MSI TV Tuner Master 8606 WDM 2.79.1.65
hello
please driver MSI TV Tuner Master 8606 WDM 2.79.1.65 for windose 7 64bit
please
i can not find for win 7
Support for this card ended before even Vista was released.
Sorry, but if Windows 7 does not already have the required drivers, then you'll have to just buy a more modern TV card that does.
Try and see if you can get hold of a TV@nywhere Plus card instead.

More pgms working with MSI TV-tuner card(s)
There is a couple more programs I found that work fairly nice with the older MSI TV-tuner card and the newer Master TV-tuner card. They are: Intervideo WINDVD Creator and Intervideo Home Theater. Both have free 30 trial dowloads at http://www.intervideo.com. If I use these two softwares and Ulead Video Studio 7, I can pretty much accomplish every thing I could ever ask for with my MSI TV-tuner card. I just wish all the features were consolidated into one software.
Sure, here is my hardware specs:
CPU #1
Asus a7n8x 2.5GHZ with 512MG 400HZ mem
MSI TV-tuner (master)
Windows XP
CPU #2
Asus a7v 1.4GHZ with 650MG mem
MSI TV-tuner (older)
Windows XP
Note: I don't use the tuner and scheduler since I use S-video inputs from my Timewarner Pioneer HTDV setbox. I did, for fun hook up a coax to my MSI TV-tuner card and scanned for ports using these newer softwares from Intervideo, but they did not correctly scan the digital and HDTV channels and only scanned the old analog channels. I tried for fun to schedule some analog channels for record, but it did not work properly for me. This is not a big deal to me since, the tuner and scheduler is not something that interest me, like most folks. And since, I don't use the tuner and scheduler features, I immediately de-installed MSIPVS from both systems since the Intervideo products, especially the WINDVD creator does a much finer job then the old MSIPVS software that MSI keeps bundling with their TV-tuner card. Also, I thought it was cool that the Intervideo WINDVD product allows a person to create huge jpg/gif/bmp slide shows on a DVD without the limitations (total 1900 or something close to this) on VCD's. But, you have to create them using the mpeg2 format, by cliicking on the icon toward bottom and then using the author to create the vobs, etc from the mpeg2's. Anyways, all other softwares, I have tried for this crapped out big time. Sorry, I can't help the tuner/remote probs, but I think conio and some others have a better handle on it then me. -
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

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
([email protected])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. -
Hello. I own a 865 PRO and this MSI tv-tuner http://www.compbyte.de/images/big/barebone_tvtuner.jpg which I havent really had time to care about, but now I want to get it started and connect it so I got a few questions.
1. Are they even compatible? Because I have problems getting sound from the tuner... I have connected the internal Yellow cable from the tuner to the inside of my 865 PRO. Is that enough? In the manual it say something about a remote cable connector but I cant seem to locate this inside my barebone.
2. Where can I find drivers online for that tv-tuner?
3. Does the tuner work in other pc's and not only in MSI's barebones?
4. Any drivers that work with Windows Media Center?
Thanks in advance for anyone that would like to answeQuote
I have connected the internal Yellow cable from the tuner to the inside of my 865 PRO.
which connector did you connect it to inside the 865PRO?
Quote
2. Where can I find drivers online for that tv-tuner?
you should be able to use the drivers for the TV@nywhere Master, it is basically the same card, but without the FM radio chipset
Quote
3. Does the tuner work in other pc's and not only in MSI's barebones?
as per 2., i can't see why not

4. Any drivers that work with Windows Media Center?
short answer, no. -
I decided for grins to connect my Pioneer Voyager HDTV box from Timewarner Cable TV (AOL) into my MSI TV tuner card to see what kinda picture I would recieve. Well, first I should say I am only allowed to use S-video and not the HDTV component cables (3), but it works. Timewarner at this time only offers 10 HDTV channels and rest or either digital (DVD quality) or analog. Some of the HDTV channels do not completely fill the screen and I have to adjust my screen to fit, but this is not to much effort. Some HDTV channels fit the screen but are in wide screen only and not full screen, but this was still pretty cool. I watched some of the wimbleton tennis in HDTV on my computer (awesome picture quality)
I am guessing that when HDTV becomes more popular and prices drop, that perhaps MSI might consider building a TV tuner card with HDTV outputs??I have been seeing some amazing video using my msi TV-Tuner card (older card) and HDTV S-video inputs from my digital HDTV cable box. I understand what SteveK is saying about how S-video is not capable of displaying 1080i, but dang it looks awesome using dscaler. I did some searching and this guys says:
A better solution is S-video. Almost all players have s-video output. S-video looks much better than composite video, and only slightly inferior to component video. Hook an s-video cable from the player to the display (or to an A/V receiver that can switch s-video). The round, 4-pin connectors may be labelled Y/C, s-video, or S-VHS.
Link found here: http://www.home-theater-faq.com/whats_the_difference_between_composite_s-video_component_and_rgb_video.htm
Anyway I found some similar links that said about the same. In any case, if anyone wants to play with the HDTV viewing using dscaler and an HDTV s-video connection, it might be of interest. -
MSI TV Tuner card (stereo) workaround
HI,
If you live in the US and own the MSI TV tuner card then you know it does not provide Stereo sound. If you have a digital cable box from your cable tv provider you can recieve stereo sound while viewing and recording when using the MSI TV Tuner card, by doing the following:
1. do not use the patch cable for audio from your MSI TV tuner card to your audio sound card.
2. connect the audio from your digital cable box to your audio sound card. My audio sound card is an audigy card. You may have to spend a couple bucks at FRY's or Best Buy to get any small cable connectors (stereo din connector==>RCA and so forth). Just look at your box and you should be able to figure out what you need.
3. Ofcourse, you will be using the remote for your digital box and leaving the MSI tuner card on channel 3.
But, I have been doing this all the time anyway
4. Connect either the composite or s-video cable (not coax) from your MSI TV-tuner card to your digital cable box. Best to use s-video is possible.

I can bypass the card as well and put a tv and vcr beside my pc (lol).
What we really need is new driver so the card can work better at least with mono sound!
Good point! We can always buy a TV and a capture card. But that's not the product we need!
Why still there are no new drivers or software? Other companies already had their drivers signed by MS WHQL... And what happens here? Nothing! Almost every week I check for new drivers. Even the guys from DScaler have created better support for this card?!? And they don't get paid for that! What's wrong with MSI? Is this card doomed or something? Why should I trust MSI and buy another product of theirs? This just sucks.
?( BTW Have anyone experienced a lack of any sound on several channels in the frequency range between 160 MHz and 210 MHz?
Usually I recommend this card to anyone for its really good picture quality. But how can I explain to them it can't decode sound on the major TV programs in my country (in that specific freq. range).
I have much to say about this card (I have it for more than a half year) but I feel it would be never heard never discussed never answered as my e-mails to MSI.
I'm using a card with CX23881 chip in Bulgaria.
Thank you.

MSI Tv @nywhere Master (MS-8606) Little Problem w/Video
hmm ive notice somthing wrong with my Video... i took two screen shots to show
http://yuz.p5.org.uk/video01.jpg
if anyone knows the cause or a fix please tell me
Best Regards
YuzPatience Yuz this forum has no input from MSI so you have to wait until someone, somewhere else in the world is awake.
Regards to MSIPVS yes it is awful and there has been quite some discussion within this section of the forum and the survey section as to the problems with this software. It is not only MSIPVS that is at fault the drivers also need some work. On some PC`s MSIPVS causes crashes but by far the biggest complaint is the poor display. Also MSIPVS or the card/drivers not sure which, will not remember it`s locale, every time it is started it will go back to the default in my case it seams to be PAL_B and some times to NTSC my locale is the UK and the TV setting should be PAL_I but getting to stay on PAL_I is a big problem. It makes it hard to schedule a recording as it will probably start in the wrong format. I agrre with you that feeware software is better than MSIPVS.
Thanks to your previous post I can confirm that you have sorted the remote`s missing functions.
Now all we need to get the drivers and MSIPVS sorted. -
It seems as if MSI has or is about to launch some new TV tuner cards.
The TV@nywhere Plus (pictured left) looks like a new analogue TV tuner, possibly to replace the TV@nywhere Master card. It looks to use a new broadcast decoder chip, and includes new features such as auto-scan and naming of channels, and crucially the ability to power on your PC in order to commence a scheduled recording (as with the Compro Videomate card)
The Digital@nywhere (pictured centre) looks like the daddy. It is a Digital DVB-T card, which receives digital terrestrial TV signals through an ordinary aerial (like the Nova-T and Black Gold cards). There is no mention on this page, but I guess MSI would have been foolish not to make this product WinXP MCE compatible.
The Theater 550PRO (pictured right) is a high quality analogue TV tuner, with hardware MPEG encoder, allowing for DVD quality TV recordings. It is based on the ATI Theater 550PRO chipset, is bundled with CyberLink's PowerCinema software (yay no more shoddy Intervideo software!) and is also listed as being compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition.
If anyone has seen these cards in action, or is lucky enough to own one, please add your comments here!!well, I just bought an Asus, TV/FM card for my computer (the MSI anywhere plus one came out shortly after that), and gone through semi ton research. Basicaly the Theaterpro 550 are not just made by MSI, by also by Sapphire and Power Color as well (all came from ATI?), some ppl say the software (cyber one) is problematic, but several review I read says that it's all pretty good, if your installation and problem is not a problem, then you are most likely bug free. At, first I bought an Leadtek one (which in my opinion is better in term of software and hardware compare to the asus card I have) but unfortuntely, the card's FM fucntion is a bit buggy. Though Asus card's software function is not as versatile as the Leadtek (the close caption don't work in Canada only in US) but it's really good and stable enough for avg user who want to listen radio and watch TV on comp, and the remote that came with it is pretty nifty too (when I try it, the volume func won't work, it turns out that my Microsoft kyboard funct is blocking some commands) In terms of price range and spec, I think the MSI anywhere plus and Asus TV/FM card 7135 is nearly identical, the only expection is that MSI is 10 dollars cheaper, plus their remote is connected to card itself instead of using a USB slot from your comp. One of the obvious problem I know with TheaterPro550 type is that the box on the card heats up quickly and to quite a high temp as well, so good circulation in case is quite important (same with my Leadtek card). Those are the little nitpic I gathered during my search for TV/FM card, so some info could be false, so it's best to do your own research when purchase a card for yourself.

how do i get the sound to work? I put it in the audio in, the setting was set to audio in.... still no sound. So what do I have to do to get sound? I got a ps2 and i wnat to play it using tv tuner.
ok, here is what i did, with your card, you should have gotten a cable that looks like two headphone plugs. what i did is used that plug to put in the audio-out jack of the tv tuner and plug the other end of it into the line-in jack on my sound card. Since I have an AV plug for my PS2, i had to use an adapter to connect the sound with the AV cables (dunno where you would get something like that, i got it with my logitech surround system.) Try that to see if your sound works.

MSI TV-Tuner (MS8606) & MEGA PC
Hi,
A month ago I bought my MEGA651 with all availiable options, so that includes a TV-tuner (the box says it's specially made for MEGA PC Barebones). When I installed that one, my PC didn't start. It did however start when I lifted the card just a littlebit out of the PCI slot. But then in windows, it didn't work correct. So I send it back and I got a new one.
Now I have installed a new one, but when I power on my PC, all I hear is a long "BEEP" (about 5 sec.) Then a pause, and again a 5 sec. beep. So my MEGA PC doesn't start.. again.
What could be the problem?? It isn't my PCI-bus, because other cards DO work!
Thanks!I just recieved the Mega 651 and put in the Intel 4 processor that the dealer said would work (Intel Pentium 4 Socket 478 FC-PGA2 512K and 533MHz Front Side Bus speed 2.28GHz) Installed a single strip of RAM called "Ram on Third" that dealer siad would work (DDR333 PC2700 64X64/32X8 333MHz 184 pin Unbuffer Memory 512MB) and all I get is a long beep. I would really like to know what is wrong ?????

Can't use the remote control while running tv tuner. It has never worked since installed. tv tuner works fine using the keyboard.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.About ten years ago, when Macs with the optional Apple TV/Video System were relatively new, some users reported that their computers were being turned ON/OFF by their Sony remote control. Because Sony is primarily a manufacturer and not just a distributor selling outsourced electronic products, it continued to use the same IR frequencies for many product models. This is why you usually see fewer Sony codes to try, when programming a universal remote control. Anyway, that's what I'd recommend, starting with the oldest Sony codes first. I don't know if all remote control functions will be activated, but it's worth a try.

Support For MSI-9130 "K8T Master Series"
When are MSI going to pull there finger out and release a new bios,
Last BIOS out was a Beta release. 2004/06/01. version 1.35
Come on MSI get your act into gear.Quote from: Bas on 17-May-05, 22:03:37
Do not try one of the 1.4x BIOS'ses!!!!
They will render the board dead....I have tested several of those...
Also, don't forget these are server/workstation boards, they don't get new BIOS'ses that often.
Why do you want a new BIOS anyway?????
I'm still running 1.10 and 1.20 here, they work just fine.
Bas -- thanks for the clarifying information. That must be why the system will not post at all, anymore. I guess my next step is to try to convince MSI to send me a ROM flashed with the 1.3 or earlier version of the BIOS -- which could be interesting since they are the ones who emailed me the 1.45 BIOS that killed the system..... -
Msi 550pro tuner NTSC and Pal or only NTSC
I've read at a lot of places that say the card supports both NTSC and PAL such as www.tigerdirect.com and www.zipzoomfly.com where I bought the card and also www.msi.com. but on www.msi.com.tw (global site), it claims the card supports only NTSC not pal. I already bought the card and I was wondering if i should return it. Can someone please tell me if the 550pro supports both NTSC and PAL or just NTSC, Thank you!
you've got the card, have you tried it yet?
you already asked this once in another thread, if no-one has an answer, then try speaking to MSI direct
