HDMI Video input upgrade for HP Pavilion Elite m9060n Media-Center PC...What is simplest route?

The Media Centre came with TV tuner etc; I have upgraded the Graphics card to Nvidia GeForce 450GTS which has two HDMI outputs. I need an HDMI input to get the best signal input from my cable box...the best input the existing TV tuner offers is "S-Video",which ain't exactly high-grade. What is the simplest solution for a tech-challenged individual like me? (I don't really need "tuning" facility...but require some form of input. If you help a media-moron the gods will bless you.

You cannot run an HDMI out from a cable-box to a PC Tv-Tuner card in port. THe main reason is industry standard copy protection and HDCP. Unfortunately, you have an NTSC only tuner - so the answer is no HD from cable...only ATSC from an aerial antenna. If you install a QAM tuner, you can run the coax directly in and get unprotected HD programming.

  • My HP Pavilion Elite m9060n Media-Centre PC has refused to start up requiring a long time-consuming

    My desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9060n has given me great difficulty on start-up twice now; requiring a number of efforts to finally get it to work...this has never happened to me before. I was notified by "windows" that this may have been the result of plugging in a new device i.e. a camera; however, I have not introduced any new hardware. I DID download software "Roxio NXT and Corel Paintshop" shortly before these incidents. I would simply go back and Restore from the time before these items were introduced, but if I do I lose both programs!!...as I didn't pay extra for download protection. What are any other probable causes that I may investigate? Thanks, from a semi-literate compu-user.

    Hello Morrismornic,
    Try putting your computer in a clean boot state to see if the problem still appears with nothing loading.
    You can find instructions for a clean boot state in the link below

    If the software is causing the problems you are experiencing you may want to see if there is a repair option or check with Roxio to see if you would be able to redownload the software if you "lost" it.

  • Video Card upgrade for HP Pavilion HPE h8-1256s Desktop

    I wanted to upgrade my current graphics card which was an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, the mother board is a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I recently bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. I unistalled the old drivers took out the old card, added the new one and when I started up my PC i would recive 3 beeps and a black screen. I did some research and found out that it may be due to the BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade I can find and my BIOS vers is AMI 7.11, 4/28/2012. I would appreciate a list or a recommendation of compatable Video cards so I do not have to keep buying and installing these devices or if there is a new BIOS update.
    Graphics card (Bought on Amazon): EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC Support 2GB GDDR5 128bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, HDMI, DP 1.2 Graphics Card (02G-P4-3753-KR)

    Hi,
    The EVGA 750 will not work with a version 7 BIOS.  Look under Windows 8 for BIOS version 8.19.

    If you are running Windows 7 then I haven't seen a post on this forum indicating if the EVGA 750 will work when the BIOS version 8 is set to legacy mode.

    Hi:
    The only way you can upgrade the video in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard with one that has a better video solution.
    However, when you look at chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, you are already at the top of the mark regarding what video chip is on the available motherboards.

    So, you will either have to live with the status quo or buy a new notebook.

  • Hdmi video and audio for hp pavilion dv6 1050us does not work

    I'm trying to use my hp pavilion dv6 1050us notebook with a TV Philips model 40PFL8605D using a HDMI cable but nothing function: can't get the image displayed at computer on the TV display. The HDMI cable  and the same TV were tested using a ASUS notebook and everything worked all rigth: video and sound. Then I concluded that the only possible source of problem is my HP pavilion dv6 1050us notebook.
    Can I get some help?

    Hi (:
    I frequently play The Sims 3, I have all, but myabe 3, extensions. And I have a Pavilion dv6-6c15nr Entertainment PC. Now I was wondering, is this a bad idea?  Occassionally, my games will freeze and even just completely glitch within the game, sometimes unallowing me to save. It's very frustrating, especially when you get so far. My question is would it be better to just get a gaming pc and leave this one to surfing the web and doing school work? Or is this one good, and can I download or buy something to help my computer maintain or improve its performance?

    That depends on what type of connection your display has and whether or not your PC has a video card used for display or if you are using the onboard video outputs.
    Do you really mean PC monitor ( the old school kind) or did you mean to say LCD display (thin flat screens) instead?

  • PSU and Video card upgrade for HP e9280t

    Hello, I wanted to upgrade my PSU and video card. The PSU I would like to get is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=17-151-096) but I wasn't sure if my computer could handle and hold the PSU. The video card I would like to get is the EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604) but im not sure if my computer can handle this too. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066665) can someone please tell me if I can upgrade to the PSU and Video card?

    Stuart, welcome to the forum.
    The truth is, any video card that will run properly with the 300W PSU in the computer, will not be much better than the integrated video.  Most newer mid-level cards require a PSU with a minimum of 400W watts.  I have searched for other members many times without any luck.  If you want to upgrade the PSU, it will give you far more options.

  • Displayport video input support for new 27" iMac

    Does anyone know if the new 27" iMac just released today has support for displayport video input like the previous generation 27" iMac does? Please tell me you haven't taken this awesome feature away in the midst of the change to Thunderbolt ports etc! I'm asking because in the previous gen iMac specs it clearly states that displayport video input is supported but it doesn't mention it in the tech specs section of the new iMac.
    Could someone from Apple please let me know? Thanks.
    Mike

    I am tempted to go out and buy a new HDMI to mini-displayport adapter and connect it to a new iMac at the Apple store to see for myself........
    I'd hold up on that.  I don't see a mini displayport on the new iMac.  Looks like it goes through the Thunderbolt interface.  Scroll down to connectors.

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

  • USB 3.0 Upgrade for HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    Is it possible to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC to USB 3.0?  I've been searching the website and google and haven't found any concrete answers just yet.  I'd rather not have to buy a new laptop just to get USB 3.0.  It's been the most reliable pc I've ever had and I don't wantn to replace it!
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You have to buy a new laptop or swap the system/motherboard or buy an Express card - USB 3 (I've got one) or PC card - USB 3. For desktop , this is much simpler, a PCI - USB 3 card will do.

  • Maximum hard drive size for HP Pavilion Elite e2980t? I put in a 3TB, but it shows up as 800GB

    I installed a 3TB drive, but it shows up in the bios as 800GB. What is the maximum supported size?
    I suspect that the HP Pavilion Elite e2980t cannot accept more than an 800 GB drive. This is consistent with the product selection choices that are available to purchasers. 
    Can anyone confirm?
    Are there a set of drivers I can install that would work around this limitation?

    Hi:
    If you are using the drive as a boot drive, your PC probably does not have a UEFI BIOS, so it can't recognize all 3 TB.
    If you are using it as a data drive, go into the Windows disk management tool, format the drive GPT, and windows should be able to see and use all 3 TB.
    Please see this white paper regarding UEFI & GPT.
    While this applies to business desktops it is also relevant to consumer desktops as well.

  • Using Front Panel Composite Video 2 RCA Jack on the HP m8000 Media Center PC

    The front composite video jacks did not have software support for the release of this PC.  The analog video software was not compatible with Windoze-Vista so there was no software given with this PC model that supported analog video input.
