MSI TV @nywhere A/D and XP MCE problems on Mega 865

I can't seem to get the MSI TV card working on MCE.
Windows thinks the card is a modem when it detects it from start up and therefore it doesn't install correctly.
I've checked and the TV card instructions and it says it's compatible with MCE, so is it that MSI's tv card does work with their Mega pro?
I think everything else is working fine, apart from a few issues with the DVD-R drive resetting the computer when I press eject (I can live with that for now).
Please help!

Thanks for both of your responses
The tuner is both analogue and DVB.
It says here
http://msicomputer.co.uk/products.aspx?product_id=703683&cat_id=190
That it is compatible.
Is the info that MSI give on that page wrong?

Msi 6565 max fisr gnb and ATI 8500 problems..

hi,
Ive got a big problem, i put my new mobo in with a new processor and when i boot up the system, there is no response on my monitor, i have tried the following.
different monitor
different video card (current one is radeon 8500 128mb version)
isolating everything but the vid card and the mobo (taking off all HD, floppy, etc.
what else should i try? its becoming very frustrating? is it possible that i didnt recieved the correct p4? how do i tell if it is infact a northwood? should it say on the box or os there some other way that i should know... one thing that i think im worried about is that my video card might be using 3.3v and the mobo doesnt support 3.3v on the agp....i think ir ead that somewhere...any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Corsair 333 Mhz DDR is an excelent choice but can be a little pricey. That is what I am using with the same board and it is rock solid. Any 333 Mhz DDR ram from a major manufacturer will work great on that board. You can use 266 Mhz DDR as well if you do not overclock anything but the savings in price are usually not enough to matter. Make sure whatever ram you use is NOT registered (registered and buffered are the same thing). 2 exactly matched modules will give the best performance on that board. I still think the problem you are having is the video card.

MSI TV@nywhere problems

I just got my MSI TV@nywhere in today and i have a problem. I installed the MSIPVS Drivers then i try to install the InterVideo MSIPVS and i follow the instructions. It then asks for my name, company name, and a serial number. I looked everywhere for a damn serial number and the only place i could see was the S/N on the UPC label that came on the box. But, that doesnt work. What am i suppose to do?! I also dont think the MSIPVS drivers i installed actually installed! PLEASE HELP ;(

Just plug the video composite (yellow from the xbox) into the composite in on the card, then go to Radioshack and buy the folloiwng: 2 x Composite couplers & A cable the has 2 male RCA (usually red and white) and on the other end is a stereo 1/8" Headphone jack. This will allow you to hook the Right and Left audio out from the Xbox, into the couplers, then plug the RCA's from the other cable into the other end of the couplers. Now plug the 1/8" Stereo headphone jack into either the line in on the TV card, or directly to the line in on your sound card. Start the MSIPVS and fire up your Xbox.

Mega 180: MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and other issues...

I just get hand on a MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and installed it on my Mega PC unfortunatelly whenever i open the tray using the mega pc front panel button it will hang my mega pc badly and i have to reboot.
However i found a trick: It will not hang if i open the DVD using the Drive button, it is not convenient but at last works...
Other issue i have with my Mega PC:
* If i connect my USB bluetooth dongle the mega PC will not boot
* Sometimes after booting i loose the sound (nvmixer wont load complaining there is no nforce sound chipset on my mega pc !!) and i have to unplug the power for a while to get it back
* The remote control is crappy unless you can stay 2 meter and aim exactly at the mega pc...anybody found a replacement ??
* The last one was one of my RAM was corrupted and make my PC crash every days or so and corrupt some of my files on the HD :( :( it took me 3 months to find the problem....
Do you know if MSI have any plan to fix these issues some days ??? i am getting tired and thinking of replace my Mega PC with some shuttles ....

Thanks for the advice and here are my reply:
For DVD i want a 16x DVD writer i already tried several devices out there and this one will be my latest try..i can accomodate to eject with the drive button for now...I was hopping that using a MSI model would make it compatible but this one is not... :(
For missing sound devices i use the latest nforce drivers and i already found the root cause on this forum, it seems that if you start the PC when the HIFI mode is already open it will lock the sound device in HIFI and the PC mode cannot find it. The solution is to switch off HIFI mode BEFORE going PC mode...well weird
For USB bluetooth well it would have been nice to leave it all the time because i use it to synch my sony erricson P900 anyway i heard that it is a bios firmware problem so i am back to sync with the phone craddle (USB craddle but this one will not freeze the boot) The USB bluetooth is a PCI GW-BH02U.

Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865

As I am seeing a lot of the same questions regarding the Mega 865 I created this document,
29-Oct-2004 Added Northwood benefits
29-Oct-2004 Emphasized NOT to use live update for bios update
Processors in general
Start with the processor, I would say get something around 3 gighz (give or take) which is quite affordeble. If you are going for a prescott, make sure you upgrade your bios to 1.3 (see below).It will run a bit hot (understatement) otherwise.
If going for northwood any version is ok I believe. When I chose mine I let $$$ descide, and the prescott was on sale. (If I would buy a CPU for the Mega again, I would most likely go for a Northwood this time). Before buying your processor make sure your processor is supported, you can find the supported processors here;
http://cweb.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
Harddisk
As for Harddisk, I would suggest anything goes but take a serial ata since that is becoming the new standard nowadays.
When buying a HD larger than 130 Gig, make sure you install from a Windows XP SP1 CD (or higher) or divide your HD in smaller pieces. Otherwise you will not get a bigger partition than 130 Gigs.
DVD/CDROM
As for DVD/CD player, there is a special thread (see below) where everyone states if their DVD/CD player is working with the mega (there are some issues with some drives in HiFi mode, EVEN if they are MSI)
Mega PC barebones optical drive compatibility list
Memory
As for memory, get at least 512 Mb or 1024 Mb if you want to sit cosy. two sticks of DDR400 (a.k.a 3200) will do. Get a a-brand like Kingston, Samsung or look around on the forums what will work.
Installing Windows XP
Before installing Windows disable your USB devices, if you fail to do this you run the chance of not installing Windows XP on your C: drive (harddisk) and this will cause you trouble later on. After installation is complete you may enable them again.
Prescott processors & full size AGP cards
As for the GPU (Graphics card), this depends on what you are going to do with it. If you wanna try out at showshifting, and viewing get one with integrated TV tuner. Or use the on-board (some people are quite happy with it) and add a separate PCI tv tuner. If you wanna do hefty gaming (Doom3, Far Cry ... etc) you may want to get an better one. I'm quite happy with my Radeon 9800.
Please note; According to MSI, Prescott processors in combination with full-size AGP (add-in) cards are not supported. This is most likely a power issue since the full-size cards use a lot of power to run. Some forum members, stuborn as they are, are running with a full-size card.
Also note that you are installing a full-size card on your own risk in combination with a Prescott processor.
To calculate your estimated power supply take a look here;
http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
The following graphics cards seem to be working (please add to this thread if you have tested a full-size card with a Prescott processor so I can add it to this document)
Club3D Radeon AIW 9800 PRO
ATI Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT
ATI Radeon 9800 SE
AOPEN Aeolus 5900XT 128 Mb
Wise words from Stu:
If you do not want to take chances, go with a Northwood processor. Apperantly there is little perfomance difference between a Northwood and a Prescott processor, and the Northwood runs slightly cooler too.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Bios Update
When installing Windows XP with SP2 make sure you have the latest Bios version loaded (1.3) or install a Microsoft work-around fix. SP2 will not install without it, and you will have a hard time getting your system to work.
The Microsoft work-around fix can be found here;
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885626
The latest bios version can be downloaded here;
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
To install the latest bios, I would advise against using live-update. Use one of the following options instead;
1) Burn a bootable CD-Rom also containing the bios and flash software, (note some of the original Win98 CD's are bootable to MS-DOS prompt)
2) Create a bootable USB-memory key
--- Download the HP util to create one
--- http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html
--- Then create a bootable floppy on an other system or download from
--- http://www.allbootdisks.com/
--- (I used the Win98SE No ramdrive )
--- Then use the HP tool (on an system with an floppy drive) and enter a: as the source for booting,
--- and use the above created floppy.
--- Then copy the rest of the files from the a:\ drive (like autoexec.bat, config.sys etc) to the memory key.
--- ... and ... voila one bootable USB
--- make sure in the bios that the boot order of the USB key is before the Harddisk and your set to go.
3) Attach a floppy drive to the Mega 865
Bios update failure
Some people still manage to goof-up their bios, by doing the bios update from windows (winflash, live-update). I think there is only one road to travel when this happens, you have to attach a floppy drive to your mega. Then follow the following instructions (Award bios)
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/boot.htm
Good luck !
PC-Alert
Do not use the PC-Alert version from the MSI website as this does not work together with your Mega 865, instead only use the one on the CD-Rom that was supplied. In general even the supplied PC-Alert has caused a lot of grief (Taking up resources, reboot problems ... etc). If you choose to install PC-Alert, at least remove it from your start-up folder where it is installed. You can always start it manually from the MSI menu in your Start menu.
A good alternative to Pc-Alert is Speedfan, this program should be able to spot your 2 temeperature sensored CPU fans. You can then connect these fans to the CPU temperature sensor and be able to tweak the RPM's according to your need. Speedfan 4.17 can be found here;
http://www.almico.com/speedfan417.exe
Temperatures
As these tiny PC's have very little space, it is quite normal for them to run a bit hot. Do not be alarmed to see CPU temperatures around 60-65 degrees when running on load (depending on your processor of course).
Wireless Network adapter
As for wireless internet, the mega865 has a built-in mini-pci nic (network card). which supports only the 11 Mbps data rate. I think you have to try it out and see how it goes, you can always upgrade to 54 Mbps. I would suggest to get a 54Mbps access point, so you can always upgrade if needed (54Mbps will also work with 11 Mbps) Some forum members have succesfully replaced their Wireless Network adapters with a 54Mbps one. The following network adapters seem to be working;(please add to this thread if you have tested a wireless 54Mbps network adapter so I will add it to this document)
Intel PRO/Wireless BG Network Adapter
6 Channel sound
I recently bought a 5.1 set from Soundblaster. You can connect the 3 connectors to the back of your Mega, then in the Sound util set it up for 5.1 surround sound and you are ready to go. Definately worth it !
Reboot problems
When you run into problems when the Mega reboots suddenly, watch out for a couple of things.
Always check your event/log viewer. It is in your configuration management, but the easiest way to start it is to enter the following in your Run or Command line entry
eventvwr /s
Check if you see red-dots in your application section or system section. Google the problems before dropping them on the forum ! (As most problems are not Mega related IMHO)
One problem I had was caused by BITS 1.5, I had to upgrade to BITS 2.0. (I think it was recently released by Microsoft-Update but I mention it anyway). Bits 1.5 caused my Mega to reboot.
LCD Display / Sound problems
If you have any problems where your front LCD display is not working or your on-board sound is 'missing' first try unplugging your mega from the power outlet (so completely powering down) for 2 minutes. If you still have problems, drop them on this forum.
LCD API ?
Alas, no external programs are available to 'drive' your LCD display. Nor will MSI release an API/Blue print on how to control it.
If you find anything missing here or have additional tips, please add them to this thread and I will update this document.
Good luck with your Mega !
Raymond

rkoppen i salute you
a truly glorious summing up of the main points asked about the Mega 865 in particular, although many points will invariably refer also to the other Mega series
if i can add my tuppence worth, anyone considering going for a powerful graphics card can always shy away from the prescott
i was reading an article just when the prescott core cpus came out and the review basically said that there wasn't really much performance wise between the new prescott and the older Northwood cores.
obviously newer prescotts have higher clock speeds now (3.2? 3.4??), but surely a 2.8ghz CPU is still going to be powerful enough to play the latest games!! (in conjunction with a top graphics card obviously)
is the extra temp increase surely worth the extra couple of hundred mhz?

Old MSI TV@nywhere and can I use TV@nywhere MAster driver???????

The driver for this card was aweful in 2002 and never updated. Buggy is an understatement. The remote always stopped working, Pvr was lousy, promised MPEG 4 was never implemented in code , essentially the driver on the original MSI TV@nywhere was never finished. The new driver looks alot better. If tv Master driver works on the old card I want to try reinstalling it.
Thanks
P.S. If nobody has tried it I will and post the results.

you might find the tuner drivers will work, but as the Master card supports Stereo, the audio capture drivers won't work
if i were you i'd upgrade to a newer card; the TV@nywhere Plus is reasonably cheap

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

MSI TV @nywhere Completely Worthless?

So I installed the 8606 drivers which were hard as heck to find on their website, since it has 8786 or whatever as the main drivers. Anyways, installed them, installed pertinent software.
Problem:
I can't change channels. It does a full scan, looks everywhere, and even the channel # changes, but it stays at #1, and neither the image nor the sound change, it stays fixed a the first channel. Windows device manager has no problem .
Problem:
Its mono, I've heard others have this problem, but I frankly don't care.
Problem:
Virtualdub, other things don't capture RAW AVI at 640x480 YUV9. Everyone else seems to be able to do it with other cards. Any idea?

Ahhhh NOOOO :(.
Are you guys saying that the MSI TV@nywhere is NOT stereo? That it can't play stereo sound? Cause I'm only able to get mono on mine at the moment and I've been playing around with it for a while to enable the functions.
I can't even get the remote to work :(.
I don't get this.
It says that it's stereo on several sites and some seem to be able to get it. I don't know :(.
Can anyone help me with this? I don't have the MASTER version but the other one. At the moment, I'm only able to get the sound on one of my speakers at a time :(.

TV@nywhere and WDM driver problem-a weird one!

I just bought a TV@nywhere card, as an upgrade to my old Hauppauge WinTV card... I installed all the driver updates, and it looks and works great using the MSIPVS software. But, whenever I try to use the card with any software that uses the "Microsoft WDM Image Capture" driver, the video is either green or black and white with tiny vertical lines running through it. ;(
I made sure all the references to my old card were deleted from the registry, I reinstalled the TV@nywhere drivers... Nothing seemed to help.
Some Windows programs (like netmeeting) don't even recognize that I have a video device at all, and the ones that do give me the b&w or green screen.
Here's the weird part:
Finally, out of desperation, I opened Windows Movie Maker 2, the default program that comes with Windows. It named the Conexant chipset by name, and I was able to use it to record from my TV@nywhere card! Success! After doing this, I tried the programs that provided the B&W/green screens before, and they worked fine!
I thought I had permanently fixed the problem!
But now, every time I reboot, those programs that use the "Microsoft WDM Image Capture" driver go back to B&W/green... I have to run Windows Movie Maker 2 every time I reboot, record like a 5 second video, and close it to make these other programs behave normally. I'm out of ideas as to why this is happening. Can anyone help?
SPECS
Windows XP Pro SP1 (clean install 1 week ago)
MSI TV@nywhere card (correctly installed with no !'s or ?'s in Device Manager)
All 3 MSI TV@nywhere patches applied
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB RAM
120GB HD
MSI Geforce 4 MX
SB Live
ECS K7S5A MB (with latest BIOS and SIS chipset drivers)

Well, I am using XP, and WMM 2 comes with XP. The recording quality seems to be the same in MSIPVS and WMM 2.
Something else I noticed... I downloaded some new webcam software, and it lists 2 drivers: the same WDM video driver (with the same problems I described) and also a DIRECTX capture driver, which lists the Conexant chipset by name, and captures fine.
Could this be a DirectX issue? I am using DirectX 9.0a . I e-mailed MSI 3 days ago with a question about this but received no response. This forum is my only hope in solving this.

and then I will let you know if it works properly under
windows ME. Maybe, it is a windows 2000 issue?

on Windows Vista Home premium eidition.
I installed the drivers and Hypermedia center on wondows xp where it was running fine.
Thereafter , installed Windows Vista home premium edition, installed drivers for the tv card and then installed Hypermedia Cnter , but upon running the Setup Wizard in the Hypr media Cnter , it gave the error... Cannot Set Capture Device /(1000). In the device Manager, the tv tuner card was installed and written device is properly installed and working. However on other 3rd party TV Softwares like Cyberlink Power Cinema and Windows Media Cneter, the tv card is working fine and i can view tv on these softwares but Hypermedia center gives the above mentioned error.
I want to run tv on the Hypermedia Center because of its ease of use.
Kindly help me sort out this problem, ve searched in forums but cudnt find an answer yet.
thanks.

I had the same problem, all the PCI cards on my vista installation were not recognized under the device manager.
It's a vista problem. BUT THERE'S A SOLUTION, found it on some bb:
http://www.tkarena.com/forums/windows-vista-arena/33197-vista-pci-problems-2.html
1. Open command prompt (Administrator)
2. Type the following
bcdedit /set CONFIGACCESSPOLICY DISALLOWMMCONFIG
3. Exit command prompt
4. Reboot
I was only able to execute this command after doing this:
1. Start>Control Panel>User Accounts
2. Click on User Accounts
3. Turn User Account Control on or off
4. Turn it off
5. Restart
6. Type in the command at the command prompt ( use windows search on the bottom right above the windows start button, although it doesn't even say start anymore, it's just a windows sign)
7. restart
8. optionally after the computer recognizes the card, set the the User Account Control to ON again after the card installs.
Crazy, but it worked for a lot of ppl
good luck!

Can't get msi TV@nywhere to work with kt4v-l MB.

I recently bought a Msi KT4V Mother Board And A MSI TV@nywhere Card and it wont boot up it conflicts with the memory.
|MSI KT4V-L|AMD 2200+|NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 128MB|CD-RW|DVD-RW|512 MB DDR PC2100.
PLEASE HELP.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
The updates for the Geforce2 are to provide high resolution monitor support.
Though specifically stated as for use with Apple monitors, I would try updating the ROM of the Geforce first.
VGA may not work with the widescreen monitor, but DVI might.
There is no guarantee that the card will work with the monitor, but with the update, it should output digital resolutions of up to 1920x1200.
Using an ADC to DVI adapter might be the best way to go (with the update as well).

MSI Tv @nywhere, No Sound

Hi i recently bought an MSI TV@nywhere card, i have hooked the entire thing up, installed everything, yet when i go to watch TV, i dont get any sound, none at all.

MSI TV @nywhere A/D 1.1 - no digital TV (only analog)

Hi, I have the MSI TV @nywhere A/D 1.1 PCI card and cant get Digital TV to show up in the Hyper Media Center no matter what I try.
I've seen a few other threads of the same nature with no fix for this so please dont flame me for "not searching"...
My card is this one > http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1283&maincat_no=132&cat2_no=261
I've tried the latest drivers from the MSI website (from here > http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=1283) as well as the latest version of HMC but still no Digital TV in HMC - only analog. When I run HMC and do the setup wizard, it detects the card as analog TV only and doesnt give me any options for Digital TV viewing.
I even tried using the software for the previous TV @nywhere card and actually got Digital TV to show (allthough not that well) so I dont think its a fault on the card.
Can anyone help me get Digital TV running in HMC?
Thanks

i've got the same problem.
TV @nywhere A/D 1.1 PCI card that wont show Digital TV in Hyper Media Center Application. It shows analog TV but no Digital.
Did you get a solution for your card or is it a lemon?

MSI TV @nywhere Stopped Working

Ok, so I got my MSI TV @nywhere about a week and a half ago, great card. Nice quality etc. Now all of a sudden it doesn't work! It came with WinDVR, and now when I load it up I get an error when the TV should pop up (this program has encountered a problem and needs to close). So I reinstall it. Nothing. I Uninstall it, and clean the folder out then install. Nothing. I reinstall the driver for my card. Nothing. I remove everything from the card in the device manager, uninstall WinDVR completely, take the card out, boot up, then shut down and put the card back in and install everything again. Nothing. ARGH! I download the trial for Power VCR II or whatever just to see if it's WinDVR with the problem. But Power VCR can't detect any channels! It says MSI TV @nywhere as the TV Tuner (so it knows it's there). WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG!?!?!?
Please help!

I do beleive the MSIDVR is another re-badged InterVideo product from MSI... they are sooooo prone to this type of error it's not funny.....
In fact, I can almost bet you that if you get that message again and click the "more info" link you'll see the problem in the Windows "C" Library file called "MFC42.DLL".
I myself did have the exact same problem with WinCoder, another MSI released InterVideo product... and I received the same sort of strange result. I am led to believe that there is a major issue that combines a driver error and InterVideo's software.... I posted my "reply" to a previous article located at:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=2660&boardid=9&styleid=1
Too much to re-post, have a look.
