Problems w/ TV Tuner Card and Media Center

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem:
I just installed the FX5200 TDR-128, with the TV@nywhere card, and the Media Center Deluxe II. I can't get the tv stations to work in MCD II. It works great with MSI PVS software that came with the TV Tuner card. When I go into the "Watch TV" menu of MCD II, it brings up the tv screen but it is all garbled or sometimes a blue screen. I changed all the settings to the appropriate formats and it even has the channels that were scanned in the MSIPVS program. Does anyone know what is causing the channels to not work in the Media Center Deluxe II? Also there is a switch on the VIVO connector that has two settings "Safe" and "Work" what does this switch do? I can't find anything on it in the manual that came with the video card.
P.S. The remote works great.
Motherboard:KT4V-L
CPU: AthlonXP 2400+
RAM: 512Meg DDR400
Video: FX5200 TDR-128
OS: WinXP

Check out the new release 3 upgrade here
It has solved almost all the problems described here. Just came out today too.

Low DVD and Media Center TV Vol

I am having a volume problem with DVD movies and Media Center, particularly TV. Sound quality and volume in other applications is great, but if I try to watch TV or a DVD at the same settings I can barely hear the audio.
I have a new Dell XPS 400, running Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and Dell 5250 5. surround speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should also look through the TV@nywhere forum, applies to all MSI TV Tuners
i think the first thing you should do is update your TV tuner drivers...

My daughter added songs with her I Tunes Card and My credit card was charged, what do I do?

My daughter added songs with her I tunes card and my credit card was charged, how do I get it off my credit card?

What process did your daughter use, there is a specific format to redeem an iTunes gift card. The gift card must be redeemed using the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store in iTunes on a computer or the Redeem button at the bottom of both the iTunes and App Store apps in iOS. Redeeming the gift card then applies the value of the card as an available credit to the user's iTunes account. The credit is used first before any bank card also stored in the account. If the purchases use the entire credit and there is an additional balance due, it will be charged to any bank card stored in the account.

I've recently purchased 2 x i-Tunes Cards and they won't redeem

Hi
I've recently purchased 2 x i-Tunes Cards and they won't redeem on i-tunes. I keep getting the message 'Your session has timed out. Try again.' - for each card.
I did do, repeatedly, even after re-booting. I still received the same message. I purchased both cards on 7 Sep 2012 and tried redeeming them today (25 Sep 2012). Help! I'm £30 out of pocket!
I currently run a PowerPC G5 Mac, with OSX 10.4.11. I've just downloaded some music perfectly well 5 minutes ago, but these 2 cards won't redeem. Help!

You would need to contact apple support about this. I had a card that wouldnt work properly (turns out I couldnt read the code because i scratched off the bottom on an R and it looked like a P to me!). They will be able to sort you out on the phone or email.

MEGA MPC 800k and Media Center problems

Just upgraded to the MSI MEGA 800k replacing the noisy old bax I was usung for my Media Center PC.
Currently having a TV recording issue. the system performs perfectly well recording if left alone, and you can watch the program being recorded without any problems either. However if the live TV is paused or I watch another program whilst recording the recording develops a stutter that makes it unwatchable.
After trying many fixes suggested by Media center forums, I think I've narrowd it down to one of 2 issues.
Either the HDD cannot handle all the the simultanious reading and writing required. (Seems unlikely as the system could manage it and the only difference was a seperate HDD for the OS)
Or its a conflict between the AGP graphics and the PCI TV tunner. Both are set to IRQ 15, which while this presents no conflict to be reported in windows I suspect that having to share the IRQ is causing the two cards to interupt each other and cause a stutter on the recording.
Is there any way to change the IRQ assigned through windows XP?
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Neil

Using an ATI Radeon 9550, latest MCE drivers.
After switching to a SATA drive and creating seperate partitions I have reduced the problem to a point where it only stutters occasionally. But I would love to be able to change either the PCI or AGP IRQ allocation to see if this eliminates the problem. Any ideas?

TV TUNER CARD AND SATELLITE TV

I have a new Pavilion dv6t 1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook with a built-in TV tuner card. I receive my TV signal via DISH Network satellite TV. I have a HD DVR receiver downstairs that hooks up to the main TV with an HDMI cord. All the other TVs hook up via the co-ax cable running through the walls. I am trying to hook up this laptop computer to one of the wall jacks upstairs. I ran a co-ax cable from the wall to a little adapter and then into a tiny input hole in my laptop. I then clicked on the MediaSmart icon on my computer's desktop and went through the setup. None of the sources really apply but according to my device manager, they sold me an ANALOG TV Tuner. I tried to set it up using the analog antenna setting but do not get any picture or sound even on channel 60 (where I get my DISH Network programming). My question is how do I set it up to work now, and what should I do next month when all analog signals stop? I can't believe they would sell me an analog card!!! Thanks for any help you can give me.

I JUST BOUGHT A NEW MEDIA CENTER (M9500T) AND I WAS GOING CRAZY TRYING TO GET MY TV SIGNAL. I WAS ON THE PHONE HOURS AND HOURS TALKING AND FINALLY I SAID LOOK I BOUGHT THIS PC FOR THE MEDIA CENTER AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET IT RIGHT. HP WAS SAYING CALL DISH AND DISH WAS SAYING THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO THAT I NEEDED TO CALL HP. I HAD THE 3YEAR WARRANTY WITH INHOME SERVICE. FINALLY THEY SENT SOMEONE TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THAT I HAD AN ANALOG RECEIVER AND SENT ME ANOTHER ONE BUT WHEN THE GUY CAME TO PUT IT IN THE ONE I HAD WAS DIGITAL AND ANALOG. MY DISH GUY HAD IT SET TO PLAY ON CHANNEL 60 WHICH WORKED FINE ON MY OLD MEDIA CENTER (M1280N) BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK ON THIS ONE. HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS RECEIVING ON ANTENNA BUT THE REPAIR MAN CHANGED MY CHANNEL TO 73 AND DIGITAL ON MY DISH AND IT WORKS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE TO SET MY SHOWS TO RECORD MANUALLY AND IT HAS TO BE PLAYING ON 73. WHEN I SET IT UP TO RECORD ON DISH WHEN IT COMES UP TO CREATE TIMER GO TO THE FIRST LINE THAT SAYS THREE THINGS. (I AM AT WORK AND I CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT THE MIDDLE ONE SAYS BUT THAT IS THE ONE YOU USE. THE FIRST THING IS DVD AND THE LAST IS REMINDER. THE MIDDLE ONE WILL CHANGE THE CHANNEL TO WHAT YOU HAVE SET UP TO RECORD ON THE DISH AND THEN IT WILL RECORD ON YOUR COMPUTER. I HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP YOU SOME BECAUSE IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. DISH NETWORK OR EITHER HP NEEDS TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED SO THAT YOU CAN USE YOUR MEDIA CENTER LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO. I CANNOT GET CABLE OR I WOULD CHANGE OVER BECAUSE IT WORKS GREAT WITH IT.

Tv tuner cards and satellite dishes

How can I use the FM tuner in Windows Media Center?

Hi everyone.
New to the threads.
Found this site while looking for answers to a problem I'm having. ?:|
I received my Toshiba Satellite computer as a Christmas gift. I noticed it has a cool FM tuner feature.
I also have been playing around with Windows Media Center.
However, I cannot figure out how to operate the FM tuner inside WMC....?
I added the NXP FM tuner program to the "extras" on WMC, but instead of opening up the tuner inside WMC it just opens the separate program.
Does anyone know how I can use the FM tuner (or a different one perhaps?) inside WMC?
Thank you! :)

Hello
I don't have any experience with this because my Satellite doesnt have FM Tuner but nice discussion about it you can find under
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=138027
If you will find final solution it will be nice if you can describe own experience with it. It can be useful for other people here.
Bye and good luck!

Mega 180 and Media Center III----looks perfect----is it??

I DON'T want to shell out $1000 for cheap HP/Compaq or whatever which includes Media Center Edition
But I DO like the look and features of Microsoft's Media Center Edition.
In the Manual for the MEGA 180-----Media Center III looks perfect for what I want.
Am thinking of a Mega 180 using onboard video, the MSI TV/Tuner Card, onboard SoundStorm---and a cheap Barton. I already have 2 x 512 of NVidia recommended PC2700 RAM for use with the onboard and almost all other parts----but by the time I'm done----I'd be shelling out around $400
The manual makes everything look good "on paper"----but I see from this forum their are "issues".
Did/does MSI support the 651 model well?? Bios updates----utility and driver updates??
This thing looks like a tremendous alternative to a Microsoft Media Center Edition overpriced machine. And I'm willing to do driver updates and Bios updates----heck, I love a challenge----I just don't like a product that lies about what it can really do.
Worth it----or should I pass.....
Thanks-----John

That may not be it----it may just be a TV setting----but it's the only thing I can think if.
Good Luck,

I believe that function is only for viewing the videos from the preview window to fullscreen. I don't think it enables/disables "stretch mode" but i'll try that tonight.
if it works i'll post it here. if not ... well .... same thing i guess

FIOS and Media Center

My Media Center PC has lost the TV signal, and will not configure. TV tuner card supports digital tv, card is working, and replaced the cable, but still no signal. Verizon support wasn't terribly helpful - any ideas? Could the switch to all digital last month now require a converter/set top box, even though the tuner card says it supports digital?

The over-the-air FCC shut-off boxes receive 8-VSB DTV and convert it to NTSC. FiOS boxesreceive 256-QAM DTV and convert it to NTSC. They are absolutely NOT the same. On the bright side, up to three are free from Verizon, AND they receive any SD signal you are subscribed to on your regular STB, not just the Off-Airs and PEGs. It is a GREAT deal. Get some before they start charging. I think they will just send them to you if you ask.
