MSI GX 623 TV tuner

Hi,
I noticed that MSI GX 623 laptop has a tv antena slot in back. I heard that some models of laptop has build in tuner, some not - but all models slot for antena has.
So I have question, how to know, is it model has tv tuner, or is just empty slot without tuner

Like Bas states, the white label will tell you if the notebook has a tuner. The TV tuner is an optional item and the connector is on the notebook whether it has the tuner or not.

Msi gx 623 no turbo boost

hello everyone,
i have my msi gx 623 laptop for over the years now, at the begining for like 8 months everything was ok, with turbo off cpu speed was almost 2.0MHz with turbo on cpu speed always jumped to over 2,3MHz.
Now for last few months i've noticed that my turbo button doesn't boost cpu while playing games.
this one screen was taken with turbo off
and this one with turbo on
anyone have any idea what can be wrong? as you can see, all what turbo does is rises cpu temp nothing else.
im runing win 7 x64 and bios wasn't updated at all

Quote from: Bas on 13-August-10, 09:32:33
As I said before, put W7-32bit on it, unless you have specific 64bit software you must run, as I do believe SCM doesn't function.
32bit software with hardware control won't work in 64bit windows!
Nor does any 32bit program benefit anything being run in 64bit Windows.
To say brief: Do not run 64bit Windows if you don't know why you run it.
i run 64bit because 32bit doesnt use all of my 4gb rams, well at least it didnt one year ago.
btw how can you explain why i had no problem with win 7 64bit and turbo boost 4-5 months ago?
here is some proof that scm doesnt have problem functioning on 64bit, the only thing that doesnt work is that cpu speed doesnt boost with turbo on

MSI AE2410 series tv tuner

I Have bought an MSI Wind Top AE2410 all-in-one pc. It does have a tv antenna connection in the back, but Windows Media Center did not detect any tuner. Does anyone have any idea how to set up the tuner? Any help is extremely appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. The local dealer from whom I bought this MSI pc in Iran said that it included a tv tuner. However, your reply makes me doubt if the dealer had enough technical information. Could you please tell me how I can verify if this pc has indeed got a built-in tv tuner? If the existence of the tv connector in the back of the pc does not indicate that it has a tv tuner, then what is the connector for?
Many thanks.

Troubleshooting problems with hardware and MSIPVS

Well, I got MSIVPS3 to recognize my tv box but I can't seem to get a lock down on any channels. All i get is snow from every channel. No audio either. Everything works peachy on my desktop running win2k but my laptop is where I need the video input from a camcorder. Grrrr. I think I wasted my money buying this P.o.S.

MSI Vox USB TV Tuner

Hi everyone!
Please post topics related to this hardware in the TV@nywhere forum!!

First of all the vox usb tv tuner will operate on Xp home SP2.
If you open the device manager, then Sound, video and game controllers you will probably see that USB2820 has been installed.
You must have MSI MS8609 Video installed as MSI PVS or MSI PVS 3 will only talk to the drive of this name.
Both drivers are provided by eMPIA technology and maybe the vox identifies itself as USB2820.
You will notice I posted the same problem a few days ago.
A partial solution I found was to uninstall USB2820 drivers and install the MSI MS8609 Video driver. I have not been able to install the driver of 2005 as found on the
MSI site but can install the 2004 version that came with my vox CD. The partial solution is the schedule/record function of MSI PVS 3 does not work with this driver so
I must run MSP PVS for the schedule/record function.

MSI VOX USB TV tuner PAL/NTSC settings

Hi,
I've used the VOX USB tv-tuner for a couple of weeks now and am pretty happy with it. Actually it works rather good for my purpose except for that the WinDVR program always resets the Device mode to NTSC_M. I live in Sweden and have to go set it to PAL_G or PAL_B all the time. However every time I restart WinDVR or if I try to record a program it resets to NTSC_M.
Today I also wanted to record a program so I hit the record button on WinDVR thinking it would work. However later it turned out with just a green screen and distored sound. So I discovered I had to force it to PAL_G and PAL SVCD recording settings and then it would work.
This is a big hassle to fix everytime. Any fix for this planned soon?
I'm using the latest MS verified MSI driver and WinDVR software that I could find on your website.
My system is
P4 3.0GHz socket 775
EPoX EP-5EPA+ motherboard
Radeon X300 PCI-Ex16 graphics with dual screens with 1600x1200@75Hz
1.5GB RAM
Windows XP Pro SP2
TV-tuner is connected directly to a USB2 port. No USB hub used.
Driver date: 05.05.2004
Driver version: 1.1.505.0

your VCR may use some form of MAcrovision protection, which prevents video piracy (or even legitimate uses!)
try another VCR and see what happens. have you got a DVD player or Xbox / PS2 you could hook up to test composite input. tried another composite lead in case that one is bad?

MOVED: Fan Control on ATI HD 4670 Mobility on MSI GX 623 laptop

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebook.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=138890.0

Hi flyby99,
The VGA module on the laptop does not have a dedicated fan like a regular video card does therefore you don't see a fan control for it.
The fan is controlled by main BIOS and its speed varies depending by system temperature. There's no way to change its speed, thank you.

MSIPVS+MSI-Vox USB2 TV Tuner = No Closed Caption(CC) support

I bought the MSI Vox. Everythign installs fine.. TV is fine - But when you try to turn on closed caption on NTSC signals - Nothing! No Closed captioning. I kept a TV next to the computer (Your std. 13" NTSC) and CC is fine on the channel. I wonder if there is any workaround. I need CC to work. Anyone have any ideas - please post reply. Thx in advance AP

Try using some other progs and see if you can get any CC as it migth not be a hard problem .. Just MSIPVS being it`s usual self.

What MSI should do to fix MSI TV Anywhere Master !

able Of Content for below email:
1) context
2) essentials on how-to definitively fix MSI TV Anyhwere Master while natively recovering your customers long-term trusting in MSI logo.
- - - - - -DETAILS:
1) My neighbors have recently bought 2 pieces MSI - TV Anywhere Master tuner cards by following my latest advices.
They both are students engaged by few media tasks in our campus to provide internal training by video samples and news broadcasts in local areas.
One of them told me his intention to even start some anti-MSI virtual campaigns through world-wide forums against your product as a reasoned revenge for huge effort with no results during lot of time-loossing trials to setup, stabilize and properly use your MSI proprietary software and drivers (MSIPVS-WinDVR) delivered by with this product's original package.
Now they claim as many others found on alike forums, all money back and tens hours stress compensations from proximate shopping center cause these MSI tuner cards not working as they thought while comparing MSI product with other's alike. It seems that MSI duped its long-term customers.
They tested on both licensed and updated Windows 98 SE and latest Windows XP Pro (latest service packs included) but received undesirable results that we will compact them as below to suggest you what and how to fix it.
2) Best ways to fix it :
I. redesign all its drivers to include that MSI "secret" proprietary strings-keys requested to keep full activated your TV Anywhere Master card (CX23881-19 chipset) anytime for any other tuner/capture application (other 3rd party software like ChrisTV Pro, DScaler, PowerVCR, Virtual VCR /freeware!!!)
Currently, all these better featured applications can setup and recognize most of your competitors alike cards (based on new 10-bit CX2388x chipset) but not yours MSI Anywhere !
It is worst way to freeze by default your customers expectations and usage development!
So, unlock your card by new drivers really compatible with Microsoft OSs so, nobody will complain anymore against MSI hurried & unfinished or less-featured products due to any software related issues!
Remind that you are one of greatest HARDWARE producer not SOFTWARE, so, better provide what you are to provide! Let others much more trained for software purposes to do it and to compete among themselves while getting much more freely alternatives to promote your cards to an wider range of users with different skills and interests.
II. redesign MSIPVS-WinDVR's setup panel to recognize and include any codec previously installed in the system during its launching, like your competitors' above software already done it successfully ! Mostly focus on DivX for video and MP3 for sound and alike codecs which are mostly used and available today everywhere (>70%!) both licensed and freeware releases, comparing with those obsolete MPEG files! There is no need to train yourself by own software cause you better ask people like Chris(TV Pro) to do it for you much better and cheaper! Forgot about MPEG2 and MPEG4(yours!) cause are for nothing ! Your MPEG4 not works on others PCs while MPEG2 is no use for most customers due to large resources requirement with even lower performances than an very well-settled DivX, which needs ten times lower space!!
Go DivX 5x and MP3 for any software based encoding purposes is the only target for your recording settings panel!
Also for Win Producer /Win Coder which can not not administer DivX and MP3 correctly. (ask VirtualDub to replace it cause it is working infinitely better!)
III. channel settings and scanning must be also redesigned to get more stable and transparent to the user: add a new column with its channel frequency and a real working stable control to FINE tuning and SAVE.
Finally, BEST is to setup a dedicated text file to save and launch all configurations within. Anytime when push APPLY or SAVE, to write something in that file and then to read from there instead of use usually unstable system registry dynamic records. In the same way, customer who want to fix something or really save their settings to preserve your cards and applications for unexpected failures, development etc, will be able to adjust on his own risk some settings which were not correctly settled by the application etc.
This is to provide much more reliability to this card usage and to compensate potential bugs in future releases.
IV. Provide an interface like above (III) to the enduser who mostly demands to reconfigure remote control unit which is now too poor and not include essential controls like start/stop recording etc. All remote controls to be written in a text file at also enduser disposal to modify shortcuts in order to reallocate remote control buttons to another panel controls etc.
V. MSI-Radio tuner must have channel name (retrieved from FM table settings) displayed under the frequency and much more selectivity and real correct scanner (not use that "less stations" control). It could be very demanded a wider range scanning from 30 MHz up to 110 MHz for many other locations.
Both for TV channels (see MSI-PVS to provide full tuning all frequencies including manually settings each channel!)
If it is hard to do it for Windows 98 release, provide them for XP at least but inside a better structured website than now. In the present there are still many confusings and no stable procedure (that provided on the original CD has lot of bugs and missings risking to freeze the system!) regarding from where to download updates (too many different addresses to discover inside MSI-support site). MSI TV Anywhere Master must have its own unique sub-site with all updates downloads included in the same page, both for drivers and for applications! Also is a must to include WDM MS-8606 drivers instead of current ones to not receive anymore that error "nVIDIA WDM universal Capture" not found.
Please email me and my neighbor marcellino
([email protected]) when demands described above will get fixed !
Thank you in advance and wishing MSI good lock for better results!
Regards,
TekSam & marcellino

Exactly my thoughts.
Probably they're even too affraid to give us some answers about how, what and where.
I had a previous descussion about an MSI mb that wouldn't accept a 40GB Maxtor hd. My asus mb didn't have a problem with detecting it.
Their reply was to flash to the latest bios version, which I already wrote that I did that in my e-mail to them.
A friend of mine had the same MSI mb, guess what??? same problem. His Dell pc, no problem.
Wrote back to MSI, waiting for 3 years now , never received an e-mail. (wrote a couple of reminders).
I now bought this tv nowhere card and I have the same problem as many people have.... alot of sh*t .... and not working. No refund, 0 support, users must help other users to solve certain issues, ---> 10 clean versions of winXP and hours and hours of stress
This will be the last MSI product that I will EVER buy.

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

MSI VOX - MSIPVS (only cd); dropped frames in other programs;

I have dell inspirion 11000 (512mb, celeron 2,GHz) and msi vox USB TV tuner.
I have two problems.
In MSIPVS I can only select cd audio for audio output , but I have only mic in input on my computer. I guess this problem is in connection with the sound card on my lap top. I would like to know, if anyone was in the similar situation and how he managed to get out of this problem.
Second problem is probably in connection with msi vox driver. I am able to get preview only from IUVCR and MSIVPS. I can capture sound and video only from IUVCR since this program allows me to select microphone for audio input. But during the capturing I have a lot of dropped frames (around 70% ... my CPU usage is very small, disc fragmented .... ). Other programs just don't work.
Please HELP ME! ;-)
Thank you in advance

Could be the memory, but it's hard to tell.
It may be a problem with reading the timecode from the camera.
Some things to try:
You could try to capture now and capture the entire tape with device control on.
Turn device control off and capture now (this will not allow you to recapture footage based on timecode)
If you are capturing to your internal drive where your operating system is running on and have journaling enabled, this could be fouling up the capture process. To see if you have journaling on go to:
Applications->Utilities->Disk Utilities
select the drive you are capturing to
click the select the File Menu and see if the journaling submenu says enable journaling or disable journaling. If it says disable, then the drive is journaled.
Capturing to a FileVault Volume will slow down the capture process and probably causes dropped frames.
Reboot the computer and hold the right shift key down to start in safe mode. If you have multiple users, hold the shift key down when logging into a user. Try to capture in safe mode. This will turn off any pesky programs you may have running in the background.
Make sure the drive you are capturing to has enough free space. If you are capturing to a drive that is close to full or heavily fragmented, it will slow the capture process down and drop frames.
Other than that... it could be a memory issue or it could be the speed of your hard drive.

MSI Mega PC tv Card

Just want to know wherein UK I can buy the MSI megaPC specific TV tuner card.
MS-8606-40, I think it was.
The info about has disappeared from the website, and no-one seems to stock it.
I don't want to buy another one and not be able to use the combined remote that came with my MegaPC.

In desperation, I downloaded the instructions for the tv@nywhere, and they seem to be what I needed.Why were they not on the cd or in the box?
Only problem remaining is that the TV card :angryfire:sound input doesn't seem to work properly with the composite video input, and the svideo input is in monochrome from my Thomson STB(I suspect that is because the thomson box is not svideo compatable though)
Ah well, getting there slowly.
Just the poor documentation is frustrating.

TS1424 bonjour missing/msi.installer

(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

Msi fx5900&terratec tv problem

First of all, English are not my native language,that means I make many (even too much) mistakes,but I hope you will be able to understand and help me.
Specs:
GA 8inxp
P4 2.4
512 MB ddr
Audigy
Terratec cinergy 400 tv tuner
MSI 5900FX-vivo 128MB
Win XP
After installing MSI vga,my tv tuner is no longer functional. Going back to Ti 4600(without vivo), tv-tuner works fine.
To be more specific, with msi_vga tv-tuner disappears from device manager and I cannot install drivers. Doing so via add_hardware_wizard the dreadfull code 10 message appears and,of course, tv-tuner does not work.
I have tried the latest drivers, including wdm(vivo and vivo_tv tuner) with out succes.I have also tried the last two drivers for cinergy.
Considering that cinergy works fine with my Ti suppose the problem is MSI's vga.So,please, don't adress me to Terratec.
Any sugestion is welcome, a solution is even more .
If a moderator or any one from technicall support team read my mail,please send me the bios of msi 5900/128MB without vivo. I am willing to try it.I have a hint that vivo causes the problem.
Thank you in advance (and excuse my English)

I guess MSI's tech support is not that great after all
A month later my request and no response from MSI.
I am really dissapointed and being so I will not buy any MSI product nor I will suggest them to anyone.
Farewell MSI

MSI AE2400-068 is rather disappointing

I have purchased a MSI AE2400-068 and I have to say that I am disappointed because of the following reasons:
- Despite the press release and the information on the MSI website, a TV-tuner is not included;
- Despite the press release and the information on the MSI website, a subwoofer is not included;
- The sound sucks, if I do not play anything, the speakers make noise and when I play a CD the sound is distorted;
- Windows 7 was already installed and set up in Bulgarian, which made it impossible to operate the computer (I am from the Netherlands and my knowledge of the Bulgarian language is totally absent) and which indicated that the computer was already operated by someone before me...
- Because I did not return the computer within 8 days after delivery (because I was on holiday for a week), MSI is now saying that they can not do anything for me and I should return to the store, so I have the feeling that this will be a long story with me in the middle with a second hand computer...
Has anyone experience with the sound problems? And is there a solution for these problems?
Thanks!

First of all, I must draw your attention to the following statement clearly shown on the Specifications tab on the MSI website:
Quote
The specifications may change without notice. The actual products sold are different from areas. Please check the detailed specifications with your local dealers.
So for your first statement:
Quote
- Despite the press release and the information on the MSI website, a TV-tuner is not included;
It does also quite clearly say there:
Quote
TV Tuner Optional (PCI-E interface)
However, for your next statement:
Quote
- Despite the press release and the information on the MSI website, a subwoofer is not included;
You might have a case against your retailer, as it does state:
Quote
Audio 2x5W 5.1 channel speakers+10W Subwoofer
with no mention of being optional, but this would depend on how your retailer was advertising the product.
However, you should definitely take this up with your retailer, especially as you say:
Quote
- Windows 7 was already installed and set up in Bulgarian, which made it impossible to operate the computer
Did you buy this PC from a reputable dealer in the Netherlands? If so, then the unit should have been supplied with Dutch Windows pre-installed.
Quote
Has anyone experience with the sound problems? And is there a solution for these problems?
I've yet to see any monitor supplied with superb quality speakers, so I wouldn't expect the earth from something supplied with this unit either. So if you're willing to live with it, you could buy some decent external speakers.
However you may have well obtained a dud unit from your supplier, so you should defintely contact them first and see if they will exchange your Wind Top for you, if you are unhappy with it.
