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"

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
dan

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.

Ipod universal dock and remote doesnt work!!!!!

I'm fairly new to the whole apple and ipod thing, i bought an ipod nano last week and bought a universal dock with remote today (proper apple one), but the menu button on the remote doesnt work(it does on the ipod itself but thats not the point) so i cant go 'back' from an album i'm playing to find another one i want to play. the volume works fine as does the track back and forth and play pause. But my menu button on the remote doesnt work, this is incredibly frustrating!!!!!
Can anyone help?
one more thing it's not a fault with the remote as my brother has a mac mini with a remote which works fine with his, but the menu button again isnt recognised on my dock!

If you read the manual, you'll see that the menu button is for other devices, but not our Nano's. Apple doesn't make this clear on it's website, IMO. Had I known this, I would not have bought a u-dock. Plus, when my Nano is docked, I can't use the lower 1/3 of the wheel, as the Nano sits too low for my fingers to reach. It's going back to the store next week.

TV@nywhere remote doesnt work

does anyone have any idea why my remote doesnt work?

And
1. Make sure all software (Windows, Drivers, DirectX and MSIPVS is latest and greatest.
2. Really, really make sure that connector is all the way in. Wiggle it and push.
3. Check the battery.

My remote doesnt work

I just had to replace the hardrive in my Pavilion dv7-1270us. Now my remote doesnt work at all. I was wondering what programs do I need to make my remote work. I was also wondering what program i need to make my Quickplay button work thats next to the power button on the keyboard work.
My operating system is windows vista 32 home premium

If you installed the Factory OS that came with your machine then the remote should work with no issues. If you are still having the issues change the battery of the remote. I cannot remember off hand if there is a driver associated with the IR on the notebook or not. I will look into this for you.

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

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

New remote doesnt work

Hi
I just got my new Vision+ box in time for BT Sport, but the remote doesnt do anything. The blue light flashes on the remote when I press a button but nothing resgisters on teh vision box.
I'm stick at the setup stage where I have to choose a PIN.
Any ideas?

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply. My remote doesn't have a button to control TV. It has buttons for BT Vision and YouView
I have pressed BT Vision before other buttons but no effect
You might have the wrong type of remote controller.
You said you had a Vision+ box but also said your remote has a Youview button. Have a look at the pictures on this page.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9579/kw/remote%20control/c/348,3048,1153
If you have a black BT Vision+ box (made by Pace) you need a remote like one of the top two pictures.
If you have a BT Youview box (made by Humax) you need a remote like one of the bottom two pictures.

Apple Remote doesnt work

Requirements :
Mac Book Air 11,6 " OSX 10.7 and Apple Remote !
Has anybody a Idea why the Apple Remote did not work with this Macbook Air

Your MacBook Air most likely doesn't have an infared reciever, which is required to use the remote. Only the models up to Mid 2009 have the IR port that is required.

MSI GE70 2OE - turbo boost doesnt work ?

Hey all,
im confused of intel turbo boost technology.
I think my notebook wont boost up and I dont know why. My bios is locked so I can not do any overclocking ...
I dont know why but i can not install intel extreme tuning (dont launch when istalled ...)
My power plan settings: maximum performance (100% CPU in detailed settings)
CPU still shows max 2,4 GHZ (in HWinfo) here's the screen:
Also, my question is: how to enable turbo boost when my bios is locked ?

Thank you for answer.
Yes you're right but it isnt my case.
I have already solved it. Problem was here:
battery and power cable (both together) must be connected in notebook at same time !!
Otherwise turbo boost will be permanently off. So, not only battery or power cable affects this turbo effect,.. but both of this things must be plugged in notebook at same time ... :/ damn

Help! my remote doesnt w

My remote doesnt work on my audigy 2 zs platinum pro system.

Henk,
What have you checked so far? Do the other options on the dri've work, such as the headphones, or line/mic-in? Check the optical output to see if there is a light (remove the button first). If there isn't, it could mean the power cable isn't connected. Double-check the connections inside the system, and the cable going to the external dri've is secured properly.
Did you try other batteries in the remote yet?

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

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.

MSI GF4 Ti-4200 doesnt work with WindowsXP

I can't get the MSI display tools to work - it crashes,
the vbios.dll doesnt load, it also crashes.
the tv in doesnt work ,it crashes
the tv out doesnt work ,it crashes.
all the supplied software also crashes "application has encountered an error and cannot continue. sorry for any inconvenience"
the intervideo software (windvr, wincoder, winproducer) and MSI PVI software all crashes as well.
what's the deal with this stuff? ?(
I have a Dual AMD athlon Tyan thunder k7 motherboard,
MSI Ti-4200-VTD video card and MSI tv anywhere card.
is there any resolution for this?

I'm sorry gfilitti if I don't have my system listed, but I thought my question was pretty simple...
Has ANYONE been able to make the InterVideo WinProducer 2 software, that comes with the retail version of the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 card, work successfully under the Windows XP Home or Pro operating system?
If the answer is YES, then I will begin investigating why my system can't.
If the answer is NO, then I only ask for other people's recommendations of what software WILL work in place of that. I NEED those functions to work. That's why I paid extra for the VIVO.
All we've heard so far in this thread are NO votes. I would like to see just how widespread this is. If I can find ONE person who claims it works fine on his/her computer under Windows XP, then my NEXT question would be if they had to do anything different to make it run, or was it just a straight install? Did they add the program patch available from the MSI website? See where I'm going with this?
If you would REALLY like my system details, here ya go...

BTW, I would think when investigating a program's FLAT refusal to run, that the MOST important things aren't listed in these signature files. It has to do with what ELSE is running at the same time. Which services are running and which are NOT? What memory resident programs are loaded at boot-up? Any service packs installed? How about any security patches from Microsoft? Which anti-virus software (if any)? Which DirectX version? Personal firewall? Etc., etc.
Granted, the hardware DOES have a factor, but I feel all of these are MORE important factors than the speed or brand of a persons hardware. I look at the signitures more as bragging rights than anything else.
Now, this is just my opinion and may not reflect the feelings of the more sane people around me.

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

Have you went to Bose"s support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.
