    - Dual tuner IR problems I have recently upgraded to a dual tuner setup on my Vista MCE box. The tuners are both ATI Theater 550's and the STB's are both directv tuners. I have the Microsoft remote and IR receiver/blaster box. I am getting singal from both tuners just fine but am having trouble with the IR blaster working properly. It controls both STB's just fine when not setup for dual tuners, but in dual tuner mode it will never change the channel on the second STB. I have tried swaping ports and cables so I can confirm that both ports and cables are functional, but when I configure it in dual tuner mode it never sends IR singals to the second tuner. Any ideas?

    - Grey screen when playing both DivX and DVD's - sound OK When I try to play a DivX file or a DVD on my Windows Media Center Edition 2005 I only get a grey screen. The sound is OK. If I play the same DivX file or DVD in Windows Media Player on the same computer everything is OK. I have tried to uninstall all codecs and then only install DivX and DVD codecs, but no help.

    - Vanished folder Hello, I'm looking for help. I have XP SP2 installed. No problems until recently when a shared folder containing lots of pictures vanished from the system. I've serached for them all on the PC and they are not shown when i search the computer. I've checked all the individual accounts on the PC (6) and they are not in deleted items (no one has cleared their deleted items for a long time, long before I was last in the folder). The only change we've recently made was having an X-Box on the network and logging on to X-Box live. Anyone any ideas. Thanks for your help.

    - Closed Captioning Failing on some alalog and some digital channels Closed Captioning is indeterminate with ATI CableCARD tuners and the current configuration of Comcast Houston: (Note that everything was working fine for many months between Aug 07 and April 08, at which time Comcast made an network update) Working with several other users, including an expert I have verified that Closed Captioning, on Houston Comcast, works on some analog and some digital channels but not all. (Re-stating that this is on Microsoft Vista Media Center and ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Turners) It seems to be random, e.g., it works on PBS HD, but not PBS analog, but it does work on some analog and some HD. This test was done using several Microsoft Vista Media Centers, including those installed on a Velocity Micro machine and a on a Dell machine. This issue first appeared in April of 08 when Comcast Houston did some type of a â??network update,â?? the exact nature of which I have been unable to determine. What I know is that Closed Captioning on certain channels stopped working about that time. An example is Channel 60 (analog SciFi) closed captioning comes in fine on a regular TV that has the Closed Captioning feature, but not on a VMC CableCARD computer attached to Comcast cable. Our analysis ascertained that the problem is certainly some type of conflict between the signal and the ATI CableCARD TV adapter itself. It is not dependent on whether there is a CableCARD in the slot or not. I have tried getting help from Comcast, ATI and Microsoft and no one seems to be willing to investigate. Any thoughts out there? Tag: No Internet Connection with Media Center Tag: 185185

    - Vista Windows Media Center & Comcast Hi, I'm trying to set up Media Center with Comcast using a Motorola DCH70 STB. I can do everything with the WMC remote except change channels. One odd thing is when I use the Xbox 360 extender and use the remote on my TV the guide/channels work fine with the remote. The IR sensor is correctly placed over the STB sensor, but it still won't allow me to change channels on the computer. Any ideas/solutions appreciated. Thanks!

    - Does Vista Media Center add any metadata ("tagging") for videos? I'm presently running XP MCE, and would like to be able to add additional metadata "tags" to videos, to help organize and be able to more easily retrieve a particular video... Does the Vista version of Media Center add any functionality in regard to "tagging" VIDEOS? For example, the abilty to define my own categories of tags. I've read that Media Center simply uses the metadata functionality of Windows Media Player. If that's true, then I assume the ability to define additional metadata for videos in Vista MC is still is pretty limited. I already have WMP 11, and while it does a fairly good job for organizing AUDIO (as long as you don't want to define your own categories), WMP's metadata features for VIDEO are fairly basic.

    - Stop Media Center from opening every time I turn on the PC I am a beginner here but I can't figure out how to stop or at this point just get rid of the Media Center screen from opening every time we start the PC or just walk away from it.

    - Windows XP CPU Usage I am sorry, but the Discussion Group may be wrong - the selection list is very long and I never found Windows XP. I have seen many posts that are related to my problem - CPU usage goes to 100% and computer freezes. I have Windows XP SP3 and Office 2007 Professional with Outlook. Since I installed SP3, i get a freeze almost daily and have to reboot. Looking at task manager, the biggest usage is sqlservr.exe Network Service. I have read most of the posts but don't think any are exactly like my problem. Should I uninstall SP#? Or buy a faster computer?

    - Live TV & FM Radio stopped working I have a new HP m9360f with a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 card running Vista Premium (64bit) and 8 gb of RAM. When I set the computer up 1 week ago the Live TV and FM Radio worked perfectly. In the middle of last week they both ceased working. I have spent hours on the phone with HP who keep going through and reconfiguring, etc. I have even restored the computer to its factory install to insure no conflicts came over when I did the easy transfer from my old XP machine or installed McAfee. The radio finds the stations on seek but no sound plays (but the sound is working perfectly for everything else). The Live TV loads the guide perfectly and everything but nothing shows up when the channel is on and then finally it displays a message about Loss of Signal - Windows Media Center has stopped capturing data due to low data rate in the TV signal... etc. Yet, if I connect the same cable to a TV it works fine. Seems to me since nothing connected to that card is working now (but did 1 week ago) that either the new updates for VISTA are conflicting with the Hauppauge card or I have a faulty card. Nothing else has been loaded on the machine now from the original factory install. All help would be greatly apprectaited as I am at my last straw waiting for an actual technician at HP to call back and I guess bring the computer back.

    - Building a Media Center PC with a Dell and a Hauppauge PVR-150 I'm looking to take a Dell Dimension 3000 and convert it into a Media Center PC. I'll be doing the following: 1) Putting in a new hard drive: Maxtor ATA/133 with a ATA/133 PCI card to support it. 2) Installing Windows XP Media Center 3) putting a Hauppauge PVR-150 card in it to record shows 4) Using the Media Center application to schedule recordings 5) Using the Media Center application on the TV to show/play all of the taped shows. I want to be able to hook up the following to the video out from the motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882339047 It gives this warning: Please, check your PC & Video Card manual or manufacturer to make sure that your VGA card has TV-Out function capability through the VGA connector to ensure this cable will work for you! How do I determine if the video output from the MB supports this? One way is to just buy it from Ebay ($4 shipped) and try it :-) If that doesn't work, I could use a recommendation for a cheap PCI video card that will support this. Video quality is not super-critical because the quality of the recordings is not great to begin with. As long as my wife can watch her soap operas reliably and with a user- friently GUI. (unlike the Hauppauge Media MVP device) Any other gotchas that I need to know about doing what I'm doing? Tag: No Internet Connection with Media Center Tag: 185107

    - possible virus. Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I recently scanned my computer using norton antivirus and found a hacktool and downloader virus which I quarantined. Problem is that whenever I use my computer again it slows down and crashes as if it is still infected even though the scans show there is nothing on. Also, whenever i try and shut down the computer I get an error message saying "SVChost.exe DLL application failed to initialize as the windows station is shutting down." Also when I am online in safe and normal mode the internet connection intermittently terminates. I suspect that a virus is still on there... Any help would be most appreciated.

    - Firefox My Yahoo mouseover balloons no longer work, but IE's do Sometime within the last week or so, I've lost the little balloons which appear on Yahoo, when I would mouseover a news story, or a city in the weather module, etc. This only happens on one of my 2 HP XP MCE desktops. It only happens in Firefox 2.0.0.16. Java is the same on both machines 1.6.7. Settings are the same, as surely as I can tell. This is NOT, amazingly, related to ZoneAlarmPro (7.0.483) because bringing that down on the affected machine does not fix it. The little mouseover balloons work on Firefox on a W2k machine as well as on the other HP XPMCE machine. I asked Yahoo (actually, apparently, I asked a computer at Yahoo) about this and got completely irrelevant answers. Anyone have any insights on this? I'm posting it here because I have no where else to turn. Mozilla's not replying either. :( Thank you. Tag: No Internet Connection with Media Center Tag: 185040

    - Solution to problem with entering 2 identical digits on STB where only one shows up. ( MVP Awareness) I had a problem with my STB when I would enter channels with 2 identical digits. i.e., 22 would give me 2. 355 would give me 35. And I asked MVPs about it. While searching for something else on the MS Help and Support site I stumbled onto the answer. It's called " You cannot change a set-top box to channels that have equal consecutive digits in Windows Media Center Edition 2005" The article ID is 896480 It involves working with Regedit but fixed the problem. Now if I could only find out what is causing my #1 S-Video input to flash in small horizontal sections. It makes recording useless. Seems to be a bad cable but that isn't the case. #2 S-Video is fine. Set Top Box is fine. Is there a way to make #2 the DEFAULT tuner?
