Tv tuner card into a standard dell pc??

Ive bought an MSI,  pci, tv tuner card for a mega pc,from komplett.ie ( part no 120172)  not ever hearing of a 'mega pc' before now. Put the card into a pci slot in my dell pc and  installed the software on the cd supplied all fine.
Now I find that nothing tunes in and on seeking tech help am told that 'mega pcs' are not the same as pc's. And looking at the manufacturers website the information given on this product is slim to none. Is there a way to get this to work on my pc i.e. any software that will enable this seeing as its a pci card.  
Im running win XP sp2 .
Id appretiate any help or advise anyone can offer on this.
Thanks.

welcome to the world of MSI!  
although this tuner card (MS8606-40) was designed with the Mega PC in mind (which itself is just a small form factor barebones) it is the same as the MSI TV@nywhere Master card (MS8606-10) but without the added FM radio tuner chip and remote controller, so I imagine it should work with it
you might be better off having a browse through the TV@nywhere forum and seeing if any posts there might help you, first thing i suggest you do is download and install the BETA drivers in my sticky post

  • Installing Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Card into Dell Inspiron

    Hey,
    I have tried to install my old Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Card into my new Dell Inspiron 530, from my old PC. Although, the power cables have different pins (the PC has a smaller input). Also, where the SPDIF cable etc. goes into the DVD dri've, there are no available slots. What can I do? Sorry if there isn't enough information, I'm really confused.
    Do?newer recording soundcards, such as the elite pro etc. have different cables for newer PC's?

    Are you referring to the floppy power connector? If so, you do not need to plug that in unless you are using external peripherals. Also what do you mean by no available slots? Is the SPDIF connector from the DVD dri've plugged into the motherboard? If so then you can unplug it from there and plug it into the sound card instead since you will be using the sound card to output sound now rather than the onboard sound. Perhaps you could show us some pictures of what you are talking about.

  • How can I view a video camera plugged into the TV tuner card's S-Video socket

    HP Pavillion Elite HPE Series desktop. TV tuner card AVerMedia H752. Video camera connected to S-Video socket. Win7 64 bit OS. How can I view the camera output? Windows Media Center does not seem to provide a means.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I don't know what are you trying to do. The Tuner card is like a TV which allow you watching TV like normal TV on your computer. The S-Video is OUT only, plugging a video camera to it won't do anything good.
    Regards.

  • 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 Tuner Card and Signal for AVerMedia A323 Hybrid ATSC

    Community, need a little assist.  Here is my set up
    TouchSmart 520-1070 w/
    Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Windows Media Center
    AverMedia A323 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC
    Cox Communications Cable
    No cable box (straight out of the wall)
    This is a replacement of my Slimline s5260F which contained a Hauppauge ATSC and NTSC TV tuner.  I have input my cable and am attempting to tune my channels, however, following the scan for channels, the return is that there are no stations.  I have attempted to set up manually on different settings to try and pick up a signal, but to no avail. 
    My previous card could pick up the analog channels as well as some of the standard HD channels for the big (CBS, NBC, ABC).  Again, no cable box, just straight out of my wall into the computer.  To my great surprise, that tuner card, even picked up some of the channels such as ESPN, CNN, Discovery (not HD, but still).  I attribute this to the cable company actually having a digital signal into my home, but not having the box would keep me from seeing these channels.  I really don't care if I don't see those with my new TouchSmart.
    However, I can't even get a standard analog setup.  It will pull down the guide in Media Center which then identifies that I have a Clear QAM digital signal.  I run the channel setup and nothing comes back.  All I get even on the non-HD channel is some of the audio and then just scrambled signal.  If I go back an manually set up with just an analog signal, it doesn't change a thing, so I'm kind of at a lose.  I have digital quality signal but no way to pick that up and I can go back to my standard analog channels. 
    Does someone know the work around where I don't have to: 1) lay out more money for an adaptor for my computer to decode the digital signal, or; 2) have to pay a cable company to install a cable box and start paying more money to watch digital TV.  All I'm really looking for is to record a few shows from the major networks. 
    Regards and thanks in advance!

    Hello Compute_This:
           Sorry body your TV tuner will not work period no mater what you do. Please read this full article at the very bottom of it is the collusion from tuners company. http://www.fathsoft.com/support/index.php?a=5&cat=2&tid=923 
    I would take it back and get my money back. If not able to that then put it on line and sell it to some one outside of USA. They can use it because they are still using Anog. TV signals. Here is one that is supose to work least that is what it says in detail information on this page. http://www.antonline.com/p_MTVHVMXSK-NX_751196.htm?sID=NX Here is another one to veiw. Specks for it at bottom of page This one includes FM tuner as well. http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-16gb-datatraveler-109-usb-2-0-flash-drive-black-and-white/225557322... Most of the tv tuners I searched won't work on windows 7 computers and are for Anlog TV like the one you have. These are the only two I could find that say they are HDTV for windows 7. I went and checked all they had listed for pc tv tuners. Read costomers reviews if it was listed. You do same and save your self  money and headaches. Your welcome frrw. I would have posted this sooner how ever I was still researching there where alot tv tuners listed.

  • Family sharing without a credit card and using I-Tunes card

    i Do not want to enter one of my credit cards into my Apple account, my wife, daughter and myself always just use I-Tunes cards to buy stuff. Is there any way to have family sharing without entering a credit card? I just don't feel secure putting it in my account.

    Hy, I live in Belgium, and there are different methods of verifying your identity and age (electronic ID card) and furthermore it is not for my children I want to set up family sharing but for my wife and me and she is certainly of legal age. On the other hand, my eldest is 14. So what is the problem with identity certification as all the Apple ID s I have created (for my wife, my mother, my stepmother and several other adults in my entourage happened without credit card, but with an iTunes card). The use of credit cards is not as common in Europe as in the US.
    what could be a solution to this problem ?

  • HD video from SD card (SDHC card) into iMovie?

    Hi,
    It looks like others have had similar problems, but reading various replies, and being new to Mac and video editing, I can't seem to get the info I need.
    While on holiday we bought a Sanyo xacti HD1010 camcorder/still camera. All data is on HC SD cards. When I try and transfer to the iMac, everything goes into iPhoto, the video clips with a green tint to them. I downloaded the latest QT which enables me to play the individual clips, and managed to import the clips to iMovie, but iMovie crashes each time i try and play a clip. Other clips, (not HD ones and from a standard SD card) play and edit fine.
    Could someone please assist, as I have three 8GB cards to edit!
    I'm also going to need some help installing a 500GB external hard drive to store everything. (We already have over 10 000 photos in iPhoto and about three hours of edited video waiting togo onto DVD)
    Many thanks,
    DH

    I have a similar Sanyo ..not your hi-def Xacti HD1010, but the more low-tech standard-def 'waterproof' VPC-CA8EX..
    ..which also records - like yours - in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. But yours is proper hi-def AVCHD H.264.
    I put my SDHC cards into a fast SDHC USB2 'Christallo' brand card reader, and import the video from there. The card reader shows on my Desktop as 'XACTI', and then when I start iMovie it automatically detects the 'camera' and starts reading the clips from the card and showing thumbnail images. When I click 'Import All' it whizzes through the clips, importing in a tiny fraction of 'real-time' ..about two seconds for a 1-minute clip.. finally reporting that it "..Imported 21 minutes and 44 seconds from 43 clips.." in less than a minute. Then it spends about 2 minutes generating actual thumbnails of these clips in iMovie '08.
    (..It's generally, I find, faster to read a camera's, or camcorder's, images through a separate card reader than reading by connecting a camera to the Mac..)
    So my clips don't go through iPhoto ..they're - automatically - imported straight into iMovie '08 on an Intel-powered Mac.
    (..Ah, no; it's still churning through thumbnail-generation; that was an estimated 2 minutes for just the first day's clips ..but these clips are split over four separate days' shooting ..now it's finished.)
    As you're using a similar codec (method of recording) - although in hi-def, with a wider screen format and a great number of pixels - your imports should, I think, behave similarly to mine, though importing may be slower, as you have more info in each 'frame' of video.
    If I open iPhoto after connecting the card reader, iPhoto sees a device called 'Xacti', reads and displays all the photos and video clips, and when I click on 'Import' it briskly brings them all into iPhoto, without the time which iMovie spends generating video thumbnails afterwards.
    None of the video clips have "..a green tint to them".
    If I then start iMovie, I get the message "iMovie needs to generate thumbnails for the videos in your iPhoto library. This process may take several minutes. You can postpone this operation by clicking Later, but your iPhoto videos will be unavailable until the next time you restart iMovie". ..So there it goes, generating its video thumbnails. After one minute, it thinks that it's still going to take a further 7 minutes to do this..
    (..Enough time for me to go and have breakfast all over again!..)
    iMovie seizes up and becomes completely unresponsive while it's generating the thumbnails which it wants to display for the Xacti clips stored in iPhoto..
    My setup is QuickTime Version 7.5.7 (249.30.1) ..also called Version 7.5.7 (995.26.2) and iMovie version ..well; I can't yet tell you what version (..but it's the latest..) because iMovie is unresponsive while it's creating these darned thumbnails! (..Oh; about another "5 minutes" to go.. this really is a slow way round; importing directly into iMovie in the first place, without using iPhoto, was -f-a-r- faster!..)
    Meanwhile, about your hard disc;
    It ought to be a FireWire-connected disc, not a USB-connected disc, as USB is far slower for continuous data transfer - such as chunks of video while editing - than FireWire, despite what salespeople tell you in shops.
    Assuming it's a FireWire disc, it's probably been pre-formatted for use with a PC, not a Mac, so you'll probably need to format it as 'Mac OS Extended' instead of 'PC Exchange - FAT32'. As it's large - 500GB - you'll probably also need to partition it.
    Instead of writing out all over again how to do this, I'll just refer you to another thread - read all the way through, including the bits about 'Options' and choosing 'Apple Partition Map' or 'GUID' - here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8542065#8542065
    Ah, now: iMovie; "less than a minute" ..till thumbnails are complete. Yup, here they all are, and playing nicely. At last!
    So; I can tell you what my Sanyo Xacti (standard-def, 4:3 shaped movies) does ..or rather, how importing works. So it should work just the same - I guess - with yours.
    I don't have any conflicting codecs which I could have downloaded and which might interfere with iMovie - do you?
    But I would guess that the crashing is more likely related to "..we seem to have used 295 so only 5 G left.." ..ANY Mac is going to have trouble if you're trying to handle hi-def and you've only 5GB of storage space left.
    STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING and configure that external disc, and unload some of your 295GB files onto that to give your Mac at least 10% - i.e; 30GB - "breathing space"!
    Then, with a properly-configured external FireWire disc, and 30GB space on your internal disc, try again. Oh, and you may find importing runs faster with a fast external card reader, and by starting up iMovie instead of iPhoto (..disable iPhoto's Preference marked under the 'General' tab "Connecting camera opens: "iPhoto" ..set it to "No application").

  • TV tuner Card for Mac with Component input

    Hey everyone, I was hoping someone could help me find a good TV Tuner card for my MacBook. I found a few potentials, however I've yet to find one with Component input that would allow me to play my XBox 360 at a resolution of 1050p. This is the resolution of my stand-alone monitor, and with S-Video the resolution would drop into the 400's. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Does this work with a Mac? Looks like from the screenshots this is only compatible with Vista
    I'm also looking for something that also has a coaxle input along with the component input, so that I can watch TV!

  • Using a "tv-tuner" card as video in

    We're a television station using Skype for on-air interviews as well as with one of our employees who does traffic reports out of her home office every morning.  
    Here at the station, we need to integrate the "camera" into our system so the other person can see when we're on air and also any video that they may be referencing.  How we've done this in the past is we've used either a TV Tuner card or a video capture card and we feed video video into the card from whatever source we need.  The tv-tuner/capture cards have always been recognized within Skype.
    We're currently running version 6.0.0.126 with automatic updates turned off, but Skype is complaining saying that we need to upgrade because this version will no longer be supported.  We can continue to run this version, but we've been told there are times when we're on-air or recording an interview and we get a notice on screen that says we need to update.  Not very cool!  
    One of my coworkers said he's read where people have had better luck with USB based tuners so I just purchased a Hauppauge USB-Live2, which says right on the box that it works with Skype. Unfortunately the latest version 6.18.60.106 doesn't even recognize the tuner.
    Are there ANY tuner/capture cards that are recognized within Skype or is there a different version of Skype for broadcasters that makes allowances for another video source other than a webcam?  We can't be the only ones having this issue...

    One of the guys here was doing some research as well and found on Skype's website that that they are disabling all versions 6.13 & below.  The current version is 6.14.
    Also, he did extensive testing and found that even with the newest version of ManyCam, Skype 6.14 doesn't see that as a "webcam" either.  So at this point, if we're forced to upgrade to the latest version of Skype, there is NO option available for anyone we Skype with to see our return video.
    It looks like Microsoft is forcing our hand once again and we'll HAVE to purchase Skype TX when it becomes available.  Hopefully they won't disable the previous versions until they release this new hardware.  I can only imagine the cost as it sounds like it will supply all necessary inputs and outputs. We're currently using a Matrox Convert DVI box to get the video out of the computer and routed into our broadcast equipment.  The Matrox box costs almost $1,000, so I'm guessing that the Skype TX with the same functionality will be along the same lines.
    Time will tell...

  • TV tuner card in 8600, is it practical or dont bother?

    Hi all,
    I was successful in adding a TV tuner card running OS 9.2.2 with app ixTV into my 8600/300 PM. Due to the fact I dont have cable I'm able to only view TV a little clear. Should I just put this card into my G4 AGP which has a Nividia Gforce 64MB video card? Will I get any better viewing results??
    Thanks
    web dude

    If it functions well enough and gives you reason to fire up the 8600, I'd leave it in it. In February 2009, the tuner card will need a digital-to-analog converter box, so you're looking at a little over 6 months of usage with the ixMicro software interface for channel surfing. After that, the ixTV tuner will stay set to channel 3 or 4, while using the remote control that ships with the converter box.

  • 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.

  • H330: will a TV tuner card fit?

    I'm considering buying an H330 slim desktop to use as a home theater PC.  Does anyone know if a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 TV tuner card will fit?  Reviews say the case is small, and I worry the tuner card won't fit.
    Also, is this a quiet machine?  I was also considering a Dell Inspiron 620s, but reviews say that machine is loud and poorly assembled.
