MSI vox usb2.0 framerate problem

Hi.
I'm having a problem with my external USB2.0 tuner box.
Right after i have installed the driver, it works nicely, and i get ~25fps on the tv (the CPU load is 40%), but when i do anything (like change the video input), the framerate goes down to ~12fps (and the CPUload down to 20%). Now the fps stays there, and its not nice to look at tv with 12fps. If i use the built-in video-recording function in InterVideo MSIPVS, and start recording, the framerate goes back up to 25 again!! But that's only while recording, cos when i stop recording, it drops down to 12.
What the heck?
Can someone help me?
System specs:
Compaq Presario R3000 notebook with AMD athlon xp mobile 2800+
ram: 256mb, graphics card: GeForce 4 420 Go, OS: Windows XP Home.

Does MSI VOX usb2.0 support a digital cable signal?

yah... thats about all i would like to know..
can msi vox handle a digital cable signal?
Thanks for any answers you can provide.

hi guys im chris from the uk anybody using the vox box can connect it to a freeview digital receiver and get great results
i have just done so,tho i know the hole idea was to use the unit for lap tops it works great via the digital box!! the only fault is the lip synk is very slightly out!! im set up on a standard home comp system with a 250 gb hd so i can record to hard drive obviously im connected via composite lead not via the co-ax im very impressed by the unit now,tho through the standard co ax the system was quite poor oh! one problem with recording i found was if you dont have enough hard drive space it will crash your system to the blue screen of death!! also the system drags a bit when using other applications when the unit is running!! my next project is to send the signal via a video sender wireless unit to my main tv ,will let u know how that goes
chris ps nice site stu thanx for all the usefull info ,not tried your update yet as the system is working fine,i guess im one of the lucky ones

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.

MSI VOX USB TV BOX problem!

i tried to use MSI vox usb tv box to my laptop (zt3340EA - Hewlet packart) i tried to install driver from CD but,installation fails and says : driver works only with SP1 (i m using SP2) i have downloaded newest driver from msi site ,still problem. Driver getting installed but my Laptop finds this as Uknown device,and MSIPVS says : no msi Device connected.
Is there any Driver for this device working on M$ windows Xp Sp2?
i have switched usb ports but device still unrecognized.
this device was working great on another pc (xp,sp1). Please Help me :(
Nikos.

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 Audio / Video Sinc problem

Hi All.
Last week i bought a VOX TV Tuner. Nice device works well except for what i want it for.
When I try to cpature at Full PAL DVD resolution I get audio / video sinc problems. The audio is usually ahead of the video. Half PAL DVD or below it's fine.
I suspect it is the basic design of the box that is the trouble. Having the audio feed to the sound card rather than than in the USB2 feed has been a no no ever since the problem was discovered back in the USB 1 days. USB2 is capable of 400Megbits..
However I contacted another user who has no problems and says there is a patch for Direct x PAL video capture. Does any one know of this patch or has any one had the same problem as I have??
This device seems so new that there is no info on the net about it..
TIA.
System : P4. 2.4 Gig, 512 Meg ram, fast HDs, Direct X 9.0 (have not installed 9.0b yet) Asus Mobo P4Pe. Matrox Mystique video card. Win 2K SP4

I would chase that up as it sounds promising.

MSI VOX Service Pack 2 Problem

It seems that the VOX driver does not like service pack 2, upon installation it says that the service pack is higher than the one supported and the product will not work properly. I was wondering if theres any way to get around this other than uninstalling service pack 2? Any response would be nice...!

seems i had to goto the msi website and redownload driver and reinstall it and it seemed to work fine after. having lots of problems with the remote though, on the short end it really sucks hard to press hard to get used to, sigh* but i guess nothing can really be done about that part =/. Eh, you get what you pay for right?

MSI VOX USB2.0

I have purchased this nifty little piece of equipment and really enjoying the picture etc from it. I have one question and it might take a while to explain it.
I can only view the channel that is currently on my television while using my Tuner Box, am i missing something? I know you can do the channel surfing etc i am wondering if someone can help me. I get an absolutely cracking picture from the box itself and i would like to now go on to learn how to use the Scheduling and surfing features to really start recording material.
I would be most grateful if someone could go through how they are setup i.e. in the Setup option from the panel, so i could maybe copy it to see if i could have any success.
Any help much appreciated, P.S. I am in the UK on PAL_B.

i downloaded the manual for the Vox before, and there wasn't much info with it. if there are no instructions for MSIPVS with your Vox, then i recommend you visit this link http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=460&kind=10 and download the TV@nywhere Master manual ("TV Series 4.0"), which contains full instructions for using MSIPVS

Reso probs with MSI VOX USB2.0 BOX

Well well...
Basicly my problem is that I cant record well with the vox box. I try to record my pc desktop with it thru a s-video cable but I cant change the resolution higher from 480*576 with the only propper Color format/compression YUY2. When i try to set a higher reso iuVCR gives the following error; Unable to set selected format! and other recording progs give a samekind error.
I've reinstalled the drivers over 20 times(latest version), tried different recording proggies and etc I have also tried it in my other computer but same prob.
I am also using the external powersupply which came with the vox to make sure its getting enough power...
Still I cant record with a decent resolution/quality...I'd appriciate any tips&tricks to make this work
PS. sorry for my poor english
/Thanks in advance

because your tuner is "software driven" and your computer is handling the encoding and rendering of the video output, and to do that it requires suitable codecs. if the software is trying to use an incompatible or corrupted codec, then you won't get any video output
unfortunately thats the only place to start. add them one by one, until you find out the one thats causing the problem. from my experience, too many codecs spoil the video viewing, K-Lite has pretty much all the codecs you'll ever need
Well that wasnt the problem I tried the capture on another computer that doesnt have any codec packs installed.
sjfm might be right...This doesnt appear to be a software problem...
Oh well I think I have to buy a new tv-card :/

MSI VOX USB2 TV card

I'm thinking of buying the above TV card, as my hauppage card keeps locking up on my KT4AV VIA Kt400A chipset motherboard.
Can someone tell me what the picture quality is like please. Do you think it is comparable to the Hauppage WinTV Go card?
Many thanks

It's strange that you are having problems with your USB TV Cards.
The only possiblilty I can think of is that there's an issue with
the USB port on the A60 series maybe it's unable to deliver the
required data rate.
I'm buying a CameraMate VideoSafe USB capture box this weekend I
hope it wont be suffering similar problems as it would probably
push my laptop to it's limit much like your USB TV cards.

VOX USB2.0 TV BOX Pixelated TV picture

I am runing Windows XP SP1A, Direct X9 ( not b yet) and VOX USB2.0 TV BOX .
Everything is fine EXCEPT the TV picture is very pixelated.
I have downloaded and installed all new drivers for Tv Tuner and graphics card etc.. but makes no difference.
I know it can be better than this because when I first installed it it was really good. Then I have had to reload the PC and since then a pixelated TV image.
Any helpful suggestions very much appreciated.

Everything is fine with my card as well except that the framerate drops down to 12FPS after the first run. (The first time after i install the drivers i get 24FPS)

VOX USB2.0 has no TV picture on Radeon 9100

Expecting that MSI VOX USB2.0 TV tuner will be great solution for me (easy to exchange between PC and notebook) I was surprised founding that it can't work on my PC with on-board Radeon 9100 graphics (9100 IGP chipset on Asus P4R800-VM motherboard). MSIPVS gets available channels regularly but there is no picture, some time I got some audio and that is all. Noting can solve my problem; I have replaced all the drivers (Vox and Ati) with latest but without results.
Please help. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cvijetic

I gave up on the Vox and decided to buy a Hauppauge PVR-350 instead. Unfortunately the PVR-350 also has some flaws (looks like many boards have a design-flaw that gives crappy sound and picturesound latency). After reading on a Hauppauge-forum that I was not the only one I returned the board and got a Hauppauge PVR-250 instead, which reportedly works much better. I can confirm that it did :-)
I now use it for all my tv watching and recording, and since it's even supported by MythTV I'm going to use this card for my homebuildt PVR.

Vox USB2.0 TV-tuner: bad picture, no sound, external power needed?

Product: MSI Vox USB2.0 TV-tuner
Part No: G52-V2TVX04
Bought: http://www.komplett.no
Location: Oslo, Norway (PAL TV-system)
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad T40 (laptop)
Software: Windows XP Pro
Problem description:
The picture has weird (almost pulsating) colors, and there is no sound. Does not help if I change the PAL-standard to something else. I want to see if it helps with an power adapter but I need to know the voltage required.

[Vox] MSI VOX TV BOX USB 2.0 problem with audio drivers compatibility

Ok,let's go...
I have a DELL Latitude d510 laptop with a centrino 1.73 GHz procesor and a soundcard supported by Sigmatel software Sigmatel C-Major audio.I bought MSI VOX TV BOX USB 2.0 and tried to install it on my lap top.Yes,I had problems with SP2 on my XP and the MSIVPS software from the instalation CD was crashing every time I tried to start it,but I solved those problems by downloading the latest drivers and the 3.xx version of MSIPVS.But...I still have a problem with audio.To be precise it seems that my audio drivers are incompatible with the VOX drivers.So now I have video but I don't have audio.Also I installed the tv card on my desktop machine and it worked like a charm(everything workes:audio,video,the old MSIPVS which I like better than the new one cause it supports my remote,has better way of managing scanned channels,e.t.c ,but I have USB 1.1 on my MB so the image quality is very poor).I did a lot of experimenting,for example i uninstaled my audio drivers(that Sigmatel C-Major thing),and installed the old MSIVPS and guess what...IT WORKED but there is no use from this cause I don't have audio On the other hand if I have everything installed then in the MSIVPS (the 3.xx version not the old one) under audio I get CD Player as an input audio device(what happened with microphone...?).To cut the long story short I tried a bunch of things and still no audio.Is there any other case of DELL audio software-VOX incompatibility?Any ideas,or solutions?

thank you for answering me. y have no pci card working, only usb 2.0 and sata devices. also, the MSI geforce 9600gt PExp 2.0 gpu. the only usb 2.0 devices which work, are the flash (pen) drives, keyboard and mouse. but no way that the WLAn adapter and TVcapture, both usb 2.0 work.i've tested them front side and rear side and is the same failure: if i use a pendrive, works ok. if i insert the wlan or the tv capture stop work as the 2.0 and a advertising window tell me to change to a 2.0 port, means the ports are working slower, at 1.1. i still have the other PC, built on the MSI K9N4-slif mobo, tested them and both devices work at perfection. i have 2 screenshots to show you:
this, is the device manager (sorry, in spanish but you understand that's about the nVIDIA EHCI USB 2.0 controller. the 2nd one seems to be more sensitive (works worth) then the first one. when the tvcapture begin work, then fails, i'm trying to update this controller, does it ok but then the devicemanager-window freeze. i must stroke the "enter" key to "accept" / finish the update. then, fails again:
the other one is from everest corporate edition:
both drivers marked with purple colour!
i think i should update this Win XP drivers, but how? the usbport.inf file (C:\Windows\inf) don't change anything. i don't want to switch xp to vista, i'm happy whit it.
i'm thinking also on another possibility: could be an energy failure? some usb devices, like the big usb flash dives. 250-320gb, fail because the 5v/usb are receiving it's not enough. could be, but that means this mobo has no solution and i'll loose my money.
thank you very much and i'll stay alert of your suggestions. by

Msi vox usb 2.0 remote/sound problems

please help! i just purchased a new MSI VOX USB 2.0 external tv tuner and i'm having lots of problems...
1. the dial on the side of the box that is supposed to turn the tuner on/off or change channels doesn't do a thing.
2. the remote doesn't work at all
3. sound - i'm using this on a notebook computer and i don't have a line in port. i assume i would be able to just go through the microphone port but it is not so. in the options under properties>device, i can only choose the audio input source to line in (which i don't have) or cd audio (?). it doesn't even work if i set my computer recording settings to 'microphone'... even though i CAN record the microphone input in a sound recording program, i can't hear in in real-time... right now the only way i can hear the TV is to connect the audio cable through my desktop's line in! i can't even hook my speakers directly into the box because the pin hole is too small to fit a normal audio jack...
is my only solution to buy some sort of audio pin converter so i can hook my speakers/headphones directly into the box??
i've downloaded the newest drivers and they don't help at all with any of my problems.
i'm using a notebook computer with windows xp...
please help! thanks very very much!!

I had/have the same problem, with a Dell Laptop running windows XP.
my first solution was to buy a male-male audio connector and hook it directly to my speakers, but having to switch from that and my computer wasn't much fun, I found another work around.
I bought snapstream's beyond TV, and everything has worked well, and I like the snapstream software better than the default software, anyway. The only problem is that you can't use the composite or S-video inputs, as far as I can tell. (and having to spend $50 on another piece of software, but use the trial version first to make sure it works)
