ATI Theater 650 Pro digital tuner not detected / installation in Media Center

I have Vista Ultimate 64 with SP2 and an ATI Theater 650 Pro with the latest driver installed ATI. Media Center does not detect and configure the digital tuner, only analog (tuner works very well - get all analog and digital - channels in Win7 RC). Other tuners were detected drink they will not set up due to missing or inconsistent signals connected to them. I have installed ALL the ATI driver available in turn, including Dell (card/system provider). I reinstalled windows several times (at the request of Dell). The tuner has attempted without ever addressing the digital and cable HDTV signals. It worked the first time, in Win 7 RC.

Someone at - it a way to make this work? Thank you!

    Original title: someone at - there a solution to this problem of Tuner not found with Windows Media Center? I tried for several years to find an answer to this embarrassing problem without success.

I don't do this and want to switch back however, I only can now view live tv in Media Center. The tuner does not work with other programs. I feel like Media Center has locked the tuner somehow. Can someone help me understand how to get out of the deadlock situation.

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    According to the description, you need to know more about the Tv tuner and tuner Radio (FM) for Windows Media Center.

    To listen to the FM radio in Media Center, you will need a tuner FM connected to or installed on your computer and an antenna connected to the tuner to receive a signal. FM tuners are very similar to TV tuners in fact, many TV tuner cards have a built in FM tuner.

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • Satellite Pro 4260DVD does not detect WLAN CardBus

    Hello

    I had a problem with my Satellite Pro 4200 PCMCIA, which worked very well with 2 cards different Ethernet but when I tried to use the WLAN, it could recognize only a SMC EZ Connect 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Adapter (SMC2635W). I'm now running on XP Service Pack 2 and the big question mark is that XP didn't detect all other cards except the SMC a WLAN.

    I tried the Linksys Wireless-B 2.4 GHz 802. 11B (WPC11 ver.4) and the generic IEEE802.11b WLAN CardBus card 2.4 GHz/11 Mbps but XP has not yet detected the card. The power of the map light was off and blinked only one time that when I plug. Both cards worked great on my old friend laptop IBM, which is finally older than my laptop. I bought this laptop 6 years ago and never had any problems with the front PCMCIA.

    I have worked on this issue with my friend for about a week and we have no idea if this is a hardware or software problem. I first thought that it might be the PCMCIA 16 bits problem but I think that the SMC card is also not the 16 a bit. I did update the BIOS but I don't think it will make all the differences, if I did. Please help me solve this problem that I'm dying to know what really happened. Thank you!

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Well, the 4200 Pro Satellite does not for me but I found something on the Sat Pro 4220. This laptop supports PC - Card16 - bit PCMCIA and CardBus 32-bit (2 x PCMCIA type II) or 1 x PCMCIA type III
    In this case I don't think that it? s a matter of 16 bits.

    What you can do is to try to change the settings in the BIOS.
    In the "configuration" box, you can set the configuration of the device to "devices".
    In addition, in the "PC card" box, you can change the mode of the controller "CCIP compatible" or ' cardbus/16-bit' or 'automatic selection '.

    Try all the settings. Maybe one of them will be working.

  • Windows Media Center TV tuner not detected

    My current operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    (I installed SP2 from microsoft.com)
    I have the Version of the Windows Media Center - Windows Vista 6.0.6002.18030 software (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357).  I'm trying to watch TV on my laptop.  I have Windows Media Center and am confused about the version because I saw this - if the version number is 6.0.6001.18000, you are NOT running Windows Media Center TV Pack.  You are running the version of Windows Media Center, which is included in Windows Vista or in Windows Vista SP1.
     
    As you can see my version (numbers) are alittle different on the end, also the info in parentheses (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) I don't know what that means.  When I tried to configure the tv signal in Windows Media Center, I was told: the TV signal cannot be configured because no tv tuner hardware was detected. So, how can I find out if there is an internal tv tuner installed and everything is not detected?  My laptop is new - 3 weeks, and I think that all the drivers are current.   While they inspected the help windows vista hardware compatibility list for 64-bit vista tv tuners, I was flooded for more information that I knew what to do with.  I'm obviously not a computer genius and will never be.  I'm open to suggestions.  I just need to know what I have to do to be able to watch TV on my laptop.  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

  • Do not install driver for media center M7000

    Hi all: for the first time here. Full of hope! Recently repaired a system Media Center M7000. Was able to get most of the pilots of the HP excelllent site. However, the audio driver listed when downloaded and loaded into the system just didn't work. Tried to RUN the site as well, and also, nothing positive has happened.

    I remembered then, I got the work done on a new system with a motherboard Asus and recalled all pilot had a sound driver. No not even load disk driver m/b, but was able to go to the site Asus driver and download driver from there. Worked perfectly on the media center with Win XP Pro. For later use, I would like to know why the driver listed on the HP download site would not work, but he said it was the correct driver. One was listed, there would be no confusiong courses by selecting one of, say, five or six audio drivers. I have same woked my way down the list of pilot, hopeing to get a workable driver for the Media Center. No luck. Really appreciate the help on this one, because I am sure that I have will meet this situation once again, since I'm a repair technician. Thanks a lot, estimated Jim S

    Thanks for such a quick response and recommendation. Downloaded, saved and hope for happier days. Once again, thanks a lot. Jim S

  • Can not play music in media center 2004 on Satellite P15-S470

    Hello

    Last weekend, I upgraded Windows XP Media Center SP1 to SP2 (because MS no longer supports it) on laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 to my father. Tonight, I found that his Media Center 2004 refuses to read audio CDs audio error: "To play music in media center, install Windows Media Player 9 or a repair."

    After a long search on the Internet (e.g., newsgroups and forums), I found this a known issue since the release of SP2 in 2004. He worked before SP2 and other music players (for example, Windows Media Player (WMP) v10 and iTunes v6.x) have no problem. I tried to use Registry MCE 2004 provided by Toshiba and HP fixes (just for fun) and restart, but they did not help.

    Is there anything else to try next to the clean installation of SP2 and the BONE with its software? I was about to update WMP to v11, but I discovered that it does not work in MCE 2004. :(

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Hello

    Is there any problem, indicated in the device (sound card) Manager?
