Can Use Tuner Card For Other Inputs?
Jun 13, 2009
I took the card from my parent 4 year old HP and installed it on my computer. Windows Vista installed the correct drivers and says ready to use. I'm not using it for cable, but I am using it for hooking video game systems like the Wii and X Box. Windows Media Center tries to use it for cable but it doesn't set up correctly because it can't detect anything. Is there a way to use the tuner card for other inputs rather then just cable?

I would like to use my Vista Media Center as a DVR using a Media Extender. I have digital cable (Comcast). I would be using it just to watch recorded shows on my HDTV using a Media Extender and would not be watching TV on my PC. I want a HDTV tuner card that will record programs from my digital cable using Media Center Software, not proprietary software. Any HDTV tuner cards fit this bill? Can be PCI or USB cards (my PCIe is taken by my graphics card.).

I recently got a Dell computer running Vista. I have a Hauppauge 1250 internal tuner card installed and digital signal running through coax from a spliter into my PC. I know that I am getting a signal because when I run WinTV (the application that comes with the Hauppauge tuner) I am able to watch all the digital channels. However, when I try to watch live tv on the media center, all I get is static. I tried consulting with customer support at Hauppauge up.

Looking for some suggestion on a TV card that works with Vista X64 HP, and will work in Media Center. I have a Vista View in one of my systems and it works great, but they are about $100, looking for something a little less expensive.

i bought my HP pavilion DV600 laptop about a year ago with XP preinstalled. i later got Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. The TV tuner came with my purchase with the laptop. With XP i could use the TV tuner with Media Center perfectly, after i installed Vista it worked fine too i belive. a few months later i reformatted my hardrive and reinstalled Vista and my TV tuner would no longer work. I took some pictures of what happens. and some of the TV tuner card. By the way the Model is HP EC680 Analog TV Tuner I took a screenshot of this error with the error log In this pic u can see the TV tuner plugged in but it says its not installed

When I use to own XP MCE, after install, it said that there was no encoder/decoder and MCE would not display a picture on the TV tuner untill I installed a DVDencoder/decoder. I have now upgraded to Vista Home premium 32bit and was wondering if I had to do the same again?

I have been having trouble with my computer sleeping. I had just upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit from Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. In 32 bit, sleep worked fine and there were no issues with sleep. I installed 64 bit to (mostly) take advantage of all 4 gb of my RAM. Now, I have all the latest drivers and everything is *almost* back to normal (sleep and TV tuner (Aver Volar) don't work). Now some of the sleep options in the control panel's power sleep applet are gone and when I make my compuer go into sleep, my computer will always resume with corrupt video (very many white lines all over the screen) and corrupt sound/audio (static sounding).

I have been Googling for the past few days trying to find information about how to use a Vista Ultimate PC as a DVR. Specifically, I want to make it a dual-tuner over-the-air ATSC (DTV) DVR my ancient VCR. So far, the only TV tuner card I have found that mentions the ability to play back to a TV set is the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-350 card, but it appears to be a single-tuner NTSC card. I need a dual-tuner ATSC so that I can record two DTV broadcasts over the air at the same time.
Either an internal card or USB device is fine. Is anyone out there doing this with a dual-tuner card or USB that can play back the recorded show to an HDTV? Apostrophes: when in doubt, leave them out! You will be correct more often
than not.
Its = Belonging to it. For example, "Look at the sky. Its color is blue."
It's = It is. For example, "It's hot today."
It's = It has. For example, "It's been nice talking to you."
Its' = completely incorrect usage. Stop it!

I have a problem with a TV Tuner and Media Center. (My specs are detailed in my profile.) I have an Asus My Cinema PE9400 Combo card that has both analog and HD hardware encoders. OTA HD works great through Media Center, but analog has a terrible picture and stutters quite badly. This even happens when I record (without watching) and playback later. As a result of my troubleshooting, I have found that the issue isn't the card, but Media Center itself.
I installed TotalMedia (provided with the Asus tuner card) and all forms of broadcast work great. HD OTA, Analog OTA and DirecTV s-video input all have a flawless picture and no stuttering. Is there anyone that can help? I like Media Center and would like to continue using it, but the stuttering is just not worth it. Are there any utilities I can run to find out where the conflict is? Why does MC have the problem, but not other apps?

I have an HP m9000t desktop that is running on vista home premium service pack 1. Ever since I got this PC my TV tuner has not been working properly. I have a ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with PVR, FM tuner installed. So basically this is my issue. I purchased a 4 prong splitter to split my cable input to my pc and cable box. My provider is time warner cable. After setting up my TV Signal in Windows Media Center it seems to be setup correctly until I try to watch live TV. The channels are all messed up. It seems like I only have about 20 channels, some are local channels and some are cable channels but nothing matches correctly.
I also tried connecting my cable out from my cable box directly into my PC. This works better than a direct connection from the splitter but it only shows what I am watching on my cable box, so if i change the channel on my cable box it changes on my pc. And if I change the cannel on my PC everything is scrambled, so it has to be on chan 3. Can this just be an issue with my provider? Do I need a "setup box"? If so how much are they and will it definiely solve my issue?

Since I have upgraded the PC to Vista, I cannot use anymore WinTV-HVR-1300 (PCI) (Same issue with PCTV Dual hybrid - PCI-Express). Vista simply hangs while booting, the last driver loaded is crcdisck.sys. If I remove the WinTV card Vista works perfectly. With WinXP all was working fine. I tried to remove all the cards from the PC... the issue happens when I insert the WinTV or the PCTV card... Of course I also tried to change some settings in the BIOS without success.

Hello, i am thinking of getting a new video card soon, and wanted to know if the card i picked is better than my current one.
The card i want to get is the EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card.
My current card is the NVIDIA GeForce 8200.
Is the card i want to buy any better than the one i currently have? I don't know to much about video cards but I think it is better. If it is better, will this card run Race Driver : Grid, and COD5?

I have been using an SD card in my laptop for portable storage for ~6 months. Suddenly, I have started getting an error message saying that "Disk is write protected." The tab on the SD card is in the unlock position. I have tried using the properties window to change it but their is no option to change it from Read Only or Change Permissions. If I click on a folder on the SD card and try to change it via the Properties Windows the window says that it is "Read Only" but when I uncheck "Read Only," it says I can't
because the disk is Read Only. And again I can't find any option to change
ownership or permissions.

This morning I was able to access my SD card for my camera with no problem. But then all of a sudden I went to download some pictures that I had taken afterwards and the computer doesn't recognize the card. When I unplug it from the reader it does the ejection sound but when I plug it in it gives an error sound (three small low grade beeps). I put the SD back in my camera and the pictures are still there. Why is Vista not recognizing the card all of a sudden?

In the not to distant future, I plan to change my 8800 GTS 640 card to an AMD 4800 series card. I'm currently running Vista 64. I'm concerned that I'll run into a whole host of problems and will end up just reformatting my C drive and starting with a fresh install of V64 with the new card already installed. Can anyone share their experience? I'm sure someone has successfully made the N to A transition.
