alcu

Thanks for the help guys - really appreciate it. Tried ffdshow and it didn't work so downloaded the Nvidia Purevideo trial and now it works. Dual tuner setup is my next step! Might leave it a while before I do that though!

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. So does MCE not come with the correct Codecs for watching TV?

I tried it with just one card and have had partial success - it now does a scan and finds all the freeview services! Fantastic! But...... New Problem: when I goto My TV and try to watch Live TV I get an error saying "Video Decoder either malfunctioned or not installed." Does anyone know what this means? I've installed all drivers from Kworld - do I need anything else? Any help gratefully received! Thanks, Paul

Thanks! I'll try that and see what happens.

I meant to say - when I downloaded the drivers and tried to use the setup exe to install them, Setup said it couldn;t find any TV cards. But Windows did sense them and the "Install New Hardware" wizard comes up - then I was able to specify the location of the drivers and they get installed. Wierd that the setup program couldn;t see the TV cards though. Has anyone else had any trouble gettting a TV service on MCE? What did you do?

Hi all, Wonder if you can help - I'm pulling my hair out here. I've got a clean install of MCE2005 (fully updated from Windows Update) - everything works fine except it can't find any TV services when I run the TV setup (I live in the UK). I'm using KWorld DVB-T 100 (PCI) tv cards - 2 of them. These feature on Microsofts list of "made for MCE" hardware and I have the latest drivers from the Kworld website. I'm running a Biostar motherboard, Athlon XP 2600 and Radeon 9800pro with 512 RAM. I've got Direct X 9.0c. I'm completely at a loss for what to look for now - the tv signal in the area is good (I get max signal on my set-top digital box) so it can't be this. Device manager reports that the TV cards are working properly but MCE just won't find any TV services. How do I test if my TV cards are working properly? (I can;t use the DVBPlus software that comes with the card because it won't work with MCE). Aaarrgggh! Is there anything I'm not doing or a little tweak I've missed? How do I know that MCE is checking for channels on the right frequency for the UK? Any help at all gratefully received! Thanks! Paul
