Dual Tuners In MCE 2005: Watch One Channel While Recording Another?
Aug 31, 2006
My new rig recently had a Hauppage WinTV PVR-150MCE analogue TV Tuner attached. Following advice from this forum I was told that I could add any other TV Tuner in addition to what I currently had - it was impossible to add another identical PCI tuner because I am out of slots in my motherboard. So I got the Hauppage WinTV Nova-T DVB USB2.0 Stick - it fits in the USB port, provides me with DVB TV and doesnt have an excess unwanted remote control as I already have an MCE remote that came with the PVR-150MCE.
Now in MCE 2005 I cannot seem to record one channel while watching another. It keeps coming up with the message "Media Center is currently recording X do you want to stop recording and change channel?" - I want to change channel and KEEP recording going, why not do what I bloody well want and look for the other second tuner!!!) Why oh why doesn't Media Center use both the TV Tuners to its full potential?? I thought Media Center 2005 could utilize both tuners so I could watch one channel while recording another regardless of what type of tuner they are.

Basically I have run out of PCI slots now - I am not putting anything in PCI slot 1 as the heatsink of the X1600PRO arriving soon will overhang it making it a very tight squeeze. So my only options is a USB 2 DVB Tuner to simply receive DVB and HD Signals with AC-3 Sound. Meanwhilst I can use the Hauppage PVR-150 MCE which has the PVR plugged into its S-Video port to archive recordings from my cable PVR box into a movie file to edit out commericals later on and put onto DVD and free up the PVR so it can continue its series link!
I understand that MCE 2005 supports two TV Tuners so that 1 channel can be recorded from one tuner while another is watched from the other. However does MCE 2005 support two different brand TV Tuners (i.e. the Hauppage MCE PVR150 and a Leadtek USB 2 DVB Dongle) or do the two tuners have to be identical brand, model, etc. The Leadtek USB 2.0 is described as being compatible with MCE 2005.

When I click on the video I want to watch, the page will load, but the video will not play. If I hit the play button, it still won't work. I'm using the latest version of Windows Media Player, and my friends can get the video to work so there must be something wrong on my end.

When I turned my computer on this morning it looked like this:
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/492/desktopms.jpg
and I have no idea how to fix it. I checked the display settings but everything is how it's supposed to be. And I don't think it's a video card problem; I have a ATI card to watch tv and the tv works just fine.
Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?

I first thought It might be Norton Internet Security so I uninstalled it, but I am still having problems. What happens is when I try to play a game, video or watch any type of media my system locks up. It has locked up when I was dragging a open window down the screen too. I updated my graphics card drives just in case, but its still happening.

Is there a way of recording the activity on your screen. Rather than Print Screen which is a still screen shot.Say you are on an interactive program or on the internet and you want to record it so that later you can go over it to recap.Or you want to record certain steps to take, to show someone else?

In the days of Windows 3.1, I had a program called In Control.Before installing a program, I would start InControl and it would then monitor and record every change to the system made by the installation, every line added to WINDOWS.INI, SYSTEM.INI, every file added or modified and even recorded changes in file time stamps and versions for DLLs etc.Is there anything that thorough for Windows 2000/XP. I want to be able to examine such a record that would not only record file version changes and files added or modified but also every line added, deleted or changed in the Windows Registry.Is there such a utility that really gets it all, down to the last detail?

The problem is that the computer all of a sudden restarts for, according to me, no reason. It allways happen when I use Cubase (recording program) so that should contribute to that the computer restarts but it's not that the computer gets slow or anything because everything works and then all of a sudden it restarts and I lose all my work(if I don't remember to save).
My first thought was that the computer gets overheated or something but it doesn't seems to be that way either since the computer restarts and not turns off, if you see what I mean. Of previous experience I know that the computer usually turns off when it get's overheated (to cool down) and then after a while you can start it again, but the weird part this time is that it restarts directly.

I have been trying to install Windows XP as a second OS as I already have Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Unfortunately, after I select a partition, format it, and reboot the system stalls on the screen after the BIOS that has something to do with a list of devices and such. After 10 or so seconds a few characters and letters go blank randomly on the page. I rebooted and selected my cd drive as the boot device and accidentally didn't press a button in time to boot and a bunch of highlighted numbers were thrown all over the screen and a random smiley face on one of the lines.

I'm trying to dual boot 2 different installs of xp pro from 2 drives using the Windows boot loader. I've edited the boot.ini every possible way I can think of, but nothing works. I've done this plenty of times using a linux boot loader or dual booting from a single drive but I cant figure this out. I haven't been able to find any reference to this subject anywhere, but I think it would work. Anybody have a clue as to how to do this? I know I can use a different boot manager to accomplish this, I just wanted to make the Win boot.ini work. Or, does anybody know of a good boot manager if I cant make this work?

I read something on the Windows website that says Media Center Edition 2005 has a power option called Away Mode. The settings it has are perfect for me, but it is not in my powercfg utility. Is there an extension I can download for the program to get Away Mode? Please note I'm not talking about one of the Power Schemes. I'm talking about a whole seperate power mode available that turns off the monitor, mutes the sound and slows down the graphics and CPU.

I have dual booting on my PC with Vista home premium on a 500 Gb SATA disk and XP Pro on a 250Gb SATA, both internal. Vista no longer holds terrors for me and I'd like to get rid of XP and regain better use of the 250Gb HD. Can I just remove XP from the control panel in the XP boot or is it a lot more complicated?I don't really want to re format the XP drive as I'd have to transfer a lot of data and files

I have DirecTV and want to watch TV on my computer. I am looking for TV Tuners and they all say that it is "125-channel cable ready tuner". Does that make a difference if I can watch satellite TV through it or not? I haven't found one that says anything different.

I have had this problem before on XP Pro and never got it solved, but it is quite the nuisance. Whenever i login to XP, the login screen disappears and the computer goes to the point where it looks like its about to load the desktop, but it doesnt. it just sits there. after about a minute, it will load. the funny thing is, if it gets to this point and i hit any key on the keyboard it continues to boot all the way through without the delay.

I'm getting a really nice $2000 Dell Dimension 8400 on December 8th, and it comes with Windows Media Center 2005. Anyways, I was wondering if it had the same features of XP Pro, but with the extra media features.

So I just reformatted last night and installed Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Since installing it, I haven't been able to restart or shut down. The computer gets stuck on the background (no icons and taskbar). I don't even get to the blue screen that says it's saving settings and shutting down. Is there something I'm missing? I'm going to try starting up the computer with nothing selected in the msconfig and see if that fixes it. I'm 99% sure the problem occurred even before I installed drivers and such, but I'm running a Dell Inspiron E1505 with ATI Mobility X1400.

error when I try to record:
"Another application is recording audio. Stop recording with this other application and then try to record with Sound Recorder again." I have turned off all of the start up programs, restarted my computer, and even uninstalled TotalRecorder, which I thought was causing the problem.
I have tried to use Audio Audicity to record as well, but I get an error message there also, so something is really screwing everything up for me.

I have Win XP home installed as OEM software on the C drive of my PC.
I also have this OS as a Norton Ghost file supplied with the PC as a
"Recovery CD".
I have installed a second hard drive designated "D"
This all works fine.
I wish to install Win 2000 (which I have on a Microsoft cd) on the second HD.
I would then hope at boot - up to be given the choice of which OS to load.
Can anyone tell me what is the simplest way to do this?

Thanks to those who responded to my question on July 7th on Norton Anti-Virus 2005 acking as a firewall. There seems to be a variety of opinons on that but Norton has since then assured me that their 2005 program does indeed act as a firewall as well as an Anti-Virus software and unlike Windows XP's firewall it monitors the behavior of outgoing network traffic. The program did ask me if I wanted the "worm" feature and I agreed and it did turn off the windows firewall to avoid conflict. I asked about installing ZoneAlarm as well and was told there was no need to do that and it might also conflict with Norton
