Download internet tv beta windows media center

Media center did try to display the tv signal but a error occurred. Without typing the entire error it basically said that trying to run both programs at the same time won't work. I appreciate all of your suggestions and if you can think of anything else, please post again.

Thanks Scrubz. Thursday, February 19, AM. I have posted a url of a review of the tuner below. I will leave it to you to decide that, but you might be enlightened after reading the article.

My suggestion is a different tuner card. Thursday, February 19, PM. Hi Newnerd, I did look at that article and fortunately I did not have the issues that they had. The installs and reinstall have gone smooth, the only time when I had a issue is when I installed under the vista compatibility mode which was corrected after a windows update. I'm using driver 5.

Either way I do agree that it something that media center does not like about the card. I'm sure you know that anything that says compatible or certified doesn't mean perfection. Do you have any recommendations on any PCI tuner card or cards that works the best or has the most compatibility with media center? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Scrubz. Friday, February 20, AM. The most recent tuners are utilizing those slots because of the additional bandwidth and it makes HD digital work best.

I am using all Hauppauge HVR tuners. The ASTC antenna input can be used for cable clear unencrypted over the air channels QAM if you enable it in the registry with available code. If you need the registry change aps I can email them to you. Hauppauge sent me the simple instructions and a whole packet of automatic registry change aps for all their cable clear QAM capable tuners. All the following Hauppauge tuners can tune cable clear QAM channels: , , , , q, , , There are no tuners on the market for home-built pcs that will work with premium cable channels thru Media Center.

For that feature you have to buy a pre-built pc from a OEM manufacturer who can insure that DRM rights aren't violated.

There are proponents of other cards which may work just as good or better ATI and AverMedia are the most mentioned. You should decide for yourself after researching a TV tuner if it fits your needs and PC hardware I don't have any knowledge of all your equipment.

I will probably pick one up and yes I will take you up on your offer for the registry change aps. I plan on purchasing Win 7 when it goes retail. I have been very happy with the beta so far and of course being old school I'll probably run it dual boot with XP Pro. Thanks, I really appreciate all of your help and suggestions.

Hi Scrubz: If you want to run HD tv programs be sure you have a pretty good video card. I think your board has an AGP slot for graphics. There should be some fairly good video cards that work with AGP but I haven't worked with an AGP graphics card since Windows 98 so I can't tell you what you need and even if you'll have good results with an AGP video card.

You should consider going with a new build before investing more in your present set-up though. You'd be much better off going with a PC with more modern hardware even if your present one works currently.

You'd be much more likely to be happy with the results than up-grading your current PC with borderline capacity to do what you'd like to do. As far as sending you the Hauppauge "Fiji" registry aps, I'm not sure how to do that without posting email addresses here, which probably is tabu?

Friday, February 20, PM. Hi Newnerd, Windows 98 ouch. Unfortunately I'm not ready to retire my AMD FX X2 processor, while it doesn't pack the punch of todays processors and motherboards it should be enough and so far has been able to handle Win7. For now I will wait on the tuner and see if Pinnacle will release drivers for Win7.

It does work I will record some stuff and stream it over to my and see how that works. So far my Beta experence has been excellent. I appreciate all of your help and suggestions. Saturday, February 21, AM. Sorry about the Win98 remark I didn't get a newer one until I built my first one, second one, third one, fourth one and fifth since Hi Newnerd, No offense taken, it was funny.

It is sad how much we pay to build or buy and how soon its considered old school. If you have any more ideas please post again. I have 2 Pinnacle PVTC cards running perfectly in 2 different desktop systems, both feeding off a cox Cable basic channel signal that does include the digital versions of the major networks 3. Hopefully someday down the road like maybe in 2 or 3 years per prior Microsoft experiences they'll figure out the bug s in Media Center so we can utilize it in Win 7.

Friday, May 15, AM. I have the same issue and have left the media center in this "Downloading TV Setup Data" for over 2 hours and The little meter never moves any further than its initial 1 dot.

This sucks. This is a fairly new install, with no added security or firewall or blocking type softwares added.. I can open browsers, and manuever fine thoughout the system. I have tried 10 time in all sorts of ways and its always the same place where it stop or stalls Ive checked for updates Edited by seb Tuesday, June 16, AM. Tuesday, June 16, AM. Hi seb I checked on the Hauppauge website for your tuner and it stated the following: " System Requirements Processor requirements: 2.

However, since your card is fairly recent it may be that the only drivers available for use in Media Center probably only support ATSC antenna. Win7 probably has drivers available for unencrypted cable QAM for the following models which were tested out with Vista TV pack: , , , , q, , and Only Hauppauge and Microsoft can answer that!

You might try contacting Hauppauge support and explain clearly that you want to use your tuner in Win7 and can they provide you with suitable drivers for reception of unencrypted cable QAM channels in the Windows 7 Media Center interface Tuesday, June 16, PM.

But that should change in the near future, so currently I'm trying a copy of Snapstream BeyondTV software, which works very well with this Hauppauge tuner card.

Thursday, June 25, AM. They presently offer all but the local low power over-the-air channels in both analog and digital and the digital version is slightly better. With two or three of the tuners a person could set up to record off the air ATSC channels, digital QAM and analog stations simultaneously You might want to wait before spending too much on tuners because all the cable channels are in the midst of making major changes in what they provide.

Some of the cable channels are even switching to "on demand" tuning where they require one of their cable boxes or some day a cable card and instead of sending all the channels down their lines they only send the signal for the channel you tune to and the box tells them what channel to send. And that would require a box for every display! It still gets hung up in the same place that I described above. I did un-install all drivers and software for all previous tuner cards but for some reason WMC will not setup up the TV tuner and go past the INSTALL point of downloading the program guide info for my zipcode or an other zipcode I put in the slot.
