    - Hauppauge 1600 and 1800 same machine? I know this isn't the Hauppauge forum but I'm asking here since Media Center enthusiasts like to try these things... Does anyone know if the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 and WinTV-HVR-1800 can exist in the same machine? (assuming you have both PCI and PCIe) Thanks Tag: add remove programs Tag: 185828

    - Black Screen instead of menu when stopping recording When I stop a recorded tv session (using the stop button on the remote) I used to get a menu where I could resume, start over, delete etc.. Now I just get a black screen. I can workaround by selecting the recorded tv button, but when I navigate back to the recording, it has lost all history of where it is at. Real drag to have to FF to the previous spot, especially with a 5 hour recording of the olympics. Any suggestions? Thanks, Markus Tag: add remove programs Tag: 185822

    - OT - Ghost 2003 "Read Sector Failure" I know this isn't XP or even MS, but Symantec is next to useless, especially for an 5-year-old product, and there is very little traffic in the symantec.support. ... newsgroup. I know there are Ghost 2003 users who hang out here, so here's hoping ... I had been happily using Ghost 2003 on XP Pro sp3 to make images to a partition on a secondary internal drive. I bought a WD 500 GB USB external drive. It works fine with other apps, including Acronis TI. But Ghost 2003 crashes immediately after starting PC-DOS with Error Number 29004 "Read sector failure, result = 1, drive = 2, sectors 6291519 to 6291521." There are 3 physical hard drives in the system - 2 inside the case and 1 USB. I *think* the problem is that the USB drivers that came with Ghost 2003 can't access the newer USB drive. However, Ghost crashes now even if I direct the images back to the internal drive. The first time I tried to do this, Ghost took me to the "Add Ghost Disk Identification" wizard. So I think that now Ghost is failing when it tries to access one of its "identified" disks. How can I "un-identify" the USB drive as far as Ghost is concerned? (Or even better, can anyone suggest how I tell Ghost to use better USB drivers?) I've run chkdsk /F on all drives (and all partitions); I've uninstalled and reinstalled Ghost 2003. These efforts don't help. Tag: add remove programs Tag: 185820

In reality, I want to disable automatic reboots until I get finished with the task at hand, and I strongly resent this stupid intrusion interrupting and complicating my work, I want to turn it off in order to retain control over a computer that is rightfully mine and not Microsoft's!!

    - Vista Media Center and Sky TV (Composite Input) Hi all, I'm new to the forum (plenty of great information around!) but have been searching for help on the above topic for over a week to no avail. I currently have a PlusTV Hybrid PCI (DVB-T 210SE) tuner card linked up to my Sky Box via a composite connection. This works perfectly in Hyper Media Center by simply changing the source to composite. My problem is I can't find any way to have VMC look at the composite input signal. The wizard only seems to detect analogue input through the RF cable, and the picture quality is poor at best. Any help on setting up alternate input sources is vista media center is much appreciated.

    - Problems with Sony PCVA IR6U IR Blaster/ receiver I have Sony VAIO PCV-RZ-40CG system with Sony's PCVA IR6U IR Blaster. Since yesterday, one port of this 2 port blaster has stopped working. For some reason, only one port is sending IR commands to the STB. I have 2 STBs with 2 IR bugs. One port of the blaster seems to have stopped working. I tried switing the bugs (to diff ports on the blaster) and I have confirmed that STB connected to defective port, is not able to change channels any more. I don't see LEDs lighting up when I change channels on IR bug connected to defective port. I have tried re-calibrating the STB and setting up TV signal again. When its time to calibrate STB connected to defective port, the IR blaster simply does not recognize the STB remote at all. Two questions. 1) How to I fix it? 2) Where do I buy a new IR blaster kit? I tried Best Buy, Fry's today and they have no idea what it means and/or where to find one. Thanks in advance for any help I can get. Tag: add remove programs Tag: 185761

Up until this weekend, I could get it to allow me to watch dvds, and then it would generate a crash report. Now, I get: ehshell.exe Process id=0x7b8 (1976) Thread id=0x1780 (6016) Registered JIT debugger not availaable. An attempt to launch JIT debugger with debugger with following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2) corbg.exe !a0x7b8 I now am not even able to get the Media Center to open.

    - Kworld PCI 120 with XP SP3 MCE Loss of Signal I just bought and installed a Kworld PlusTV HD PCI 120 TV tuner from Fry's on my Gateway GT4010 PC with MCE 2005 XP SP3. The TotalMedia3 software that comes with it works fine, but Media Center does not. It says "Loss of Signal. Media Center has stopped capturing data due to low data rate in the TV signal. ...". I have connected the coax from Comcast cable TV to the card, and as I say, it works fine with the TotalMedia3 software that came with it, but Media Center gives this error message. I suspect maybe I clicked on something wrong when I installed this gizmo, but don't have any idea where to look or what I might need to do. I have many years of PC experience, but am new to Media Center. Media Center finds all the channels and lets me select from them (all analog from cable, no settop box, no digital tuner), gives the correct titles for the show on the selected channel, but produces neither video nor audio. The remote doesn't seem to work either, although that's not a biggie with me. My hdwe configuration is a Gateway GT4010 PC with 1 GB RAM, 200 GB HD, integrated Nvidia GeForce 6100 video, AMD 3500 CPU. When I look at Device Manager, everything including the tuner looks good. It shows the following: PCI ATSC Hybrid Audio Device PCI ATSC Hybrid DTV Device PCI ATSC Hybrid Video Device ... The tuner card's electronics are made by Conexant, from what I've been able to dig up. I bought this gizmo to educate myself on this facet of Windows, but could sure use some help with this problem. Any suggestions? TIA Tag: add remove programs Tag: 185688

    - Microsoft finally confirm Fiji - and its bad, real bad. See http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1522 Microsoft have finally pulled their head out of the sand (or part of their anatomy) and commented officially on "Fiji" the long, looooong awaited update to Media Center in Vista. As expected it improves the current pitiful support for international TV standards by (amongst others) adding support for 'free to air' DVB-S, and MHEG-5 interactive services (aka. The Red Button). I presume it now also supports DVB subtitles. Now for the bad news. Not too unexpected, there is still no official mechanism for accessing subscription TV (for DVB-C, DVB-S, or even DVB-T). - Bummer. There appears to be no support for DVB-S2. Hello Microsoft - in case you did not notice this is the 21st Century. Already Fiji is obsolete and it is not even shipping yet! There is incredibly no H.264 support!!!! Not only does this completely prevent viewing of any HDTV (even free channels) in Europe, but some countries use nothing _but_ H.264, e.g. Norway and New Zealand. So those countries will still not be able to use Microsoft Media Center at all. My ghast is well and truly flabbered. And the really bad news is that there appears to be no obvious way for existing customers to upgrade to Fiji. Great going guys, what a way to piss off your loyal Media Center users. I have been waiting for over a year for Fiji to see if it was finally going to make the pain of switching to Vista worthwhile. Without H.264 support I would have to say it still looks a waste of time and money. ...any one know what the next update is codenamed? Maybe Microsoft will be able to screw up that (less).

    - IE6 Lan Connection with Proxy + VPN help! Hi, I have IE6 with XP SP3. I am at work on a lan connection, which has a proxy guarding Internet access, and this is stored in the Lan connections window in IE. I decided to attempt a VPN connection to my home router (A draytek 2800) using PPTP. This connects and works well, and I have specified for it to not replace my local gateway. This means all local traffic works and all remote traffic works concurrently. However I have discovered that once I connect to the VPN, IE seems to use the LAN connection to access the Internet, but uses any settings specified in the VPN dial up connection option. Because I did not have the proxy put in here it would not connect to the Internet, if I put the proxy in it works fine. Why is IE doing this and how do I prevent it?
