Windows Media Center - recording Eskild Kjær-Madsen 11.07.2007 10:38:01 All accessable live channels are working perfectly. But I want to record a file from my old analog video-machine. I have a Pinnacle 110i tv-tuner. And before installing Vista this was possible. What can do to open this option in WMC? -- eski0000

Re: Windows Media Center - recording "Cal Bear '66" <xxx[ at ]xxx.org> 11.07.2007 17:30:09 Does this tuner have line level audio inputs and a composite or S-video input connector? In MC setup, you can tell it to use these inputs instead of the antenna input. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!

RE: Windows Media Center - recording Bob J 11.07.2007 22:44:01 If you have digital TV input you will have to set it up as mentioned by Cal Bear '66. I do not have DTV reception. -- Regards Bob J "Eskild Kjær-Madsen" wrote: [Quoted Text] > All accessable live channels are working perfectly.

RE: Windows Media Center - recording Eskild Kjær-Madsen 12.07.2007 07:48:04 Thank you for your assistance, Bob J and Cal Bear '66. I have only one - analog -TV-connection. And I have changed nothing to that, only installed Vista. Therefore, I think, I should still be able to come through. Unfortunately I have that problem, that my WMC has Danish texting. So I have not been able to find >Scan for more services<. Would you be so kind as to describe a little more specific, how I can find it. Another question: Where can I find a manual to WMC? -- eski0000 "Bob J" wrote: [Quoted Text] > If you have digital TV input you will have to set it up as mentioned by Cal > Bear '66. > I do not have DTV reception. > -- > Regards > Bob J > > > "Eskild Kjær-Madsen" wrote: > > > All accessable live channels are working perfectly.

RE: Windows Media Center - recording Bob J 12.07.2007 09:28:02 The setup of cables etc. is just think of your computer as a TV. 1. Ant cable connect to VCR > Ant. In 2. From VCR . Ant Out .connect to TV Tuner plug. That's all the connection required. Insert a tape into VCR and play (leave it running so you have transmission.) Start WMC > select Live TV . right click on screen, a box should appear > select > Settings. In the next screen select > TV / next screen select > Scan for more services (it should be the 4th item listed) A box will appears giving the option of Yes / No > select Yes Another box with a Yes/No option will appear > select Yes The next screen will ask you if you want to "scan for more services" left click on box . Let it scan, when it has finished scanning it will give a list of services found, click "next' and follow directions There is a manual of the WMC Software, if you enter "Windows Media Center" in search. Let me know how things go. -- Regards Bob J "Eskild Kjær-Madsen" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Thank you for your assistance, Bob J and Cal Bear '66. > I have only one - analog -TV-connection.

Re: Windows Media Center - recording "rwh" <notgiven[ at ]not.com> 13.07.2007 03:10:04 As far as I can tell, Media Center does not have the option to select different input sources (i.e. analog or S-Video) from a video card/tv-tuner. The only option would be "tricking" Media Center into thinking that your analog device is a Satellite signal during setup. This would mean that you would have to reconfigure the Media Center settings after you plug in the analog device and then reconfigure it to Cable input to receive regular TV after you capture what you want from your old analog device. This seems like an awful waste of time. I don't understand why Media Center cannot recognize the different input sources from different video cards. It may be much easier if there were some sort of capturing software that came with your tv-tuner card or available for download from the manufacturer's web page to use instead of Media Center.

RE: Windows Media Center - recording Eskild Kjær-Madsen 13.07.2007 13:00:02 Thank you - once again. It seems to me, that 'rwh' is right. I can't find an option as the one, you describe, Bob J. Doing so, I get following - in Danish and with my translation in English Indstillinger - Settings TV Optagelse - Recording Programguide - Konfigurer TV-signal - Configure TV-tignal Konfigurer TV eller skærm - Configure TV og screen Lyd - Sound Undertekst - subtext So - you see.

Re: Windows Media Center - recording "Cal Bear '66" <xxx[ at ]xxx.org> 13.07.2007 14:38:48 Media Center (Vista Ultimate) detects, configures and records from the S-video and analog stereo audio inputs on my Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 perfectly. Perhaps if the TV tuner card has a configuration application and if it is set up to default switch to S-video or composite input, then Media Center will be able to detect and configure the analog input. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!
