Record settings -TV@nywhere master

I am trying to bring some of my home videos into my PC from VHS on s-video.  I tried recording them in at "best" but every 6 seconds or so, there is a little glitch.  Usually the video kind of holds or hangs before continuing on.  I do not notice anything with the sound.  I tried increasing the bit rate, but found that only caused the glitches to occur more frequently.
What has anyone done to be successful at recording from a VCR?

Sadly I do not have a solution for your particular problem, but I am also having problems recording from VHS to the PC.  My problem is that I can only get a black and white image, whereas I can get a colour image from the TV setup.  The recording holds and indeed I have managed to record for over 70 minutes with no problem.  Black and White films are fine!!  Are you managing to record in colour?  I am using a VCR with a scart adaptor and S-Video and audio leads.  I wonder if the fault is with the S-Video lead?
Any advice from anyone very welcome?

  • TV@nywhere Master Recording Problems

    The TV@nywhere Master works fine for viewing, but I can't record without problems.  There is a sound problem with all available versions of WinDVR.  The recorded sound regularly "warbles" or pulsates. It is detectable when a musical tone is playing, otherwise it may be hard to hear. It is very annoying once you pick up on it.  Other interVideo programs WinProducer and WinDVD Recorder exhibit the same problem.
    I tried PowerVCR and I get an error message when attempting to record in MPEG2:
    S0009 : Unable to render preview video stream.
    I have all the latest drivers and software versions. I even tried a clean install of Windows several times and a different sound card, but no luck. I'm getting nowhere with tech support. Very frustrating.

    Have tried changing most of these settings but always get error message, unless I use MPEG1 which is not acceptable quality.

  • Media Center Deluxe II w/Tv@nywhere Master (settings not saving)

    Hi!
    I have a MSI FX5600 VTDR128 and a Tv@nywhere Master running on Win XP (original version - only applied a USB 2.0 patch). Everything works great after I installed all drivers, software, and updates.
    However, I have one anoying problem. When I use Media Center Deluxe II (MCD2) and choose to watch TV, the TV capture device is set by default to the nVidia WDM driver NOT my Conexant device. So, I change the setting in Setup and go through the settings. Then viola! I have beautiful TV on PC in MCD2. But when I close MCD2 and reopen it, my TV Capture device setting resets to the nVidia WDM capture driver.
    It is annoying when I just want to hit "Power" on the remote and watch TV. Instead each time I have to change my setting to the correct Capture device.
    I have begun looking at config files and registry settings, but to date, have not found a fix or work around.
    Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.
    I have installed all of the patches from the MSI site, (except for the nVidia driver 44.xx version - I am running 43.xx).
    Thanks!!

  • TV@nywhere Master Plus AVI recording

    Anyone tried recording AVI (with Huffyuv codec for example) with the new TV@nywhere Master Plus?
    I'm only interested in recording in "raw" AVI since I want the best quality and editing possibilities.
    Since my TV@nywhere Master crashed I want to have another one and the follower seems to be what I want.
    I bought a Hauppauge Win TV PCI but it's not as sharp as the MSI card was, though the material sharps up nice in VirtualDub during post-processing with it's filters.
    Also the colors are a little bit dampened in comparison to the bright colors that the MSI card delivered, and this is probably also why the Hauppauge feels a little bit more natural in that area.
    But most of all I miss the sharpness the MSI card delivered.

  • 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

  • TV@nyWhere Master Audio

    Hi,
    When I switched to DP35 Intel mother board the installation of tv@nywhere master card seemed to be successful, but when I tuned the tv channel I could find video signal only NO Sound at all. All drivers are NEW, MSI PVS was installed prior to Card installation as advised by MSI team. I also uninstalled the Codecs, but still no Audio.
    Secondly PVS3 programme shows Audio Source " CD Player" while I'm using "Line In" of Mother Board. There is no other option available for Audio Input. System DP35 Intel with 2.66 Mhz processor, MSI 8600 GTS Diamond Plus, Modem and TV@nywhere Master Capture Card. Xp professional with SP2.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Bye
    Ork

    does your motherboard have an audio input connector (similar to that found on optical drives)?
    As I advise in my lengthy sticky topic, you should connect a cd audio lead from the tv card to the audio in connector, if there is one
    Also, check in Windows Volume control, and under Recording settings, make sure the Line In control is ticked

  • Equipment master record updation in Asset master record

    Dear Friends,
    I have a query with regard to Equipment master record updation in asset master record. Here we have created equipment in Plant maintenance module and we have created asset in AS01 tcode. When we give the asset number to PM module guys, they can easily update the asset number in their equipment master by changing the equipment master record.
    But when we enter the same in asset master record in 3rd tab allocations tab, initially it is accepting the equipment details like equipment number, category, object and tech description, but the same is not available after saving.
    Please let me know whether I have to do any customization in asset settings inorder to get the equipment number populated in asset master record.
    Thanks,
    Dwarak.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    I did both these customization, but still it is not working. Any other customization to be done? Please let me know.
    And also in asset master record in allocations tab, do we need to select sync and workflow checkbox?
    Thanks
    Dwarak.

  • TV@nywhere Master

    During startup static starts coming from TV@nywhere Master sounding like radio off station). After Win2k has finished loading, I can start either MSI Radio or MSIPVS and it will stop. The radio will also come on sounding normal (on previous station) after coming out of standby.
    Attempts to correct this problem:
    Uninstall / Reinstalled software several times
    Downloaded new drivers, MSI Radio, MSIPVS from MSI Website and installed
    Removed card and installed in different pci slot
    About a month ago, I installed larger hdd (160gb) along with a fresh install
    of Win 2k Pro sp4. I still have the same problem with this card.
    Any help or solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Romulus' recommendation is effective in a very specific situation. That situation being, that the soundcard/chip mixer setting for the TV card audio source is in fact in a muted state at system boot.
    To clarify for any members that may look at this as a solution for similar problem, I will try to explain the relationship between the TV and soundcard/chip settings and the TV @nywhere Master programs. This explanation is based on tests I have done with Win XP SP1 and a Creative Audigy 2 soundcard. The test results may be different for other configurations. In my discussion I will refer to a soundcard but the discussion should also be relevant for a motherboard sound chip.
    The TV @nywhere Master card has two audio out options. An external adapter for your soundcard external Line-In and an internal adapter, typically for the soundcard internal Aux-In. Whether or not the electrical characteristics of the TV card internal audio out is such that it can be used with an alternate soundcard audio-in such as the TAD input, was not tested.
    The desirable connection between the TV card and the soundcard, is the internal one. This frees the soundcard Line-in for other use, and based on personal experience, the internal connection is less prone to picking up extraneous electrical noise (just my observation, I have no explanation).
    There are actually two audio muting actions that take place in this configuration. If MSI Radio or MSIPVS are started and stopped normally, a command is issued to the tuner card (not the audio card mixer) to unmute/mute the radio or tv tuner audio. In this discussion I will refer to this as the tuner card mute/unmute. Subsequently, the soundcard mixer may receive an unmute/mute, depending on which program is being started/stopped. I will refer to this as the soundcard mute/unmute.
    So here is where we run into a few of dilemas. First, the soundcard mute/unmute:
    1. MSI Radio has no configuration settings to identify the TV card audio source. It assumes that the audio connection is through the soundcard external Line-in. Therefore any program manipulation of the soundcard mute/unmute is to the Line-in. You are out of luck if you connected TV card to soundcard Aux-in; you will have to manually unmute/mute that sound source.
    2. MSI Radio takes a snapshot of the soundcard mixer CD, Line-in, Mic, and Aux mute/unmute states and restores ALL of them after a normal program exit. That means that if Line-in was already unmuted at program start, it will remain unmuted at program exit. Same with Aux-in.
    3. MSI PVS has configuration settings to identify the TV card audio source, unfortunately, it does not (in my setup anyway) recognize the Aux-in source. Again, you are out of luck if you connected TV card to soundcard Aux-in. (MSI has not provided me with an explanation why the Aux-in of the Creative Audigy 2 is not recognized by MSI PVS. Other programs do not have the same problem.)
    4. MSI PVS will unmute the TV card audio source identified in its configuration at the start of the program, but does not mute it on exit.
    5. At system start, the Creative soundcard sets the audio source mute/unmute states to the what they were last before system shutdown. What this means is that whatever the state of mixer mute/unmute is as a result of points 1-4, that is what the state will be when Windows starts. (The exception being the Master volume. It is unmuted at system start no matter what the shutdown status was, but does get reset to the last state, later on in the start process, so there is a period were the TV card noise is heard after a power on.)
    What 1 - 5 means is that you cannot rely on the MSI applications to mute the audio source at program exit, and you cannot rely on the TV card audio souce to be muted at system start.
    Some observations of the TV card mute/unmute:
    6. 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.
    7. 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).
    What this all boils down to is that the perfect solution to this problem would be if the TV card default audio state at PC power up was mute, since there is no way to guarantee that the soundcard audio source state will be mute. I don't know if this requires a hardware patch or a change in the MSI drivers.
    Another way would be to guarantee that the soundcard mixer audio source state is mute before system shutdown. The Creative mixer does not have a way to force audio source states at system start, it just resets the states to whatever they were at shutdown. This would suggest if a utility was automatically executed at shutdown to mute the soundcard audio source, maybe at system power-up, the state will be reset. If anyone is aware of such a utility, I would be interested. The ones that I have seen so far, mute only the Master volume, which as indicated above, is not sufficient.  
    The alternative is not to power off the PC.

    Do you have sound card?
    I am using TV@Anywhere Plus on Vista Ultimate. And I encountered the same thing. When I ran the TV card for the first time on Vista to check if it works fine, it gave me the same message, "cannot set capture device".
    I realized that my sound card driver is not yet installed. So I installed the driver for my Creative sound card but since Creative doesn't have an updated driver for Vista at this moment, I did some searching and found a 3rd party software that's compatible with my sound card and Vista - and that fixed the problem.
    I am not sure if that will also apply on you.
    Note;
    If you're using a sound card and haven't installed the driver yet. Try to install it. Maybe that will fix it.

  • [TV@Master] TV@nywhere master and DScaler 4.1.11

    hi there,
    over the weekend i thought i would try out a program that claims to be able to run my TV@nywhere master. that program is DScaler 4.1.11
    The program says it supports the CX2388x chipset so i thought i would play it safe and uninstalled MSIPVS and drivers and start with a cold boot, the program installed without problems, auto detecting my card, and starting up just fine. once running i had video but could not get sound, after playing with it for awhile i still could not get sound so i decided to uninstall the program and reinstall MSIPVS and drivers. I did this the same as i did before, uninstalled, powered off, powered on, shut down anything running in the background, reinstalled drivers from the cd, reinstalled MSIPVS and radio, after install, rebooted, then set up MSIPVS as i had done before (before DScaler everything worked just fine including the remote) when i had the program set up i noticed i had no sound so i checked my settings (nothing different than before), checked the device manager to make sure windows knew the card was there and no conflicts or problems and found nothing out of sorts. at this point i began to worry so i uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results, i also tried the beta drivers and the newer MSIPVS with the same results, video with no sound (when you turn the volume way up you can hear a crackling sound) at this point i was getting pretty    so i spent the next few hours trying to find out what had happened. i posted on there site asking for help but no response so far.
    from what i've read on there forum an early version of DScaler trashes the EPROM on the TV@nywhere master (i hope this is not the problem!) but that issue was supposed to be fixed with later versions of the program.
     I am at my wits end at this point.    Not sure what to try next except filling the card in the circular file
    can anyone give me some ideas on what to do? does MSI have a utillity availible to fix things like this?
    one thing is for sure DScaler will never see any rig i build from now on!     

     
    IT LIVES AGAIN!!!!!!!!
     Hi there!
    I just wanted to post an update! i got my card working again with much better results than before!! Stu you should see the picture i get and hear the sound quality!!
    alright! i'll write this down before i forget what i did. first thing i did was to uninstall MSI drivers and MSIPVS and Radio, then i downloaded DScaler 4.1.8 and the reflasher utility, then i installed DScaler, then i unpacked the reflasher to DScalers program folder and ran the tool, after that i uninstalled DScaler and powered off my rig, next i powered up and after closing anything running in the background i installed the drivers Stu posted then i powered down again. after powering up and closing everything i installed MSIPVS from the original CD that came with the card and the radio that Stu posted, powered down again, restarted and set up MSIPVS great vidio but no sound    then i started looking for a work around, i decided to run composite cables from my dish setup. vidieo to the tuner and audio to the sound card with the spliter that came with the card. got picture but no sound    then i started checking other things, "line in" is in my volume control and wasn't muted so i opened up my "sound manager" (my board has the Realtec ALC850 chipset) and started messing around with the settings there, after going thru 2 or 3 different configurations i let it auto detect and sudenly i got sound!!  (i tried auto detect first with no results) so at this point i thought i might push my luck, removed the composite cables and hooked the cable back up then restarted MSIPVS, went to setup and set it up choosing cable and line in, i ran the channel search and got vidio and sound!!!!!!     
    i'm not sure what happened because before DScaler everything worked fine (sound and video not as good as i wanted) after all this i get a great picture and great sound!! no noise in either!!
    so far so good! now that's behind me i won't be messing with alternative programs and the TV@nywhere master again!!
    i really hope this helps someone else find a way to get there card back up and running!!

  • Code12 & TV@nywhere Master

    1_ I purchased a MSI TV@nywhere Master card on July.2003 for £49.10.
    2_ NEVER WORKED.
    3_ it’s been in & out of my last two PCs at every new development, e.g. driver updates, etc MORE THAN 50 TIMES.
    4_ My latest PC’s spec is; 2.8 Pentium 4, 1GB DDR RAM, GeForce FX 5600 256MB DDR RAM, 440GB HDD, 650W power supply, Audigy sound, Window$ XP Pro c/w SP1.
    5_ I disabled every unused resource in the BIOS, e.g. parallel port, etc.
    6_ All I left in the case eventually is the graphics card and THE   CARD.
    7_ AND I am still getting CODE12 error, and my graphics card disappears. Apparently there is not enough resources. What I can’t understand is how come everything works perfectly fine, there are plenty resources for every thing in the PC but as soon as I put THE CARD all resources disappear?
    8_ I tried the card on every PCI slot on its own, just with the graphics card.
    9_ This is beyond belief. I purchased this card genuinely thinking that I could watch the news, etc while I am working on my PC, and what I’ve been through as a customer is utterly unbelievable and disgusting.
    If anybody in this forum has any idea I would appreciate it.
    Regards

    I have the tv anywhere master and had the same problem..
    but after a few days I got it working now only sound problems
    records and playback with sound but real time the sound stopped.... dunno yet
    here is what I did... warning this can be TRICKY but it worked
    first disable Paralel ports any USB and anything you dont need..
    also any sound blaster emulation should be disabled.
    go into device manager
    under system devices
    double click PCI BUS, hit the PCI Steering (tab)
    Uncheck all but these 2....
    USE PCI STEERING
    and Get table from real mode to PCIBIOS
    reboot
    see how or if they all loaded.
    if this dont work you may have to Reserve IRQ disabling some device reboot and allow those enabled devices to find opther IRQs
    then enable your other and remove reserved ones and reboot
    I was told that this would never ever work with only 15 IRQ's
    Glad they were wrong
    that is simple now,
    the sound is my problem
    I have used the line in\out between cards
    then tried CD aux. cable between them.... as someone suggested
    neither has worked.
    Dunno
    Hope this helps

  • TV @nywhere Master Resolved and Unresolved issues

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum and to MSI products.
    I have a P4P800 asus mobo + P4 2.4 GHZ/800fsb cpu + 9700 ati graphics card +  1 Gig of OCZ Ram (matched 3200 ddr in dual channel mode) and of course a TV @nywhere Master capture/tuner card. Oh yeah, Windows XP Pro.
    All the drivers are the most recent release except for the 9700 which is the second most recent.
    Good stuff:
    FM radio works fine although I can't seem to record FM in stereo??
    Capture works well too, I've been busy capturing the old hi-8 cam-corder memorys!
    Broadcast recording works fine too once I figured out that I can't get a DVD capture quality in the audio because my onboard audio only samples up to 44.1! Result is distorted sound.
    Remote works fine too.
    Bad stuff:
    Video will freeze sometimes when watching TV content.
    All too frequently, I can't completely close the TV tuner down by any means.
    I am always left with a frozen video image and audio still working. I can activate the FM tuner but it reverts back to TV audio when I shut it down! Task manager will shut it down 1 in 10 times and no matter what, I don't see the usual system resource usage when it's hung.
    Usually when I succeed in shutting down with the task manager I cannot restart the TV tuner. Last Night I got it shut down and after doing a bit of web-browsing, I pushed the remote power button and it sprang to life! ?(
    I think this ties into the very slow restarts when the card hangs on closing. I usually will attempt a restart after it hangs and find if I wait, it will restart eventually. I usually get fed-up and push reset!
    Thats my experience so far and I think I could be happy with this card except for this hang-on-closing issue.
    I would appreciate any ideas!

    I forgot to mention one other small issue.
    About 80% of the time, when turning on the computer, there is a lot of electrical noise and hiss coming from the card. I turn the radio on and off and things are quiet again. ?(

  • Transfering NTSC VHS using TV @nywhere Master....Plz Help!

    Hi!
    Im trying to transfer NTSC VHS using Philips VR422 VHS Video Recorder. This is able to play NTSC VHS Video's normally on any TV.
    But When I use TV @nywhere Master it doesnt display properly and I only get it in black and while and the display sometimes has a bar at the top and/or bottom usually flickering displaying a previous part of the recording.
    Now I have used the Coax/Phono(RCA)/S-Video inputs from the Coax source and the both scart connecters (ex1 & 2) using a scart coverter connector and still have the same problem.
    Now I live in the UK and obviously here it's PAL-I but i have tried from setup/installation both NTSC (& NTSC-M) and PAL-I and still get it in black and white!, ive tried changing these after installation with no joy!, I have used the original drivers and have the latest WDM drivers and PVR1 & 3 downloaded from the MSI website.
    I have no probs with the sound coming in through L/R Phono's to 3.5mm using the Line-In.
    Does anyone know how to get this setup so it players normally through the TV @nywhere Master or could someone help me in finding either a DVD recorder that can do it or a service (local to Birmingham,UK) which i can use as I need to get these done ASAP!!... HELP!!!

    unfortunately there are two versions of TV@nywhere Master; if you have the PAL one (for Europe) then it won't work with NTSC signals (or vice-versa)

  • Got another TV@nywhere Master

    I went and did it, I bought another Tv@anywhere Master. The hardware has an 881 chip on the card but it is the 23881-19 release this time, I beleive my original card had the 23881-12 chip.
    I did not install the software from the included CDs but use the latest version downloaded from MSI. Only needed the CDs for the serial numbers.
    Anyway been running for 3 days now with none of problems I had with the original card and my remote worked first time. In general the drivers and software has improved but the display still has very poor de-interlacing but is marginally better than before.
    The Radio does seam to tune better than before.
    Lets hope it stays that way and the MSI do not forget to update the drivers etc. from time to time.

    I am using the pure MSIPVS and the drivers downloaded from MSI. I am using nothing off the CDs except the Teletext program and the Serial numbers.
    I am now also using the full un-hacked version of DX9b using the latest patch for TVTuners. I have done nothing except scan for channels, all the country details and TV standards were set by the software. I was quite amazed by this as I was expecting problems with the remote but it also worked faultlessly from the start. Even using the line-in cable rather that the internal audio connection with no problems.
    I had heard of some people having a pleasant experience using the TV@nywhere Master straight out of the box, it looks as if I was lucky this time.
    Although it is quite possible some hacked settings etc remained from my previous card I would have thought that the complete reinstallation of DX9b, the drivers and MSIPVS would have cleared any of the old stuff.
    One thing I am noticing about the new Radio software is that when you boot up static white noise comes from the speakers. If the radio is muted before it is shut down this is not a problem, but MSI need to amend the software to muted the radio automatically on exit.

  • TV @nywhere Master Radio

    Just Wondering what drivers does the onboard radio on the TV @nywhere Master uses. Is it the same as in the driver pack for the card??
    Thks

    Quote from: Stu on 31-May-06, 17:13:06
    are you using the latest MSI Radio program?
    have you checked the audio capture settings?
    Yes, I believe so, I just D/L it yesterday. I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
    I checked the capture settings but what's the connection?
    I did not find any settings for which volume control to use.
    Thanks
