a non-english setup of Windows, then the above paths will relate to how windows translates on your PC - ie subsitute Program Files etc for your local translation
"I have connected the external audio lead to the Line-In (blue) jack on my mobo, and set it correctly in MSIPVS, but I hear no TV sound"
If your mobo supports 5.1 speakers but only has three jacks on rear, the Line-in and Mic jacks have been configured to act as Rear Speaker and Center/Sub outputs. If you have only two speakers, they should be connected to the green Front Speaker jack. You will need to go into your audio hardware's configuration panel / Windows Audio Device Properties to correctly configure the rear jacks.
The other alternative is to use the internal audio connector - simply use a CD-audio lead to connect it to the AUX or CD internal connector on your mobo or soundcard. CD audio leads (the analog grey lead from your CD drive to the soundcard / mobo CD audio connector) are redundant now, as Windows now uses digital audio extraction through IDE channel. Make sure you set the audio signal correctly in MSIPVS to match this.
"When I start up Windows I can hear a hissing like "static" / the radio is playing"
One issue that was fixed in the latest Drivers; if that still doesn't work then the Radio volume is not muted at Windows startup. I'll let hschroed take over here:
"Both MSI Radio and MSI PVS, unmute the TV card at program start, and mute the TV card at SUCCESSFUL program exit (remember we are not talking about the soundcard mixer state here). What this means is as long as a single program start and a single SUCCESSFUL program exit takes place, the TV card tuner will be muted, regardless of what the soundcard mixer audio source states are. If the PC is rebooted (without a PC power-off), for whatever reason, while the MSI Radio or MSI PVS program is executing (a successful exit has not been performed), the TV card will remain in an unmuted state until the next startup and successful exit of either of the two programs.
The TV card mute/unmute status is carried over a reboot without PC power off. What this means is that after a PC power on, once the TV card has been properly muted by a start and successful exit of the MSI program, the TV card mute/unmute status should be in proper synchronization with the applications (regardless of the soundcard mixer status), as long as the PC is not powered off. (Romulus mentions computer coming out of standby. I did not test that scenario but I would expect that if going into standby means power is stopped to TV card, the effect would be similar to a PC power off)."
"My regular TV receives all 5 channels (even Channel Five!), but when I connect aerial to TV@nywhere I only get 3"
Common to all TV tuner hardware (not just MSI's!) is the need for a good strong signal. A moderate signal might appear okay on a regular domestic TV, but might not be strong enough for the TV tuner hardware. Consider investing in a good signal booster, or getting your aerial changed.
Consequently, I have also learned today that TOO strong a signal is bad for TV tuner cards, as soon as I know more I'll let you know...
"I have connected my VCR to the CATV connector, but it does not appear when autoscanning."
"I cannot receive any channels when I connect my Sky box to the RF (CATV) connector."
Thanks to a wonderful technology called "Macrovision" protection, many VCRs and satellite/cable boxes won't work in this way by connecting them using their RF output. Anyone who gets a result is very lucky. There's always the Composite and S-Video In connectors to try. But either way, the TV@nywhere card won't scan all their channels, you'll still have to change them manually.
"Windows XP Media Center says that my "tuner hardware is malfunctioning or not installed" but I have installed the latest TV@nywhere drivers from MSI"
Neither the Vox or the TV@nywhere cards are compatible with MCE2005. MCE2005 requires an analogue TV card capable of hardware MPEG2 encoding, or a software DVB-T (digital) card that already receives an MPEG2 video stream over-the-air.
You can however still use the Vox or the TV@nywhere using the MSIPVS software outside of the MCE2005 application.
"MSIPVS keeps defaulting my location back to Afghanistan, even though I set it to US / UK/ Sweden / Latvia / Kazahkstan"
You will need to reinstall the drivers and software due to a glitch. Uninstall MSIPVS and the tuner drivers (with its PVSSetup.exe setup program) then restart your PC, and ignore the Found New Hardware wizard. Install the tuner drivers with the PVSSetup.exe program, then restart your PC. Then install MSIPVS, restart your PC and you're good to go again!
"Where can I find these "Unofficial New Drivers" that people keep referring to here?"
The "Unofficial New (BETA) Drivers" became obsolete when MSI officially released them. You can find them on the Product Support page for this card, as they are now the latest drivers. MSI TV@nywhere Master product page

TV tuner card in 8600, is it practical or dont bother?

Hi all,
I was successful in adding a TV tuner card running OS 9.2.2 with app ixTV into my 8600/300 PM. Due to the fact I dont have cable I'm able to only view TV a little clear. Should I just put this card into my G4 AGP which has a Nividia Gforce 64MB video card? Will I get any better viewing results??
Thanks
web dude

If it functions well enough and gives you reason to fire up the 8600, I'd leave it in it. In February 2009, the tuner card will need a digital-to-analog converter box, so you're looking at a little over 6 months of usage with the ixMicro software interface for channel surfing. After that, the ixTV tuner will stay set to channel 3 or 4, while using the remote control that ships with the converter box.

TV Tuner Card and Signal for AVerMedia A323 Hybrid ATSC

Community, need a little assist. Here is my set up
TouchSmart 520-1070 w/
Windows 7 - 64 bit
Windows Media Center
AverMedia A323 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC
Cox Communications Cable
No cable box (straight out of the wall)
This is a replacement of my Slimline s5260F which contained a Hauppauge ATSC and NTSC TV tuner. I have input my cable and am attempting to tune my channels, however, following the scan for channels, the return is that there are no stations. I have attempted to set up manually on different settings to try and pick up a signal, but to no avail.
My previous card could pick up the analog channels as well as some of the standard HD channels for the big (CBS, NBC, ABC). Again, no cable box, just straight out of my wall into the computer. To my great surprise, that tuner card, even picked up some of the channels such as ESPN, CNN, Discovery (not HD, but still). I attribute this to the cable company actually having a digital signal into my home, but not having the box would keep me from seeing these channels. I really don't care if I don't see those with my new TouchSmart.
However, I can't even get a standard analog setup. It will pull down the guide in Media Center which then identifies that I have a Clear QAM digital signal. I run the channel setup and nothing comes back. All I get even on the non-HD channel is some of the audio and then just scrambled signal. If I go back an manually set up with just an analog signal, it doesn't change a thing, so I'm kind of at a lose. I have digital quality signal but no way to pick that up and I can go back to my standard analog channels.
Does someone know the work around where I don't have to: 1) lay out more money for an adaptor for my computer to decode the digital signal, or; 2) have to pay a cable company to install a cable box and start paying more money to watch digital TV. All I'm really looking for is to record a few shows from the major networks.
Regards and thanks in advance!

Hello Compute_This:
Sorry body your TV tuner will not work period no mater what you do. Please read this full article at the very bottom of it is the collusion from tuners company. http://www.fathsoft.com/support/index.php?a=5&cat=2&tid=923
I would take it back and get my money back. If not able to that then put it on line and sell it to some one outside of USA. They can use it because they are still using Anog. TV signals. Here is one that is supose to work least that is what it says in detail information on this page. http://www.antonline.com/p_MTVHVMXSK-NX_751196.htm?sID=NX Here is another one to veiw. Specks for it at bottom of page This one includes FM tuner as well. http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-16gb-datatraveler-109-usb-2-0-flash-drive-black-and-white/225557322... Most of the tv tuners I searched won't work on windows 7 computers and are for Anlog TV like the one you have. These are the only two I could find that say they are HDTV for windows 7. I went and checked all they had listed for pc tv tuners. Read costomers reviews if it was listed. You do same and save your self money and headaches. Your welcome frrw. I would have posted this sooner how ever I was still researching there where alot tv tuners listed.

Adding a vidio card for a hp palviloin 500-023w what is compatibale for me how many slots ?

adding a vidio card for a hp palviloin 500-023w what is compatibale for me how many slots ?

Brule01, welcome to the forum.
There are two main things to consider when adding / upgrading a video card: 1) the wattage required to run it properly and 2) the length of the card.
Most newer mid-level video cards require at least 400W to operate properly. The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. Therefore, to add a discrete video card will require a PSU upgrade, as well. A card that will work with the existing 300W PSU will not be much, if any, better than the Integrated Video. I recommend at least 500W (600W would be good for future upgrades). I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's. They are very good quality.
The video card has to be PCI Express x16 and it can be a double card. The double cards only use one slot, but because of the width they may cover a second slot making it unavailable. This is normally not a problem for most users. Your computer case is mid-size. Therefore, I recommend a card that is no longer than 9". This will assure that it fits into the space provided. You can choose a card and get the measurements. Then, you can make a cardboard template of it to see if it will fit. You should add 1" to the template if the card has additional power connector/s. I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY cards in that order. This comes from spending many years on enthusist / gaming forums.

Loaded $25 tunes card and discovered that someone may have hacked the system by loading unwanted tunes onto me desktop and devices. What to do.....if anything at this point?

Loaded $25 tunes card to iMac a while back. Couldn't find where it was on the system. Plugged my synced iPod into a new car's USB and learned that many new songs that I did not select play on the car stereo. Have no idea how they got selected, but Apple store did a check and the $25 has been used up. All songs read out ''indentifiable'' and even include an interview of Howard Stern. Crazy.
Anyone have a clue how this happened? Not a big deal, but my $25 is gone and I have a bunch of unwanted tunes.

Yes I have back ups I have Time Machine running, I guess that will be my trouble shoot.
IMac is running OK at the moment after I uninstalled MACKEEPER and was that a chore! I was really looking for some interpretation for the Log report related to the Panic Attack to C if it pointed to a particular application or hardware. The IMAC has been really stable since I bought it in 2010 and I have not added any other HW for at least 12 months. The only recent SW added has been that Ancestry product, I did change my ISP a few weeks ago but still using the same router so that should have no bearing.
Thanks for the feedback

Tv tuner card into a standard dell pc??

Ive bought an MSI, pci, tv tuner card for a mega pc,from komplett.ie ( part no 120172) not ever hearing of a 'mega pc' before now. Put the card into a pci slot in my dell pc and installed the software on the cd supplied all fine.
Now I find that nothing tunes in and on seeking tech help am told that 'mega pcs' are not the same as pc's. And looking at the manufacturers website the information given on this product is slim to none. Is there a way to get this to work on my pc i.e. any software that will enable this seeing as its a pci card.
Im running win XP sp2 .
Id appretiate any help or advise anyone can offer on this.
Thanks.

welcome to the world of MSI!
although this tuner card (MS8606-40) was designed with the Mega PC in mind (which itself is just a small form factor barebones) it is the same as the MSI TV@nywhere Master card (MS8606-10) but without the added FM radio tuner chip and remote controller, so I imagine it should work with it
you might be better off having a browse through the TV@nywhere forum and seeing if any posts there might help you, first thing i suggest you do is download and install the BETA drivers in my sticky post

TV Tuner Card for MEGA PC

Hi All!
Recently I've added a TV tuner Card (MS-8606) to my MEGA PC 651. This card is not TV@nywhere, but very similar one. It is the "optional TV tuner card" MSI talks about in the description of MEGA PCs. The card does not have FM tuner, as MEGA PC already have one on the motherboard.
I've installed the card and the standard MSI software (drivers, MSIPVS, Cinema , WinSchedule and other stuff) from the supplied CD with minimum difficulties. (The drivers on CD are version 2.79.1.64) The good things is that the software finds channels, there is picture, even the remote works
However, there is an annoying problem -- sound disappears each 2-15 seconds. That is sound works for, say, 20 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds, then works again for 5 seconds, then stops and so on. Did anybody encounter such a problem?

Probably not anymore
It was just a TV@nywhere Master, but without the FM radio tuner.

Family sharing without a credit card and using I-Tunes card

i Do not want to enter one of my credit cards into my Apple account, my wife, daughter and myself always just use I-Tunes cards to buy stuff. Is there any way to have family sharing without entering a credit card? I just don't feel secure putting it in my account.

Hy, I live in Belgium, and there are different methods of verifying your identity and age (electronic ID card) and furthermore it is not for my children I want to set up family sharing but for my wife and me and she is certainly of legal age. On the other hand, my eldest is 14. So what is the problem with identity certification as all the Apple ID s I have created (for my wife, my mother, my stepmother and several other adults in my entourage happened without credit card, but with an iTunes card). The use of credit cards is not as common in Europe as in the US.
what could be a solution to this problem ?

I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
