TV tuner help Hauppauge WinTV PCI II (26xxx)
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? -- Nighthawkcb650 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nighthawkcb650's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/105380.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1196837.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Media center only will use a TV tuner card for TV so you have to make MC
think it is watching TV. For example if you connect a unit which can output RF channel 3 over coax then you tell MC you want to manually watch channel 3 over your "antenna". Or if you have a MC remote with IR receiver and IE blaster you tell MC you are setting up a STB and then use S-video out from your game unit and tell MC to select any channel from the TV STB which in fact is not a STB but is your game unit.

I've set up MC with a manual set up and I've also set up my VCR to play into the TV tuner card. When I choose antenna it only displays channel 45 and when I use the remote to choose channel 3 it gives me static. How do I change MC to where I can also look at S-video? -- Nighthawkcb650 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nighthawkcb650's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/105380.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1196837.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

You might do better with the latest drivers (and software) for the card
from Hauppauge. There are probably features on the card which the basic chipset drivers from Windows Update do not support.

Connect the VCR to the PC using coax since the VCR is outputting on RF
channel 3. You can not set up for S-video unless you have a MC IR receiver with an IR blaster connected so you can pretend to be using a Set top Box as the source.
