  Hello

  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.

• Windows Media Center "to listen or look at a conflict"... does not recognize the TV tuner

  I have completely exhausted the forum Windows Media Center for response to the resolution of this problem. I replaced my unit ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Ready, as well as my graphics card tuner, and WMC still says 'No TV Tuner Found"and the message" listen or look at a conflict - no tuner available to meet the current demand "when I try to watch live TV. I have also a "no tuner hardware detected... Please ensure equipment is installed correctly...» "if I try to set up the TV Tuner again.

  I don't think that my answer lies in Windows Media Center or hardware from ATI. I'm now trying to figure out if it involves this feature installed at the factory of HP listed on the bottom of my computer: "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium TUNER DIGITAL". I understand that it is the software and hardware.

  I would be grateful if anyone has answers. If anyone knows what this function is that was installed at the factory, and how I can uninstall and reinstall the software and replace the hardware, I understand that too.

  Thank you

  After unsuccessfully trying everything I could find that had the potential to solve my problem, I finally solved the problem myself.

  It's actually a corrupted Windows file that allows my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the ATI TV tuner works fine. Easier said than done.

• Qosmio G40 - 10F: how to set up double Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center

  Hello

  I recently bought a 10th G40 and I was wondering how to set up dual Tv Tuner in Windows media Center to watch and record the Tv at the same time.
  I tried to download the new driver from the Toshiba download page, but it seems to make no difference that Media Center does not give me the ability to configure 2 tuners.

  Any help would be grateful

  Michael Bowen

  Hello

  Found this useful Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/footnotes.mspx

  Take a look at the chapter * M *-> on MCE

  You can find this info:
  + Reading and TV recording features require a USB TV tuner or external. Supports up to two TV tuners +.

  So in my opinion, you cannot record TV and watch another channel at the same time using only the internal TV tuner.

• How can I use the FM tuner in Windows Media Center?

  Hello world.

  New on the thread.
  Found this site looking for answers to a problem I have. ?:|

  I received my Toshiba Satellite computer as a Christmas gift. I noticed that it is a cool FM tuner.

  I've also been playing with Windows Media Center.
  However, I can't understand how to operate the tuner inside the WMC FM...?

  I added the NXP FM tuner program to the "extras" on WMC, but instead to open the tuner inside the WMC, it just opens the separate program.

  Anyone know how I can use the FM tuner (or another maybe?) inside the WMC?

  Thank you! :)

  Hello

  I have no experience with this because my Satellite doesn't have an FM Tuner but nice talk on it you will find under
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=138027

  If you find the final solution, it will be nice if you can describe an own experience with it. It may be useful to other people here.

  Bye and good luck!

  That is right.  However, the United States and the Canada, MCE2k5 requires the installation an analog tuner.
  There is also no support for ATSC in Canada (IIRC), and MCE2k5 does not natively support the Clear-QAM (unencrypted digital cable) tuners.

  Could node busy, you give some details?  What country are you in, and is what tuner (s) you are trying to use?

• Windows Media Center Vista don't tune in digital channels of PCI digital tuner tv.

  I recently installed a new Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC? ATSC/QAM tuner in my computer. Its a dual core 2.66 mhz 4GB Ram running Windows Vista Home premium with Windows Media Center. The tuner is made to work with Windows Media Center according to its box. He also had his own software cleaner, IE. WinTV, which I also loaded. I have an antenna hanging good input on the tuner card. That same exact antenna wire hooked to a digital TV Gets the following strings... 6.1 and 6.2 - 6.3 - 8.1 - 8.2-8.3-17.1-17.2 - 17.3 - 22.1
  WinTV those gets exactly the same channel list and can display them all. Windows Media Center, after the execution of the installation routine, list the same channels, but do not think that all. Problem channels are 8.2 - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3.  These channels show in the guide as "No Data Available" and when you select them, there is no signal detected. Yet, channel 8.1 and 17.1 gave Guide and discover very well. It is interesting when you go through special antenna Signal: settings: TV: Digital TV the 8.2 problem channels - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3 list all the and are verified with check marks and show full signal strength. I spent time trying to play with the Guides Add announcement & edit channels and add missing channels. Also, I spent time with "Set Up TV signal" several times.
  Any suggestions? Why is the windows media center grateful but not display secondary digital channels, still recognizing and displaying the primary digital channel very well. It can be the signal or the pilots, because MyTV of Hauppage shows them all very well.
  Help?

  Try windows update.  I use this card with media center 7 and had no problem getting all the digital channels.

• Windows Media Center will not recognize TV tuner Digital stations live

  I am trying to display and record all my content from TV on my laptop using my hybrid analog/digital TV tuner card. So far, the WMC recognizes the analog content. But my cable provider provides many channels of ClearQAM I can see on my TV without a decoder, just using the QAM tuner in the TV. My tuner card is supposed to recognize the QAM signals, so I should be able to view all unencrypted content (users) that comes through the coaxial feeder on my portable tuner. But no luck so far. When I set up the TV signal in WMC, the menu only listed setup analog cable my cable box, even though I know that my cable company provides digital content.
  I had actually upgraded my Windows Media Center to include the TV pack (downloaded from Engadget) but even this last version does not recognize digital channels. If I try to change the Program Guide and add them manually, all I get is static when I select the. I am at a loss to know what to do next. Is this a problem that should fix a new TV tuner? I heard good things about the AverMedia card, maybe I should just go that route? Can anyone recommend a new tuner card?

• Error: "Tuner not found" with Windows Media Center

  Unfortunately, it looks like the only solution people have found is to replace the
  Tuner with another brand.
   
  I don't know if it's the hardware failure or something else, but looking at this
  wire, if it was ME, I cut my losses and replace the tuner.

• 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.
