Vox USB2.0 TV-tuner: bad picture, no sound, external power needed?

Product: MSI Vox USB2.0 TV-tuner
Part No: G52-V2TVX04
Bought: http://www.komplett.no
Location: Oslo, Norway (PAL TV-system)
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad T40 (laptop)
Software: Windows XP Pro
Problem description:
The picture has weird (almost pulsating) colors, and there is no sound. Does not help if I change the PAL-standard to something else. I want to see if it helps with an power adapter but I need to know the voltage required.

I gave up on the Vox and decided to buy a Hauppauge PVR-350 instead. Unfortunately the PVR-350 also has some flaws (looks like many boards have a design-flaw that gives crappy sound and picturesound latency). After reading on a Hauppauge-forum that I was not the only one I returned the board and got a Hauppauge PVR-250 instead, which reportedly works much better. I can confirm that it did :-)
I now use it for all my tv watching and recording, and since it's even supported by MythTV I'm going to use this card for my homebuildt PVR.
Obviously, you DO get what you pay for sometimes. :-/

  • VOX USB2.0 has no TV picture on Radeon 9100

    Expecting that MSI VOX USB2.0 TV tuner will be great solution for me (easy to exchange between PC and notebook) I was surprised founding that it can't work on my PC with on-board Radeon 9100 graphics (9100 IGP chipset on Asus P4R800-VM motherboard). MSIPVS gets available channels regularly but there is no picture, some time I got some audio and that is all. Noting can solve my problem; I have replaced all the drivers (Vox and Ati) with latest but without results.
    Please help. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Cvijetic

  • VOX USB2.0 TV BOX Pixelated TV picture

    I am  runing Windows XP SP1A, Direct X9 ( not b yet) and VOX USB2.0 TV BOX .
    Everything is fine EXCEPT the TV picture is very pixelated.
    I have downloaded and installed all new drivers for Tv Tuner and graphics card etc.. but makes no difference.
    I know it can be better than this because when I first installed it it was really good.  Then I have had to reload the PC and since then a pixelated TV image.
    Any helpful suggestions very much appreciated.

    Everything is fine with my card as well except that the framerate drops down to 12FPS after the first run. (The first time after i install the drivers i get 24FPS)

  • "VOX USB2.0 TV BOX" drivers for win vista

    Hi there. I'm trying to install my VOX USB2.0 TV BOX on my Win Vista without success... Until now only got video working with Intervideo in win xp compatibility mode, but there's no sound :( the audio cable is connected on the mic in plug. Anyone has the drivers for Vista? I cannot find them on the msi website..
    Thanks in advance.

    It should be connected to your 'Line-in' connector. What mainboard/soundcard are you using? Make sure that input is selected as default Recording source in Control Panel, and is not muted.

  • Vox usb2.0 tv box compatibility

    Am thinking of buy a vox usb2.0 tv box. My PC only contains usb 1.1 interfaces. Does the usb2.0 tv box work properly with that interface or does it require usb2.0?

  • How do I manipulate & share pictures from an external drive on my Mac and PC using iPhoto?

    I recently got an imac, and I am new to the the mac world but decided I loved my iphone how bad could a mac be?  My husband and I each have our computer he has a PC & I have a mac and a PC laptop.  We bought an external hardrive to dump all my many many pictures on it.  The idea is we will not save anything on our computers but instead work off of the hard drive that is automatically backed up.  Ok now that you know the back ground. 
    How can I view pictures from the external hardrive in iphoto with out haveing to make an iphoto library on my external hardrive.   I would not mind putting all my pictures in the iphoto library as long as I could view or manipulate the pictures from a PC, does anyone know if this is a possibility?  I have asked at the one to one sessions that I paid for but they can't help.  I guess it also hard for them to help when I can't very well be lugging my desk top in and out of the mac store for help.
    Any ideas I really like the iphoto tools and it could be very helpfull, but only if it doesn't limit me to always working from my computer.  I have great photo editing software on my laptop and want to be able to access the pictures from my laptp edit save and later view from my mac.
    Any ideas?  I found out how to make iphoto open the iphoto library on my external harddrive but I am asking for more.
    Please help  thanak you

  • Set picture size & use external speakers 42TL515U

    I can change the picture size but it does not hold. I want to set the size and have it remain that size. When I change channels and return it goes back to 4.3. It is a non HDTV channel.
    Can I hook up a pair of external speakers powered by the TV? I have an Onkyo receiver but I want to power two of those speakers by the TV when I'm not using the receiver. I don't know if both can be connected or how to set that up. The receiver will be off but both connected may be an issue. The TV speakers are a bit weak.
    Thanks

    Thanks, it appears the auto aspect needs to be left on for 16:9 and the 4:3 stretch needs to be turned on as well for standard def stations. It might solve my problem if the 4:3 stretch is a good viewing mode. Theater 1 is what I prefer, is a way to retain that setting?
    To bad about not powering external speakers, the std speakers really lack.

  • Connecting a macbook to a tv:  correct cables, still no picture or sound

    I have the correct cables connected securely and I have no picture or sound displaying on the tv.  The mac screen "blinks" once when I unplug the adapter, so it is aware that it is connected to something.
    Current setup:  2010 13" Macbook--> Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter --> VGA Display cable --> Toshiba TV. 
    Also:  Macbook--> Stereo Mini to RCA Y Cable --> TV.
    If I hit system pref--> displays --> detect displays, nothing happens.  The tv is showing its default "I have no dvd in me so I will do nothing" screen.  I have tried changing the channel and input on the tv, restarting my computer, turning the TV on/off, unpluging and repluging cables, all to no avail.  The tv plays dvds just fine and is otherwise in working order as far as I know.  What's wrong here?

    Input button already tried.  It doesn't do anything.
    New thing:  a display icon has now appeared on the top of the screen.  I selected "turn on mirroring" which my television has blatantly ignored.  No progress.
    Also:  guy at Best Buy seemed pretty sure that the RCA cable mentioned previously would do the job for sound, not that that is working either.

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Is there a way I can edit pictures in Lightroom 5 on my mac and be able to switch to my pc if I have my catalog and my pictures on an external hard drive?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro and I also have a Wacom Cintiq companion and I would like to be able to edit my pictures on both the computers. I prefer using my mac but sometimes, when I need to be more precise with my editing, I like to use my Wacom Cintiq companion. I followed the steps to install my catalog and pictures on an external hard drive, then added the ''Folder'' of pictures in both computers but the problem I have is that since a PC and a Mac doesn't read the hard drive ''root'' the same way, it creates a second folder on my mac that I can't have access and I am not able to edit pictures on one computer and keep them on the other computer.
    Can someone help me??
    Here is an exemple of what I get ...

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

  • When I phone people can hear me without any problem, but I hear very very bad. The sounds is metallic and it is very difficult to understand. Have anyone idea of what is it about. I guess is not a software problem but I am not an expert. Thanks in advance
