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.

  • Guide to Windows Media Center (Vista x 64) will not download

    The Windows Media Center TV guide stopped downoading automatically. When I try to load it manually nothing happens at all.  The Guide is now Virgin complelety (each channel does say "No data found") so I can't save this upcoing view shows, nothing.

    I found the answer here:

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itpromedia/thread/e123068e-8ac4-4e37-AF97-691b408582a6

    In particular, follow these steps:

    This happens because the mcupdate.exe process, downloading tv setup data, is not active which should have run automatically during the installation of the tv. So make a shortcut on the desktop with this path "C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe-manuel - nogc Pei" and run it. Everything will be fine.

  • Windows Media Center using only not to Clear QAM channels, at least some of them.

    So check it... I already updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 as soon as it became available last year and had been using Windows Media Center on my HP m8330f to record live shows with a digital antenna.  I decided, spotty reception because, as I plug in my TV Tuner directly through my cable (without decoder) and Clear QAM channels this mode of access.  After noticing that my old TV Tuner was missing several channels (not shown 6) I chose to add missing channels, as shown in several forum posts.  I added successfully most of the available channels except the two I wanted most, NBC and ABC.  Since my TV Tuner was quite old (double ViXS ban, card simple tuner), I decided to upgrade to the Hauppauge 2250 encryption that could be a cause for the missing channels... and more, it is a ban on double, double tuner the card.  Alas, the Hauppauge worked in much the same way that its predecessor and the lack of NBC (4.1) and ABC (2.1) are not found... even after attempting to add channels.  All that is visible is a "Service is unavailable" message.

    I am a customer of Time Warner Cable in New York and have had no problem accessing these (Clear QAM) channels on my' computer', the LG 32LH40 thanks its tuner internal.  Moreover, I was able to access these same channels via the same TV Tuner using WinTV v7 and Beyond TV.  This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the Windows Media Center software.

    I am a big fan of Windows Media Center and love how convenient it is (apart from my current dilemma) and still want to use it as my main media look at a software but I'm torn on this issue.  I don't know if you have experienced this problem before, but I am quite stunned, especially since I feel like I've exhausted all channels (which goes as far to add the channels first as a modulation QAM 64 and 256).  Does anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas would be extremely useful.

    Thank you!

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your help!  I thought both on the channel number, but I could not find a network ads everywhere about my service area (I had not yet known on that SiliconDust website but I just took a shot and that's exactly what I needed...) (Thank you!) ; or the information that I found were incorrect.  I ended up working all last night.

    After many rescan with WinTV and Beyond TV, I could finally figure what channel were virtual and who were not and add missing channels accordingly.  Remappe MC my 104,2 at 4.2 but not my 104.1 makes my TV as well as WinTV.  Beyond TV didn't display the number of virtual channel while parsing, so I was able to get the numbers of QAM channels how.  He was just working backwards.  However, MC had yet 104.1 (my 4.1 missing such as mentioned in my previous post) in his 'detected chains"(strangely)... so I added it.

    Thank you for this Web site again!

  • Windows Media Center is unable to output Dolby Digital/DTS via SPDIF... only stereo PCM is sent

    Hello

    I recently bought a desktop computer HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium (64 bit) 5150t.  The PC comes with a TV tuner and it works well with Media Center except that it cannot output Dolby Digital (or the other program on the air with JJ or DVDs of films that have a DD) outside of my A / V receiver.

    My Board has Realtek HD Audio and I activated the digital (SPDIF) output in its program.  I put the "Properties" of the digital output in support of * TWO * DTS and Dolby Digital encoding.  When I press the 'Test' button for either format, outside A / V receiver correctly recognizes the format, so the problem is not with my receiver.

    Read forums and online help notes, I strongly suspect that the codec MPEG-2 by default for Windows Media Center is not configured correctly for cross DD or DTS - it somehow always stereo down-Mix before sending to SPDIF.  Could you tell me how to check and change codec setting?  Thank you!

    -Colin

    Hi Chow Ho.
     
    This problem occurs because the DirectShow component and audio decoder MPEG2 in Windows Vista does not correctly support DTS pass through S/PDIF or HDMI.
     
    To work around this problem, click to select the box Audio DTS and Dolby Digital check box in the SPDIF Out properties dialog box or the dialog box Properties of HDMI Out .

  • Windows Media Center Setup stuck on 'change of Test channel '.

    I just reinstalled Win7 64 Bit.  I'm trying to set up Windows Media Center.  He went through different stages until he arrives to step 'Test channel change.  At this stage, he starts asking me to enter a new 3 digit channel I know my system receives and I do.  He then asks for another and another, each time asking me if the channel changed correctly.  I click on the box that says that this was the case, and then it asks for another channel, then another and another.  It does not stop.  It is a loop and I can't go further and watch TV with my computer in part built to watch TV using WMC (if I look grumpy, I am). I tried from scratch 2 more times with the same result.  WtF?  More...

  • Windows media center (vista) makes a gurgling noise in speakers when the display is active.

    Buzzing noise disappears in WMC is reduced to the minimum. In addition, no noise present during the use and display of windows media player or any other application. Only when WMC is displayed. All other inputs and outputs (line, microphone, etc.) are set to 0 and muted. Buzzing noise is not loud, but are noticeable between tracks, or when the song is paused. Noise does not increase or decrease with volume changes.

  • How can I me EPG of Windows Media Center to retrieve the Info for all channels instead of a few?

    I changed recently upgraded my old outdoor antenna to something much better. As a result, I now get many more channels. Some of these channels are probably close to 100 miles away. EPG WMC not being extracted and live online in the info, I guess that it takes only few of my 'area '. This translates I only find info for strings nearest while some other display Info not available. It is of course annoying and makes doing the impossible registration application.

    I'd like to solve this problem by trying to use an EPG that will pull information from over the air signal. While I searched it online all methods that seem to work for others are for people in Europe, or even for the older versions of XP/Vista of WMC. I have Windows 7 Home.
