Megasky 580 recording problems

I have the usb digital receiver version of the megasky 580 usb which in all respects works fine off my external aerial and I am happy with that. I have no issues with channel search and playback is quite stable. However, when I try to record anything to my disk I frequently get about 25 minutes through the recording then the whole system halts. All I can do is hard reset the pc. Might there be a software conflict that is causing this issue such as AV or wireless network kicking in? the Pc is an AMD 2600+ with half GIG DDR and a 160G ATA that I use for video editing of which there is at least 100G free.
Thanks for any responses

although you get good analogue reception, are you in an area that has good digital coverage?
here in the UK, we can buy indoor aerials designed for digital reception; i have one myself, but i still have to use a signal booster as well
digital TV needs a very good signal to work; whereas with a slightly weak signal on analogue TV you can still receive the transmission but with noise and 'snow', a weak digital signal simply won't show anything at all
experiment with trying your indoor aerial in different positions in your room; try putting near to a window pointing towards your nearest DTT transmitter, some types of wall can block certain signals
you might find you need to invest in a good wideband rooftop aerial

Megasky 580 standby problem

After computer wakes up from standby or hibernate I get the blank screen.
Only after I remove megasky from usb port I see the picture on monitor.
I have latest version of software and drivers, all windows update files...
Since I want to use scheduled recordings can you give me some tip or link
to the new version of drivers (if existss).
thanks

MSI MegaSky 580 - Reception problems!

I am having a huge problem with my MEGASky 580 Digital TV Dongle. The problem is i receieve very low reception/signal. The antenna which was provided in the box gave very very little signal so i went and bought an antenna and although the reception is a bit better - it is still unwatchable. Most of the time i get no picture at all - thats how bad the reception is. :(
I have 2 TV's in my house (analogue) - both are operating through indoor rabbit ear antennas and i get 100% picture. I am in a city area so there shouldnt be any problem - but the signal is terrible.
Could there be any interference or what is wrong??
Please help - im out of ideas.
Thank You
This is the antenna i bought: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/446b150901373d442742c0a87f9c065b/Product/View/L4017

Problem With MSI Megasky 580

Bought the MSI Megasky 580 about a week ago to watch tv on my pc, installed it everything seemed to work fine but i press scan channels and it doesnt find a thing, not even one programme, put the antenna in a bout 8 different places in my room and it doesnt even get a weak signal, any ideas?
thanks

I have contacted the msi customer service about this AMD related problem. Their reply was the following:
"We make sure Genesys’s driver is no problem since we have tested countless times of AMD motherboard!! I suspect that your system’s software may be interfered with Genesys driver or OS has been the problem (instable), thus I propose you reinstall OS and don’t install other software first (as long as install north / south bridge chip, graphic card or LAN drivers, and so on), then go to our website to download 5580 latest driver and patch and try again!!
5580 driver link:
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6)
5580 PVR patch link:
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6)"
I would just like to say that this is a pretty sh**ty product if it requeires a new installation of OS before you can actually use it. And by the way, this was one of the first devices/softwares that I installed to my brand new computer, and it still did not work.
I have no intention of installing all my OS and programs again just because of this piece of hardware. My OS is perfectly stable and everything else works fine. It is just amazing how the programs in my P4 computer does not interfere with mega sky, even though they are exactly the same as in my AMD computer
I think I'm going to give up and toss this mega sky in to a swamp.

MSI Megasky 580, My remote doesnt Work

Hello there everybody
Im having some trouble working my remote with my megasky 580. It just doesnt seem to work at all, i just bought my megasky 580 last week. It has worked once before when i first got it. Im confused as to what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MY PC Specs are
P4 2.8GHZ intel celeron
768mb DDR ram
200GB hard drive
2 port usb (on board) 4 port (pci card) NB my Megasky 580 is connected to my onboard usb slots

I have a program called StartupMonitor. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml
It stops unwanted programs from running at startup.
If you have somthing like it, it can be antivirus, anti-adware or a firewall, doing the same thing as StartupMonitor, then that can be the problem.
See if "URemote.exe" and "Monitor.exe" is running.
But try reinstalling all drivers and Presto! PVR.
If you know how to use the registry, then try to edit and add this.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"URemote"="C:\\Program files\\NewSoft\\Presto! PVR\\URemote.exe"
"ChangeFilterMerit"="C:\\Program files\\NewSoft\\Presto! PVR\\ChangeFilterMerit.exe"
"Presto! PVR Monitor"="C:\\Program files\\NewSoft\\Presto! PVR\\Monitor.exe"

Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?

'Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?d So I have a Xi-Fi Fatality, and I would like to be able to record directly from my computer so that it's own output is also the input. For example, if I'm on ventrillo or something and I want to play a funny mp3 to show my friends I'd like to be able for the audio to come directly from the output.
Anyways, my microphone seems to work fine, and that's where the trouble begins.
I go to the sound control panel and click on the recording tab. ? It has microphone as the default device and it says "working."
There are also options for "Auxillary" "Line-In" "Digital-In" and "What U Hear"
However, under each of them it says "currently unavailable"
I am unable to get any of them to function even when I set them to the default device.
Is this normal?

+ It's funny you should post this because I came here right now to post the exact same thing. I would have posted earlier but I forgot my account information and had to wait to get a reply email.
So... same here (yes I know this was no help).
Actually this is kind of weird. Every now and then my "Aux 2" will become available and my mic is not. I have to restart my computer 4 or 5 times for my mic to become available.

Record Store only reads one record problem

I have a problem where I can read and write a record to a records store, but i can not do this for multiple records as i am trying with below code. Any help is very welcomes thank you, I am very new to J2ME.
I have a J2ME midlet that calls the startRecordStore() method which create a record 1.
It uses a static int records and it increments it every time a new recordstore is created, well I am not entirely sure if i need to do this. Because I want to go through all the records created.
public void startRecordStore() {
     // Incremenets records count
     // Temporary example for this workshop only
     records+=1;
     try { rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
     catch (Exception err) {
          Alert alr = new Alert("Error Creating", err.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
          alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
          display.setCurrent(alr);
}Then it calls the readData() method which reads the data from the 3 fields, something like this
for(int i=0;i<count;i++) {
          ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString);
          ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString[i+1]);
          ods.writeInt(ReadDataInt[i]);
          ods.flush();
          // Put the whole write stream to a byte
          ReadDataByte = os.toByteArray();
          // finally add the fetchDataType to to a record store
          rs.addRecord(ReadDataByte, 0, ReadDataByte.length);
     os.reset();
     os.close();
     ods.close();
Then the WriteData() method is called displaying the records
PROBLEM it only displays the last record, instead of more then one record.
eg. StudentStore1, StudentStore2 etc etc ..
// create record enumerator referrence to the instance
     re = rs.enumerateRecords(null,null,false);
     // go through each records using enumerator
     while(re.hasNextElement()) {
          rs.getRecord(re.nextRecordId(), ReadInputData, 0);
          buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
          buffer.append("\n");
          buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
          buffer.append("\n");
          buffer.append(ids.readInt());
          buffer.append("\n");
          Alert alr = new Alert("Currently Reading", buffer.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
          alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
          display.setCurrent(alr);
     // CLOSE INPUT STREAM
     is.close();Any idea thanks guys

public void startRecordStore() {
    records+=1;
    try {
        rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
    }Are you sure this is what you want to do?
I don't know where you're calling startRecordStore(), but you're creating a new record store for each "records".
Shouldn't you be just opening the record store "StudentStore", and them adding records to that store?

Audio recording problem in Cap 5

I have used earlier Captivate editions a great deal and never had audio recording problems. I am getting a weak scratchy audio recording. I have tried in Vista, Win 7 and with multiple microphones. What can be the problem?

Joe,
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, so more folk will see it and can respond.
Now, did you use a USB mic? Many have had issues with those.
Also, going back about a year, there was a similar thread, and the description was about the same - "chipmunk." I do not recall the flow of that thread, or the resolution, but will try to find it. I just hope that it was not before the forum changeover, as it is likely gone forever.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] OK, I think that this is the THREAD.

Audio Recording Problem - distorted

Hey all,
I got an audio recording problem here...
When I try to record audio onto my project, the sounds is very poor and distorted. Plus, there is a pretty ugly delay. But when I use garageband, the sound is great and how it should be. So this makes me think that Logic has some sort of problem with my driver (Firebox) or somethin'.
Here's my Setup
-imac G5
-Logic Pro 7.2 (Bought just a few days ago)
-Presonus Firebox (audio interface)
-Condensor Mic
Cheers!

Hi,
It is possible that your FireBox is not the audio card set up in Logic, and that you are accidentally recording the built-in mic.
If Garageband is seeing your FireBox corrctly, then it is the setup in Logic, and nothing else, that you should be looking at.
Check your audio hardware and drivers.
Cheers

Need help please I'm new to this forum... I have been having a few problems with my recordings like others I try to play back programme I have recorded and get nothing and also trying to delete a programme I'm getting a message to say I can't delete as the programme may be running on another box!!! I only have 1 box!!! I have tried all the rebooting fixes but no joy... I have an old white style hh... Is this or the box tired and in need of replacing??? I've also checked the settings and I'm online and have space on my disk!!! Help

We have had the same problem, which is really frustrating!!
The box appears to be recording but when the programme is played back, it stops during the programme and goes to the resume play on the menu or sometimes the channel isn't there, its just a black screen, I'm thinking of going to Sky if it carries on, getting really fed up now!!!

MegaSky 580 on Windows X64, Driver?

Hey Peeps,
I've just installed my MSI Megasky 580 onto my notebook and have used the latest drivers as posted on the UK MSI Site. I can't find any mention on the official site or indeed anywhere on the internet.
Does anyone have any information about 64 bit and the megasky 580?
Regards
Adam

there are no 64bit drivers released by MSI for this product
you could try asking on www.planetamd64.com, as most hardware like this is based on an existing design (eg the MSI DigiVOX is recognised by MCE as a Twinhan DVB USB), there may be alternative drivers there you could use

Duplicate records problem

Hi everyone,
I'm having a a little difficulty resolving a problem with a repeating field causing duplication of data in a report I'm working on, and was hoping someone on here can suggest something to help!
My report is designed to detail library issues during a particular period, categorised by the language of the item issued. My problem is that on the sql database that out library management system uses, it is possible for an item to have more than one language listed against it (some books will be in more than one language). When I list the loan records excluding the language data field, I get a list of distinct loan records. Bringing the language data into the report causes the loan record to repeat for each language associated with it, so if a book is both in English and French, it will cause the loan record to appear like this:
LOAN RECORD NO.     LANGUAGE CODE
123456                             ENG
123456                             FRE
So, although the loan only occurred once I have two instances of it in my report.
I am only interested in the language that appears first and I can exclude duplicated records from the report page. I can also count only the distinct records to get an accurate overall total. My problem is that when I group the loan records by language code (I really need to do this as there are millions of loan records held in the database) the distinct count stops being a solution, as when placed at this group level it only excludes duplicates in the respective group level it's placed in. So my report would display something like this:
ENG     1
FRE      1
A distinct count of the whole report would give the correct total of 1, but a cumulative total of the figures calculated at the language code group level would total 2, and be incorrect. I've encountered similar results when using Running Totals evaluating on a formula that excludes repeated loan record no.s from the count, but again when I group on the language code this goes out of the window.
I need to find a way of grouping the loan records by language with a total count of loan records alongside each grouping that accurately reflects how many loans of that language took place.
Is this possible using a calculation formula when there are repeating fields, or do I need to find a way of merging the repeating language fields into one field so that the report would appear like:
LOAN RECORD     LANGUAGE CODE
123456                      ENG, FRE
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as aside from this repeating language data there are quite a few other repeating database fields on the system that it would be nice to report on!
Thanks!

if you create a group by loan
then create a group by language
place the values in the group(loan id in the loan header)
you should only see the loan id 1x.
place the language in the language group you should only see that one time
a group header returns the 1st value of a unique id....
then in order to calculate avoiding the duplicates
use manual running totals
create a set for each summary you want- make sure each set has a different variable name
MANUAL RUNNING TOTALS
RESET
The reset formula is placed in a group header report header to reset the summary to zero for each unique record it groups by.
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X := 0;
CALCULATION
The calculation is placed adjacent to the field or formula that is being calculated.
(if there are duplicate values; create a group on the field that is being calculated on. If there are not duplicate records, the detail section is used.
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X := x + ; ( or formula)
DISPLAY
The display is the sum of what is being calculated. This is placed in a group, page or report footer. (generally placed in the group footer of the group header where the reset is placed.)
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X;
X

RESULT RECORDING PROBLEM

Dear Gurus,
I am facing problem I have maintained formula for paricular MIC,e.g Zn-for this MIC i have to calculate the percantage as 100 minus balance of the remaining MICs eg i have maintained in this form--1
100-(C9010C9020C9030C9040C9050C9060C9070C9080C9090)
Please note i have maintain the folowing parameters in control indicators for the MICs from 10 to 90 in the Inspection plan
1) Sampling procedure
2) Required chara
3) single results
4) Fixed scope
5)Record measured values
6)print
7) documentation
and only for the MIC which formula is maintain i have maintained CAL CHAR.
when i creat a purchase and do migo an inpsection lot is gnerated.
when go to t.code QA32 to record results in RECORD RESULTS CHARACTERISTICS OVERVIEW
I HAVE NOTICED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
1) FORMULA IS NOT BEEN CALCULATED.
2)INSPECTED COLCUMN NEXT TO SINGLE VALUE IS AN INPUT SCREEN.i.E-Number of Inspected Sample Units--(WHAT I MEAN ITS NOT GREY FEILD-THE VALUES HERE SHOULD BE 1 AND GREY )
3)ALSO THE SINGLE VALUE TAB IS GREY NOT USUAL-IF CLICK ON IT THE TAB DROP DOWN.
I HAVE RUN THIS SCENRIO IN MY DEVELOPMENT SERVER AND IT WORKED PREFECTLY,BUT MY CLIENT SERVER I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM
WHAT ARE SETTING I AM MISSING.
Regards
Ram
Edited by: RAMKUMAR WARIYAR on Feb 24, 2009 4:41 PM

Dear Ram
1) As the sample size was 1 system was taking this as Summarised recording & that is the reason why the system is showing 3 tabs instead 4
2) Please do the following setting in Config : SPRO>QM> Basic Setting> maintain setting for plant level>Plant> Result recording > untick Summ. Recording n=1.
If you had ticked this means that the results recording will always be summarized if n = 1 (for example when inspecting one unit or 1 ml).
please do check now whether the formula is working for a new lot and you have 4 tabs in RR
Was a good question to solve

Remote control and MegaSky 580 (MS5580)

Hi,
i have the device with driver version AP v1.5.0.1 and latest patch for presto installed. watching tv works on one computer (1) but the remote control does not react.
On another older computer i tested(2), its the other way round. the remote control works, i can start the presto software with the red button, but then it crashes and presto can not start scanning because it can not find the device. strange, the ir-remote works but device not fount, he? anyway, this is not my pc, and i dont want do run the megasky on this one, but i just testet to see if the device is defective.
so, i asked at the msi support, but they said i have to ask the dealer. the dealer did not give any information but excanged the device for a new one. now i have the new device and meanwhile a new pc (3), but there is no difference: tv works but ir does not.
on pc (2) the new device and remote work but tv does not.
now i suspect there is a software fault.
so, asking the dealer for a 3rd device seems to make no sense.
what can i do before i buy another brand?
here the configurations i tested the mega sky with:
(1)
AsRock Mainboard 775VM800
Via P4M800 Chipset
Intel Celeron D 2,93GHz
ATI 9600Pro graphics
512MB DDR 333MHz
Windows XP SP2
logitech UltraX Optical Mouse (usb)
logitech Internet Pro Keyboard (usb)
(2)
some older board from msi?
Pentium 4 2,? GHz
geforce 4ti graphics
256MB ram
Windows XP SP2
unknown logitech mouse (usb)
noname keyboard (ps2)
(3)
AsRock Mainboard ALiveNF6G-DVI
NVidia NF-6100-430 Chipset
Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Onboard Geforce 6100 graphics
1024MB DDR2 800 ADATA ram
Windows XP SP2
logitech UltraX Optical Mouse (usb)
logitech Internet Pro Keyboard (usb)

i have done some more investigation with the remote control.
now i'm pretty sure, the sender/receiver work on any of the 3 pcs, but the drivers are not propperly setup or buggy on two of them. here are the things i have done:
in the presto software folder there is a \Driver\KbFilterDriver subfolder with REMOVE.exe in it. i ran it and after re-plugging in the device, there was a yellow exclamination mark at the dtv-receiver under human interface devices. it says the driver could not be loaded. now there was a button for using the "installed driver", that i used to install a microsoft standard hid keyboard driver. i was a little confused, but windows accepted this.
now i can open a notepad window, and every single key ot the remote control results in a character typed into notepad.
after pressing the buttons on the remote row by row, there are: o1abcdefgx2ijk
so what the hell is wrong with the GenesysLogic KbFilterDriver? i want to sit back and watch tv with the remote control in my hand! is that too much demanded? why does not the manufacturer respond on this problem? its obvioulsly their fault.

TV@nywhere Master Recording Problems

The TV@nywhere Master works fine for viewing, but I can't record without problems. There is a sound problem with all available versions of WinDVR. The recorded sound regularly "warbles" or pulsates. It is detectable when a musical tone is playing, otherwise it may be hard to hear. It is very annoying once you pick up on it. Other interVideo programs WinProducer and WinDVD Recorder exhibit the same problem.
I tried PowerVCR and I get an error message when attempting to record in MPEG2:
S0009 : Unable to render preview video stream.
I have all the latest drivers and software versions. I even tried a clean install of Windows several times and a different sound card, but no luck. I'm getting nowhere with tech support. Very frustrating.
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB
Onboard nForce2 sound (also tried Soundblaster Audigy)
AMD 2800+ Barton CPU
512MB DDR RAM
GeForce 5600 Video Card
250 Gig Hard drive
Windows XP

Using PowerVCR II 3.0, and there is no Use Smart Tee option available.
Here's all the options:
Video -> Overlay Options -> Overlay/Non-Overlay (Non-overlay causes a crash)
Profiles
Check boxes for MMX, SSE, 3DNow and Enhanced 3DNow. All are checked.
Recording / Advanced -> Advanced Options
Video Smoothing (during recording) - unchecked
Intelligent Noise Removal (during recording) checked
Enable Time-Shifting when recording - unchecked
Have tried changing most of these settings but always get error message, unless I use MPEG1 which is not acceptable quality.
I did a search in Help for "Smart" and for "Tee" and there are no matches.
