Vox USB 2.0 TV Box Pixelated distortion

Greetings,
I recently purchased your VOX USB2.0 TV BOX. I don't believe I have ever had a harder time with getting something that is supposed to be so simple to simply work. After installation and driver installation + updates from your site. It still did not resolve my issues. Tried on 3 different computers with the same results. The device gives me a horrid resolution. Its so pixelated that you can-not make out any words at all. And that is just the video-in. The TV in is probably worse, I see practically nothing but snow and distortion. I can tell that it is receiving the certain channels that I would watch on a regular TV, but its too horrid.
Any advice on how I can resolve this problem? Thanks.
:wall:Zak:wall:
P.S. Please reply to [email protected] if you don't mind. Thanks again.

Have you tried checking all the audio settings to make sure sound isn't muted somewhere on line in?
This should not matter. The volume level of LINE-IN, yes, but the muted status? No. The VOX software takes control of the mute status on LINE-IN to control the signal input from the VOX. Kind of a crappy design decision, as it means that the LINE-IN has a CONSTANT audio signal coming in, and if there's a glitch that kicks off LINE-IN's mute, you'll be blasted by whatever audio is coming off the VOX at max volume. When you deactivate the tuner software, it's supposed to reactivate the MUTE.
So, having MUTE on is perfectly normal.

Msi vox usb 2.0 remote/sound problems

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

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

Play video games with MSI VOX USB?

Hi,
I am interested in getting the MSI VOX USB 2.0 External TV Box and I am just wondering if I can play video games such as Playstation 2 with my laptop using this tv tuner. I heard some tv tuners have the "delay" make them useless to play video games. Does MSI VOX USB have this "dealy", and how is the the picture quality while playing video game with this tv tuner?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Hiya,
I dont really understand the VoxBox but I've just inadvertadly managed to put the PS2 on my laptop by plugging the video/audio cables into the converter and then into a USB port, and although it did work, and there wasnt a delay or anything, the quality was poor compared to a TV and also it flickered a bit so I'm not sure it would work that well- but that may have just been my computer playing up. Definitely possible though. Sorry I cant offer much more advice!

Hi dear Dr Stu.
I can not change my operating system beacuse I need run SQL Server 2000 enterprise edition and some software that just run over system server editions, I thing that will be run beacause in the product features show "Windows 98/Me/2000/XP".
Intervideo said that the MSI VOX USB 2.0 is not listed into the support cards.
Do you have someting idea?, the problem is that the MSI Box has been a price over that this is.

InterVideo WinDVR encountered a problem and needs to close (VOX USB 2.0)

Device: MSI VOX USB 2.0
Driver: vox_1.1.0505.0.zip
Software: msipvs_8609.zip (both driver and windvr software were download from official MSI site).
Machine: Dell Latitude D600 with 1G memory
Symptom: Installed ok, during starting the following is popuped:
InterVideo WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Searching the forum I found one posting relating that to QuickTime codecs installed by Nero. But It is not the case on my machine.
I downloaded the trial version of WinDVR3 from InterVideo web site and it works correctly. Anyone experience similiar problem. Any suggestion/instruction is deeply appreciated.

Just partially solved the problem by download the beta driver.At least now the MSIPVS program starts ok. The four problems remain are:
1. It won't load the channel file upon startup. Have to manually load the file before changing channels
2. the control (channel up/down, power off) doesn't work
3. the unit won't turn off (the led light is still on after exit the program)
4. don't know how to use the teletxt program included.
Any direction/comment is deeply appreciated.

Sound Problem VOX USB

hi there,
I just bought a MSI vox USB tv card and I can't seem to get the audio to work. The video image is ok, but how do I connect the sound since i have no audio line in ??? i tried it with the mic port, but i don't get any sound, just some noise...
I do have an S-video connection...maybe i can do something with that ?
also, is it possible to connect speakers directly to the TV card ? how would i do that since the plugs are different..
any help is appreciated
Nick

They are plug and play.
I did try unplugging all of the USB devices and then powered off the computer and unplugged it for about 5 minutes as I heard that that sometimes solves USB problems. However, upon reconnecting the problem returned. All other USB devices seem to be working normally - it's only the Bose sound system. I tried plugging it into a different USB port in the back of the computer but the problem continued after about 10 minutes. Therefore, I am convinced this is not hardware related.
At this point I am thinking I need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard to undo whatever Tinker Tool damaged. Is it possible to just replace the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling everything?

PAL 60hz on VOX USB ???? Help!

Hi
I've just bought a MSI VOX USB to play with my videogames consoles on the tft screen of my portable thinkpad, but I've a problem with the 60Hz mode.
In fact, the VOX work good in NTSC 60Hz, but in PAL I can't play in 60Hz! It's work, but the games appeared black and white... So, if I want to play in color, I've to play in 50hz mode but that's sux >_
Why can we play in PAL 60hz? Can I found something to upgrade the vox or the InterVideo program
(I play on a portable, so I can't change the refresh rate of the screen)
Thanks in advance

I know that NTSC is 60hz et PAL 50Hz, but there is also PAL 60Hz
In general, PAL consoles don't support S-Video signal, there are composite or rgb scart...
So if the Vox support NTSC 60Hz, why is it impossible to support also the Pal 60hz? It may be possible

Unable to instal VOX USB 2.0 drivers in WINDOWS XP Prof. SP2

Hi,
I am unable to instal drivers in Windows XP Prof. SP2 for VOX USB 2.0. When I instal drivers from manufacturer's CD, instalation tells me, that it cannot instal some update for XP SP1. But I have SP2, so it should be OK. Then, after computer restart, I connected VOX and windows could not recognize it and asked me for drivers. I tried to instal drivers manually from the cd, but windows always tells me, that it cannot find driver on CD. I tried to download latest drivers from MSI website, but I had the same problem with it. What should I do? I am unable to use the TV tuner
Could anybody write me exact procedure how to instal it, please please!
Thank You very much.
(I have tried to instal it on another computer with Windows XP Prof. SP2 and it did not work also. The same problem.)

Yes, my system has USB 2.0. It is P4 2.4GHz Northwood, motherboard: MSI 648 Max, 1GB of DDRAM (333MHz), MSI GeForce 4 MX 460, SoundBlaster Live! player 1024, pci card with aditional USB 2.0 ports (NEC chipset), SIS 900 pci NIC, 2x WesternDigital Caviar 1200JB, pci IDE controller SiliconImage 0680a (harddisks are not connected as RAID), DVD-ROM Pioneer, DVD burner LG GSA-4163B.
I have tried to connect VOX directly to USB port on motherboard and also to NEC USB pci card, but it did not work anyway.
I have disconnected all USB devices from the computer, except the mouse.
Windows is updated from MS Windowsupdate website. I use Windows XP SP2 firewall and Microsoft Antispyware beta and antivirus software (I have tried to turn them off during the TV VOX installation, but it did not help).
And I also use power supply for TV VOX.

Bought hp printer (1000) and can't find the usb cable in the box to set it up. Another?

Bought a deskjet 1000 printer and there was no usb in the box to set it up. Can I get another or do I have to buy it? If so, can I just get it through you? I'm a teacher and had to buy it on my own for my classroom (no money for us) and I wonder if you have a teacher discount. Buying the printer was rediculous and now I have to spend more money...on classroom related stuff. I won't start.

Hi,
Many printers now do not have USB cables in their boxes. You have to buy one for yourself. This practice is acceptable for network printers but why including USB only printers. One USB cable may cost up to 15% of a printer therefore BYO probably is the way many vendors look at this now.
Regards.

Pixel Distortion - HELP!!

I have a problem in certain pictures with pixels distorting in LR. Its not a preview problem because the distortion comes along if I export the file. Here are two sample side-by-side screen grabs:
http://clarkcreative.ca/l-psd_r-LR.png
http://clarkcreative.ca/l-psd_r-LR_2.png
Left side - Photoshop, Right side - Lightroom. (opened in PSD via lightroom edit command)
200% crops. Its a jpg capture. There are no adjustments/presets applied to either. I have tried to re-import renamed/tiff but I get the same results. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

An Intel Pentium 4.
I also noticed that those strange pixels remain uneffected when you do crazy things with the exposure, contrast, brightness, recovery, etc, even though the rest of the image gets altered. It's like they are holes in the images. It's definately a bug.
Good luck. I'll keep shooting RAW so I won't have that problem (Nikon D70s).

Vox USB 2.0 Drivers for Winxp SP2

Hi,
Could someone please direct me to newest drivers for The Vox USB 2.0 WinXp SP2. All I've been able to find are the same drivers which are issued with the included CD. I've searched on the forum, MSI site and on this FTP site;
[please do not post MSI FTP links - Stu]
This Version: msi pvs3.0 beta2 2005225.zip <--- could not find
Stus Version: MSIPVS Test 3.0 Build 079.540 <--- coud not find
Thank You,

the most recent drivers are these ones here:

there are no later versions

Msi pvs does not see my vox usb tv tuner

my friend gave me a vox usb tv tuner so i installed the driver and the msi pvs software but the pvs software says "cannot detect device...."
anyone know wat i could do about this????

First of all the vox usb tv tuner will operate on Xp home SP2.
If you open the device manager, then Sound, video and game controllers you will probably see that USB2820 has been installed.
You must have MSI MS8609 Video installed as MSI PVS or MSI PVS 3 will only talk to the drive of this name.
Both drivers are provided by eMPIA technology and maybe the vox identifies itself as USB2820.
You will notice I posted the same problem a few days ago.
A partial solution I found was to uninstall USB2820 drivers and install the MSI MS8609 Video driver. I have not been able to install the driver of 2005 as found on the
MSI site but can install the 2004 version that came with my vox CD. The partial solution is the schedule/record function of MSI PVS 3 does not work with this driver so
I must run MSP PVS for the schedule/record function.
