Windows media center problem with "TV Box"
I bought a usb tv tuner for my computer and tryed to use it with windows
media center (WMC). It found the device in WMC and went into a set up thing. The problem is, when i enter my county (USA) it says it isn't supported by the hardware... well "TV box" is supposed to work with NTSC_M and if I'm not mistaken, USA's main video format is NTSC_M... The product can be found here but was bought from ebay: http://www.amazon.com/Cables4PC-Mini...9958066&sr=8-7 This product is poorly supported by the company that made it (their name isn't even on it). I don't know what to do other than return it but because it is from ebay there could be some problems in that. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? |

Windows media center problem with "TV Box"
Vista is not listed in the supported OSs. Are there Vista drivers available?

Windows media center problem with "TV Box"
Checking the "downloads" page at the following site, it appears that there are
NO Vista drivers available: http://www.sinovideo.com.cn/en/p/15/ Even searching for Vista drivers for the chipset did not return any results. Perhaps, if at all possible, your best option is to return the device. I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Musicmasteria" wrote in message ...

Windows media center problem with "TV Box"
Windows XP Media Center MUST come preinstalled on a new PC. You cannot
purchase it separately. Does the provided CD have a WinPVR application? It will give you recording options. I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Musicmasteria" wrote in message ...
