Screen of confetti trying to watch television through wmc

My HP with a TV tuner. I have the cable TELEVISION service and ran the cable hard disk line. When I try to watch TV, it lists the channel but I get a screen of confetti.  The hook upward is not through a cable box.  Built in Tuner is a digital tuner.

Hello, knsclean

Are you able to watch TV if you use a TV?
Which tuner do you use?

Check that you have installed the latest drivers for your tuner.

  • Windows XP blue screens or freezes during playback of music through speakers

    Every time I play audio through my speakers, the computer will start to hang and then eventually freeze for a few seconds, if it is not out of it, it ends up blue screening, but if I play the music through my headphones is very well and never crashes... could it be caused by a hard to die?

    I discovered the problem, used a bad audio driver. Turns out I had one for windows 7 and not xp, went to the manufacturer's Web site and found the right driver. Thanks anyway!

  • Z10 blackBerry I want to watch netflix through my TV from my phone

    I was wondering if there is some way I can plug my phone into the TV to watch netflix on my TV?

    10 blackBerry devices can be connected to your TV via a HDMI of microphone cable. As long as you have a compatible TV, where you can connect an HDMI cable. It works.

    The Micro HDMI cable is low at one end to plug into your phone and the other end of the cable is greater to connect to the TV.

    I do it all the time, watching moves through my BB10 in HD.

    If your computer is bad, you need to do a system restore. Since it seems that you can not stop, try to hold the power button until it turns off. If this does not work, unplug (if laptop, remove the battery).

    From there on, allows to do a restore:

    1. turn the computer on and start to tap F8 to get the start menu
    2. Select repair your computer
    3. Select System Restore
    4. Follow the prompts

    If the restore point is older, feel free to use the Scan for affected programs feature to make sure that no other programs are affected. Otherwise, I would make a note of it, as it will have to reinstall these programs. In addition, I was running updated Windows once your system working again, since you will most likely use a restore point set up just before an update. (no point in re-opening of a security breach)

    Hello Janette,

    Welcome to the community of Sony.

    The EXT of the Blu - ray player Jack is used to connect a USB FlashDrive as a local storage device. This USB key is required to take advantage of content (such as BONUSVIEW/BD-LIVE) on certain Blu - ray Disc titles. The EXT socket cannot be used to play media files from a USB key.

  • Just got a Dell Inspiron with XP, why does trying to watch a video, through 'you tube' or another he stops every few seconds before continuing? I don't have this problem on my old hp...

    problems viewing videos

    Hello Volbubba,

    Thank you for your message.  This problem is usually caused by 'streaming video', and can occur more or less frequently because of your bandwidth.  Make sure that is to play a video, you will need to look at the 'play' bottom line.  You should see the movement on this line during playback of your video, there should also be another line indicating how far along your computer streaming ability has gone.  If you watch the video as soon as it is streaming, you will experience a break until it catches up.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon
