How to use my PC as a digital video recorder (Windows 7, 64-bit)

Microsoft community,

Issues related to the:

I want to use my new PC as a digital video recorder, but I have trouble to know how to do. I'm trying to figure out how to get Windows media Center to record shows to my HD TV Box Charter? I know that I need two things to help and support. ((TV tuner) 1 and the TV signal source) 2.

(1) first for the TV tuner: I guess that I need something like this... http://www.Walmart.com/IP/Hauppauge-PCTV-801E-se-HD-Pro-TV-tuner/15125571

(2) what is a TV signal source? Is it just my TV provider for example Charter TV, live TV etc.

My computer specs:

Windows 7 64 bit

ASUS Essentio Series Desktop i5

AMD Radeon 7770 graphic card

TV provider:

Charter Communications

Any help would be great,

-TJ

Hi hotmishchief,

Please ask questions!

If I understand correctly, you want to know how to use the computer like a TV. To answer your questions, you will need a tuner TV and a TV Signal Source which is the cable from the TV Signal provider to connect with the TV Tuner.

Check out these links that will guide you in setting up your computer as a DVR.

Demo: set up a TV tuner and a digital video recorder with Windows Media Center (Applicable to Windows 7)

For more information, see the links provided.

What should I know before adding TV tuners to use with Windows Media Center?

TV signals that are supported by Windows Media Center

Let us know if this information useful. I'd be happy to help you further.

Thank you.

  • Problems to connect a HP dual TV Tuner digital video recorder

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6700 notebook PC (product # KC313UA #ABA) & s been with windows 7. At home, I have dish network (hopper w / a joey). I have a HP Dual TV Tuner / Digital Video Recorder that I'm trying to connect it to my laptop. I understand to make the cable plug. But nothing comes up on the screen of the laptop. The orange light of TV Tuners. I looked up in the PDF file for the tuner, that means that some software is not installed. I bought the Tuner second hand, so if it came with the software in the area of the orginal, I don't have it. I don't know if this the reason that my lapto is no TV Tuner or that I went step by step what says the PDF for HP TV Tuner, so I think it's a software problem. Maybe a download for usb. But Windows Media does not receive a sygnal of the tuner. Could you tell me where to find the downloads that I need. As long as it free I can get them. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    a. What is the edition of Windows 7 installed in your system?

    have b. you been able to connect to the TV Tuner using before WMC ever?

    To receive a TV signal to your computer, the signal type must be supported by your TV and Media Center tuner hardware. After you have connected a compatible TV signal to your computer, you can set up the signal in Media Center to watch and record TV shows and movies. I suggest you refer to the following article for more information about TV tuners prior to use with Windows Media Center:

  • How to use ken burns in a still video image?

    I have a video clip. I move the playhead to a point in the clip and split the clip. I then do a freeze frame of the end of the first part of the split clip. This is where I met my problem. During the reading of the judgment on image, I want to zoom in on a region of the freeze frame, for example a face in a crowd, I want to stay zoomed in for a period of time and then zoom out to full frame, and then continue with the rest of the split image.  How can I do this? I tried to use Ken Burns but could not do work, I could zoom in but not hold the zoom, then zoom back.  Thank you.

    To do this, use three consecutive copies of the still image.  Implement effect of the Ken Burn to the still picture to zoom in.  Now add a copy of this clip and reverse images of beginning and end of the Ken Burns effect by clicking on the double arrows in the Style far right button (see screenshot).

    Now add a copy of a clip between the two clips and adjust the large frame of Ken Burns while she superimposes one smaller.  This gives you the extended break.  Adjust the length of the three clips and you're done.

    Geoff.
