Windows 7 Media Center Cannot Find TV Tuner Card Signal
Nov 8, 2012
I have two computers. One a year old and one brand new. Both are running Windows 7 64 bit and both are running the exact same version of Windows Media Center. On my old computer I have my Windows Media Center TV configured for channel 3 and the cable attached to my internal TV Tuner card. Then, to access different channels I simply use the remote controller that came with my cable company set top box. Never any problems. Now, I am trying for three days to have Windows Media Center set up the TV stations on my new computer.
The device manager is finding the TV Tuner Card that I installed. All the drivers are up to date. I can use WinTV to find and play channels so I know there is signal coming from the cable...the same cable that feeds my old computer...I simply unhooked it and attached it to my new computer. So, it's driving me crazy that each time I try to scan for channels I wait for 10 minutes each time only to get a message at the end saying "no tv stations found" or something like that. What could I possible be doing wrong since everything is the same between the old and the new computer?

I installed a USB DVB-T TV stick together with the supplied software and driver. On loading the software it found the tuner and scanned and found all the channels and the TV appears on the screen. However, when I try to use MC it says there is no tuner available. Devices & Printers lists an Unspecified Device but names it as a TV stick and says the driver is fine and everything is working normally. Troubleshooter says there is no problem to troubleshoot. I have unplugged and replugged the device several times and have also rebooted several times with no avail.

I'm looking for some advice for a TV Tuner Card/Non Media Center.
I would like it to work both cable and over the air.
I don't have media center
Remote included
Able to record
no radio necessary
I guess that's it.
P.S. I have 2 9800 nvidia cards if that matters.

I am a relative novice at this. But I would like a recommendation for a tuner card for my windows media center. Currently I am trying to use a hauppauge 1250 tuner card but am not able to get digital channels, only analog. Am using it with a digital cable box with coax connection. This card is 3 years old. Would one of the newer cards work better for hd tv on my computer? I have downloaded latest drivers/software from Hauppauge.

I have a USB TV Tuner which works fine to watch TV in WMC. However, when a programme is set to record, and my laptop goes into sleep mode, I believe it turns off the USB TV Tuner, and therefore the programme doesn't record. WMC support center says that the program is able to record when the computer is in sleep so I know it is not the program which is the issue.

Using a Sagent SBT TVFM card connected to a Dish Network Dual Receiver as a 2nd TV connection of Antenna, channel 21. Receiver is an HDTV for 1st TV only, so taken from 2nd TV connection, not HDTV. Under XP, using Sagent's software, set to Antenna, channel 21, receive TV fine. However, under Windows 7 Media Center, set to same, receive a "No Signal" Error.However, if changing channel either one up or one down and back to 21, TV display comes on for about 10 seconds after which it goes back to no signal.Have updated the driver for this card to the latest Windows 7 driver, using Driver Agent.

all started last tuesday when i swapped an ati radeon 4350 graphics card for nvidia Geforce 210 GPU,,i fully uninstalled all ATI drivers,switched off,,installed nvidia card,,restarted and installed new drivers,things looked fine until i opened WMC,,it was in 4:3 resolution and not 16:9 (the shape of the player,not the program output resolution) and it would not change shape,even though i had been through the setup and changed to 16:9,so i ignored this problem and went on to the tv channel setup in WMC,,it wouldn't find my tuner though (REALTEK 2832U,,usb freeview tuner).After many failed attempts to find the tuner,i gave up,uninstalled nvidia and reinstalled ATI,again,no problems with swapping cards over,but WMC will not work.
Heres what ive tried upto now to get WMC working again:many times trying the standard retuning in WMC,checked outside aerial on a freeview box,works fine,so the aerial is fine,from my outside aerial,i have 4 coaxial extension cables pushed together to reach from front room aerial point to back room where comp is,checked each cable by only using 3 cables,making sure that i have swapped eachcable,meaning i have run a signal using different combinations of cables,so i know that an individual cable isnt at fault,installed blazedtv program from the disk that came with the tuner,which finds upto 75 channels,but all pictures are badly broken up (mainly green and red blocks),with virtually no audio,,,i can hear something,but cant make any sounds out,also,no tv information (tv name etc) is available,just numbers that mean nothing to me,hilst writing this,a search on WMC has returned 14 channels,none of which are playable,only black screen if i press play,time bar is visible,but nothing happens,as this only happened during a hardware change,im fully confident that my signal is perfect,had great picture for 2 years with this setup and although i have had problems with WMC before,any problems have always been resolveable,h yes,,i've also reinstalled windows 7 as a last resort,but with no effect.
i've tried give as much info as possible,but feel free to ask for any more info,,im reasonably computer literate so am open to trying anything,,,thx for reading.p.s,,,i also have 2,,10 metre lengths of coax extension cable,but have never got them to work,which is why i use the 4 extension cable setupp.p.s,,,checked in device manager and the realtek tuner is showing under 'sound,video and game controllersand drivers are up to date.

every time i run windows i get two drivers with a yellow exclamination mark beside it.
Conexant does not help you at all on their website, and HP does not help at all because i have windows 7 not their 5 year old windows MCE
The two drivers i need are
Conexant 2388x MPEG Encoder (Dual-Input)
Conexant 23800 Video Capture (Blackbird NTSC Dual-Input)
each time i try to uninstall and reinstall them i get an error.
the software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the Hardware vendor for a new driver (Code 48)
This is weird because it worked fine on windows xp, but not windows 7 no drivers for it??? and if not how would i request them to get that driver?

When I first upgraded from Vista Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium I was able to view a TV movie using Windows Media Center but I had accessed the WMC from a web site.Now I can't find Windows Media Center, even when I press Start > and look in Programs. However, Windows Media Player is listed.When I press Start and enter Windows Media Center in the search field nothing comes up.In Programs and Features there is listed "Windows Media Center Add-in for Flash"

I'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.

I have checked two seperate DVD movies and they stop after the splash screens, FBI warning and Corporate logos, and never make it to the DVD menu.
This DVD player is an external player and I have no problem with playback on my Dual boot with Vista Home Premium.
Any suggestions?

Now that Windows 7 RC Came out, the Theater 550 Card doesn't work. I tried the Hauppauge card and it also has issues with Windows 7 (Freezes all the time). What card is recomended by Microsoft.
It seems as much time and money I throw at the RC, Media Center doesnt work in Windows 7. Worked awesome in Vista (I'm going back to vista... ewww) It's supposed to enable awesome television for the home, you would think there would be some decent cards out there that anyone could buy at Best Buy or Fry's.

I can't get eithe WMP or MC to play a DVD. I've set the region code. WMP acts like it will play, but then just goes blank, and MC says it cannot play the DVD. These are original discs, not burned copies. I have a custom built system, with 2 graphics cards (GTX 260 and a GT 220) 6 GB of RAM, and an i7 processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
