Tv tuner card for mega 865 pro

I have seen in MSI web page for Czech that there is a new TV tuner for Mega 865 pro. Is this card the one that will fit into the new Mega pc allowing instant on features?
If yes, could some one confirm the features of this card and when will be available in other countries?
thanks

How to contact MSI.
as far as i'm aware, this new card is not yet currently available

  • Tuner tv card for MEGA PC865 Pro

    Hi!
    I need help.
    Somebody knows the reference for the Tuner TV card compatible with the MSI MEGA PC 865 Pro ?
    I can't find it on the MSI web site. 
    But on the quisk start guide they speak about Leadtek card !!!!
    Thanks a lot.
    Mark.

    i have the same $hit!
    I have Mega 865 PRO and 2 TV tuners: AverMedia 509 (based on philips 7135) and MSI TV@nywhere Plus (based on philips 7131). And what do I get? 
    NOTHING!
    In both cases when I'm using Avermedia or MSI TV@nywhere in InstantOn mode I can't use FM or TV. Anytime i try to switch on TV or FM Mega shows for a moment the proper mode on it's LED and then switchs to DVD with 'Incorrect Media type' or 'Please insert disk' message!
    Of course I reinstalled InstantOn anytime I changed tv tuner. I use InstantOn CD that comes with my Mega 865 PRO and I tryed to use one from here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind=4, but it seems to me they are the same!
    Any suggestions?
    BTW: I reckon InstantOn should work without WIN XP installed?

  • Which TV-tuner card for MEGA 180

    Hello,
    Just wondering which is the best tv-tuner card for the MEGA 180 which still enables the use of the original remote control.  
    I know the MS-8606-040 provides this but seems rather basic, the other model (MS-8606-010, TV@anywhere card) comes with its own remote control but can you use the one provided with the 180?
    Any other makes which do the job?
    Thanks

    On-board nForce graphics and audio drivers

    The reason for this is the Microsoft requirement that any recording does not use more than 50% of the CPU processing time, hence I think you will find that all have a hardware MPEG2 encoder built in (that's why they are mostly the PVR versions).
    I believe that the following are the officially supported MCE 2005 cards:

  • VGA for MEGA 865 Pro

    Hi,
    I am an owner of a MEGA PC 865 Pro and i would like to install a VGA card. Which one would you propose in order to fit the box and the PSU (220W)?
    I need it for gaming such as SimCity4, Civ4, Age of Empires III, etc., not for FPS or driving and flying simulators.

    the best suggestions were made here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=95111.0
    i'm pretty sure i saw elsewhere that ATI Radeon cards don't have as high power requirements as Nvidia's, certainly there have been plenty of users using 9800Pros and 6600s with little trouble

  • TV Tuner Card for MEGA PC

    Hi All!
    Recently I've added a TV tuner Card (MS-8606) to my MEGA PC 651. This card is not TV@nywhere, but very similar one. It is the "optional TV tuner card" MSI talks about in the description of MEGA PCs. The card does not have FM tuner, as MEGA PC already have one on the motherboard.
    I've installed the card and the standard MSI software (drivers, MSIPVS, Cinema , WinSchedule and other stuff) from the supplied CD with minimum difficulties. (The drivers on CD are version 2.79.1.64) The good things is that the software finds channels, there is picture, even the remote works
    However, there is an annoying problem -- sound disappears each 2-15 seconds. That is sound works for, say, 20 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds, then works again for 5 seconds, then stops and so on. Did anybody encounter such a problem?

    Probably not anymore
    It was just a TV@nywhere Master, but without the FM radio tuner.

  • A good news for MPC 865 PRO users

    the original thread was posted on MSI chinese forum,one guy said he want to buy a tv tuner card for his 865 pro,since the card is  not on sale now,MSI CHINA gave him a beta card,and he found the beta card was WINFAST TV 2000!!!! i don't know if it was true that tv2000 can be used on 865 pro(both PC and instantON mode) because i don't have 865 pro and tv2000 card,but who have 865 pro should have a try,tv 2000 is  not expensive as MSI's original card,in china,tv 2000 only cost 200 rmb(about 25 dollars)

      Hello there, I'm from Indonesia, I've just bought MEGAPC 865 PRO about a week ago. My system using Winfast TV2000XP expert edition from Leadtek, as this card is the only type recommended by MSI distributor in my country. It's true that this tv tuner works, but I've found some malfunctions while using TV program with instant-on.
    1) When using 'antenna' option as tv source, each channel scanned will result in good picture but the voice sound robotic (unclear). I changed the tv source using cable-tv line, the channel will resulted in good picture and sound, but I've lost some channels. Cable-tv program supposed to be 16 channels, while using 'antena' option in tv source I received only 10 channels and using 'cable' option I received only 11 channels. So where the rest of the channels go?
    2) The tv mode on instant on built with 'program saving' where you can save your favorite channel, however you can't sort which channel that you want to save.
    3) The FM radio does not works.
    4) No user guide/manual for instant-on
    Fortunately, all of the above problems not existed if you are running in Windows XP mode, and the TV performance is much better (better picture and sound). The sad thing is, I feel like paying too much for instant-on capabilities.
    I've contacted the local MSI customer support but they claimed that the problem didn't occured while they're doing  my system set up. But they have forward my complain to MSI's head office. I've also send an e-mail to MSI customer support but it's been a week and they are not replying yet.
    If you have tried Winfast TV 2000 and not experiencing the same way as I do, please let me know. Perhaps I should change or update my system setting?       

  • Best Graphics and Tuner Card for 865 Pro with XP MCE (Maybe Vista?)

    Hi all,
    I'm looking at rebuilding my 865 Pro
    I haven't upgraded the graphics so what do people recommend as the best AGP card for the 865 Pro
    I have the MSI tuner but I am looking a ditching instant on for MCE would like to get a idea for digital tuning card (I'm in the UK). Would anybody recommend using a combined AGP/Tuner card like the ATI All in Wonder cards or using a USB Tuner?
    I am thinking I will have to stick with XP because of driver support. I have dual boot to Vista at the moment but the wifi doesn't work.
    Idea and Suggestions welcome
    Danny

    Thanks for the reply Stu.
    I tried installing the XP wi-fi driver in Vista and I couldn't get it to work. I didn't try harder as the Mega 865 Pro is not supposed to be Vista compatible.
    Is there a 3rd party driver I should try?
    The reason I would like to upgrade the graphics is to have the option to play some games and I am beginning to find limitation with the on board graphics. I tried to check out second life on the mega the other week and it wouldn't set up because the graphics wasn't up to it.
    I have tried installing a dedicated APG card before - the Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 6600 with heatpipe passive cooling.
    It is a great card but I found every now and then the PC would crash with it running. It is a very tight fit with the TV tuner card and the airflow wasn't good.
    So I am looking at using a small APG card or replacing the tuner. That’s why a combined card seemed to make sense and would free up the PCI slot.
    As power is a problem for some graphics cards is upgrading the PSU an option?
    Thanks
    Danny

  • MEGA 865 pro suggested TV tuner card

    I am building an 865 pro and want a tv tuner/agp video  card for pvr and enough punch to handle games. My mega 180 manual suggested to stick with the MSI TV@nywhere card but the 865 pro doesnt have any such recommendations. I know space and heat are the primary issues. I also would like component out for hdtv.. Anybody have suggestions?

    as far as i am aware, if you want to watch TV with the InstantOn feature of 865PRO, you'll need the special 865PRO tv tuner. otherwise pretty much any other PCI or USB device should work
    if you want a decent AGP card, you might find a USB tuner would be a good option, otherwise there is the ATI All-In-Wonder cards, which combine a VGA card and TV tuner in one card. there's also cards like MSI's TV5200/5700.

  • FOUND: Mega 865 Pro Official TV Tuner (sort of)

    Well after numerous emails back and forth to MSI's technical service deptartment, I have received the following answer:
    "The S36-0000281-L49 is the correct [and only] tuner card to use with the Mega 865Pro PC in order to function under Instant On and Home Theater applications."
    What is this card you ask, well if you type in the model number at msicomputer.com you get a description of the "MEGA 865 Pro TV Tuner Card". http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=MEGA_865_Pro_TV_Tuner_Card&class=gs
    It has the same chipset as the TV@nywhere Master (Conexant CX23883). There is no picture of the card, link to purchase the card, or any support for the card (ie drivers, manuals). I asked MSI if this is a real card, or something that they intended to sell in the future and they responded that "it has been out on the market for awhile and since the unit has been phased out, you can contact our sales team for the card availability: http://www.msicomputer.com/company/Sales_inquiries.asp".
    I ran a google on the model number and the name of the card which turned up one site apparently selling this card (different model number): http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=17418&vpn=MS-236-000028&manufacture=MicroStar
    Apparently this is the elusive optional TV Tuner that MSI does not advertise anywhere on their websites. Does it work or even exist? Beats me.

    Look, do what most of us have done, by a hybrid digital analogue FM/ or dual digital tv tuner card and forget about instanton and home theater
    use MCE 2005.
    using XP Hibernate is just as fast as instantOn anyway

  • Mega 865 Pro All in Wonder AGP card question

    Helllo,
    I own Mega 865 Pro, and iam looking to install AGP card that has all the features of video editing instead of buying two cards like Pinnacle and graphic card, so i have been searching and i found All in Wonder series, which has TV tuner as well, has any one tried this before, it would be fun to have HDTV beside all the prevoius features of editing issues all in one card, but iam not sure that the power will be enough, so please iam seeking advice.
    Regards

    Quote from: Stu on 18-March-07, 04:00:21
    as you are using MCE2005, in order to use the TV capture in Media Center, you should be sure that it is supported in MCE
    May you reccomed a card to me that support MCE and has the prevoius features as iam not expert in this matter, beside i have heared that i can upgrade the power supplu toget more than 240 watts as thats what i get normally from MEga 865 pro, is that possible to upgrade the power supply? because most new cards needs from 350 watts and above
    Regards

  • Building mega 865 pro pc...

    hey..
    i've just bought my brand new mega 865 pro and havn't got a clue what to put inside it..
    i think i'll go for the pentium 4 3.0ghz.. but after that, i'm not sure what is compatible with it..
    need 512mb ram.. basic stuff (what's compatible??)
    don't need a gfx card or sound card..
    would need about a 200gig hd.. (should i get SATA?.. what's the difference?)
    my biggest worry is the dvd-rw and tv card as i heard many are not compatible...
    i would like a basic tv card that can take advantage of all of the built in msi features.. can anybody recommend one?
    thanks,
    all help appreciated,
    scrappy.

    you can't use high density ram in the 865 PRO - it wont boot.
    SATA is the way of the future, might as well go for it. the only real difference at this stage is that the SATA cable is smaller, thinner and better for air flow. (I removed my extra IDE cable as I'm using SATA)
    You shouldnt have any problems with DVD-RW.
    As for the TV card, go digital. forget the MSI TV card that works with the 865  it only does analog. Forget about instant on too. its crap, just use hibernate or S3 standby, it will turn your pc on just as fast.   

  • Mega 865 PRO graphics?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the onboard graphics on a Mega 865 Pro?

    The only thing to watch out for is the power consumtion of the card. Have a look at this thread for some suggestions

  • I need help Mega 865 pro still restart by itself

    I bought Mega 865 pro last month. I already have install XP pro (very hard to install). In during install It's restart many time and then Mega865 pro do reinstall and complete by itself. I'm wordering because I think It can install so I shut down it. However, in the morning of the next day I try to re-open windows XP, so It can startup. However, I didn't install Instanton program, just driver install. Also, Windows still restart by itself. I'm no idea what the exactly I must do or I need to flash Bios for P4/3.0 GHz 800M LGA775/2M FSB 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T   please!!! Help me...How must I do? .... see below my stuff. 
    PS. How do the flash Bios? please explain me .
    Mega PC 865 Pro P4 Home
    CPU: P4/3.0 GHz 800M LGA775/2M FSB 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T
    HD 160GB Seagate SATA
    NEC 16X DVD-RW
    RAM : Corsair VS1GB DDR400 PC 3200
    VGA card: MSI RX9600Pro-TD 128 Radeon AGP 8X
    Monitor: Fujiplus 19"

    flashing BIOS is only dangerous if you go blundering in without knowing what you are doing. you know you need to update the BIOS, as long as you read all relevant advices first, then you should have no problems!
    basically you need to copy the BIOS image fie from your CD to a RAMdrive created in memory by a Windows 98SE bootdisk. that avoids the risk of bad floppy or CD read errors. you can find bootdisk images here: www.bootdisk.com

  • Help with mega 865 pro and maxtor sata 6L300S0

    i have a mega 865 pro i just install a new HDD model maxtor sata 6L300S0 300 GB and it is very slow on the mega i contact maxtor and they say i have to verify if i have correct SATA driver installed. but everything looks ok on the system. where i can download that driver again? any one can help me?
    What im doing wrong?

    I'm having the same problem with my Mega 865 pro and my Maxtor 6l200mo (200gb).
    Seems to boot up fine, dosn't take any longer to load up startup items than my old system. Though using pretty much any program results in the system pausing and stuttering for a few seconds. I have noticed it most recenltly when watching video files (mpeg/divx). While i'm watching a video, it will keep pausing at random times.....sometimes every 5 seconds....sometimes every 5 mintues. It does the same when i'm not connected to the internet too, and does the same if I am simply playing mp3s or just on the internet! When it seems to do it most is like now! I have an mpeg playing (300mb) in a window, and while I am browsing the internet and even typing this post, it is pausing for a few seconds which is really frustrating! My old system was pretty similar spec to my current Msi system, though it wasn't a barebones system and was slighty lower spec. That worked flawlessly doing the same tasks so my guess is it must be an Ata problem. Another Mega865 gripe that is bugging me!
    Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers!
    P.s My hd Tach results were pretty much the same as centarlrocks

  • Win XP installation failure on MEGA 865 PRO

    I'm fighting with my  MEGA 865pro, Celeron D 341,2x256 RAM, HDD Maxtor 200GB SATA , DVD-RW LG.
    Everything went ok up to the XP installation, i.e. I installed instant-On on an empty disk (it runs and works). Then I boot a Win XP install CD, and it hangs a second after displaying the initial message: "..detecting hardware....". The HDD access led stays on. The same for XP SP1 and SP2. Any BIOS tweaking does not help.
    After XX tries, I found out the SATA HDD is the bad guy, as the XP setup goes ok if I use my old ATA disk, or even if I use both the SATA and the ATA disks.
    Interestingly, Win 2000 installs *without any problems* (but then InstantOn does not boot)!!!  Gentoo and Ubuntu linux work as well.
    I'm trying to install the absolutely standard and ("only") recommended configuration, so what ... :(
    I've seen few posts about this here and there (e.g. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85690.msg616103#msg616103), but no solutions so far :((((
    Thanx
    viz

    Dunno if you allready did, but you need to have the latest BIOS to run Win XP SP2 on the MEGA 865 Pro. When i bought mine, Sp2 wasn't out yet and things worked fine. When i tried installing SP2, everything went fine, untill i boot. Black screen and nothing, after a while MSI released a new BIOS fixing the problem, newest BIOS i think is 1.30
