[Vox] USB TV Tuner install problem

I just reinstalled MSIPVS MSI8609 on my Dell XPS with Windows XP SP2, and in trying to record from my VCR, I see much banding and line-tearing at the bottom of the window. In addition, the video is out-of-phase.
I note there is an update driver on MSI's website. In addition, I've been told this update will install WinDVR 3. Is this right? If so, do I have to uninstall the previous version? Will this new driver correct the video problems? Or is it necessary to upgrade? Are there any other upgrades that I use?

Further to previous posting, I installed the drivers from http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=536&kind=10. I now have Win DVD 3, but with the device attached to the USB port, my system (Dell XPS WXP Pro SP2) it naturally will indicate it has found New Hardware and try to install the USB driver.
However, I'm stuck, because my system is searching to find the USB driver for this device. After extracting the zipped file for the 8609 driver, I clicked on setup.exe, a few files were installed, but on restart, it still can not find the driver. I even temporarily deactivated ZoneAlarm and Norton AV for the installation -- same results.
Is there an .inf file to complete the installation of the USB driver? I never had any difficulty installing a USB driver before -- it's a simple procedure -- not this one! Yet, installing the device from the CD, was no problem -- only with the new driver and software from the above URL. The device remain unplugged for your answer. Can you help?

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.

MSI VOX USB TV tuner PAL/NTSC settings

Hi,
I've used the VOX USB tv-tuner for a couple of weeks now and am pretty happy with it. Actually it works rather good for my purpose except for that the WinDVR program always resets the Device mode to NTSC_M. I live in Sweden and have to go set it to PAL_G or PAL_B all the time. However every time I restart WinDVR or if I try to record a program it resets to NTSC_M.
Today I also wanted to record a program so I hit the record button on WinDVR thinking it would work. However later it turned out with just a green screen and distored sound. So I discovered I had to force it to PAL_G and PAL SVCD recording settings and then it would work.
This is a big hassle to fix everytime. Any fix for this planned soon?
I'm using the latest MS verified MSI driver and WinDVR software that I could find on your website.
My system is
P4 3.0GHz socket 775
EPoX EP-5EPA+ motherboard
Radeon X300 PCI-Ex16 graphics with dual screens with 1600x1200@75Hz
1.5GB RAM
Windows XP Pro SP2
TV-tuner is connected directly to a USB2 port. No USB hub used.
Driver date: 05.05.2004
Driver version: 1.1.505.0

your VCR may use some form of MAcrovision protection, which prevents video piracy (or even legitimate uses!)
try another VCR and see what happens. have you got a DVD player or Xbox / PS2 you could hook up to test composite input. tried another composite lead in case that one is bad?

Well, I got MSIVPS3 to recognize my tv box but I can't seem to get a lock down on any channels. All i get is snow from every channel. No audio either.

But I don't know what to do next...
what I've done:
1.uninstall ndiswrapper
2.download firmware http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/data/f … .5.8.0.arm ,and rename it as "isl3887usb_bare" ,copy it into /lib/firmware

Well thats a reallt weird problem...
From what I understood you need ndiswrapper to run the wireless card. Is it posible to do it natively. Its been a while since I've used ndiswrapper but it seems the kernel is already recognising the wireless card. Uninstall ndiswrapper and see if the system does load it manually. Otherwise I would recomend you post this on the ndiswrapper forums.

VOX USB 2.0 TV tuner problem

Quote
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.

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.

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.

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)

Install help on VOX USB 2.0

I have made several attempts to install the VOX USB 2.0 on my system
(MSI RS482M4 MB w/ AMD 3000+ processor and 1 GB memory, XP Home SP2).
I have downloaded the latest driver from MSI and it installs and it recognises the VOX. Then I installed the MSIPVS application. When I run it I get an error telling me the application must close. I have also installed the WINDVD application: it works but slowly.
I did get one semi operating install of MSIPVS, but it had no sound. When I looked, the sound driver (Realtek 5.10.0.5178 from the MSI web site) had disappeared. When I reinstalled it, I was back to the original error message
I would appreciate any help on how to resolve this. I had great hopes for this product since I am using a recent MSI mainboard and the latest drivers. If there is another application to replace the MSIPVS, I'd be game to try that.
Chuck!@#$

I have the same problem.
When using the drivers from the original CD MSIPVS crash, disabling the Realtek in the bios, msi pvs runs fine and the image is good, off course i have no sound.
Using the new drivers and the new msi pvs 3 from msi site , everything runs fine, driver installation, msipvs 3, but the image is very slow.
i have tried intervideo DVD Recorder 5 , intervideo home theater, none of them is stable with the VOX USB 2.0,using any of their drivers.

any sugestion?

Nano install problems. Works on USB 1.1!

Twelve months ago I went through the getting an IPOD to install properly problems with my son's IPOD, on his all singing all dancing new PC. Only finally resolved this by installing via the firewire port rather than USB. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I recently got a Nano for my wife's birthday, but hey I thought someone like Apple would have got their act together in the interim and installing should be straight forward. Have they? NO! Tried installing the Nano on my aging Pentium III which has a USB 2.0 PCI card, and for which all other devices plugged into it worked OK. Couldn't even get Windows to properly recognise it "A problem occurred during harware install your device may not be working properly". Tried Apple's suggestions and other users suggestions all to no avail. Firewire install option is not a possibility with Nano, but finally thought why not try one of the USB 1.1 ports on my aging computer, and guess what it installed first time and works without any problems. Transfer rate is not to bad either 850 songs in 1hr 10min. The only slightly different thing I did (which some other users also say) is not to re-boot the computer at the end of installation when it prompts you to and start using Itunes straight away and do some downloading then re-boot later.
Not much comfort to users with newer PC's but if you have an older computer with a USB 1.1 port and have install problems, try it as it may work for you as well.
Like every one else with install problems on PC's I say "come on Apple" individually or together with Microsoft please get this sorted out. My view of Apple was that they have great products (still true) that are easy to use (still true) and install without problems (patently not true).
Pentium III 800 Windows XP

Gosh, I have tried this many times. Over several days. I have also reset the shuffle, which as far as I can tell, consists of turning it on and then off.
Last night, it started updating the music via the keyboard USB 1.1, which I know takes forever. Then it lost communications and quit.

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?

VOX USB 2.0 channel changes itself

I bought a VOX USB 2.0 Tuner today. After installing it the MSIPVS software keeps change channels from 1 to 11 to 111 and it won't stop! I reinstalled and that didn't seem to help but it seems the program keeps it's settings in the registry or something since it kept the chnl names I entered from my first install. If anyone has any idea what I can do about this that would be nice!
PS Running Windows XP SP2, Athlon XP, ATI Radeon 9200 agp.

I had this problem also...
but all i did to solve it was to end task wincinemamgr.exe and restart it.
also there is a new version of the msipvs software available to test.
