I am from Dhaka,Bangladesh.
My Operation System is Windows 7 Ultimate.
My TV Tuner is AverTV Hybrid+FM Volar (A828)
I am facing the same proble.
Maybe there is no TV guide for Bangladesh region.
My tuner scan all the channels from Cable (69 Channels)
but display only one channel which is not clear.
I cannot change channel. I do not have any additional remote for windows media center except AverTv.
Do not understant how to set live TV from cable line onto my monitor.
If anyone have an idea please let me know.
Thanks

If everything doesn’t go well, you should contact the manufacturer of the computer or TV input card to get help.

Media Center computers are very complicated. There is no way I could write about all things that could go wrong.

Step 10 says “if everything goes well”… well what if everything doesn’t go well?
There’s no links here on what to do if everything doesn’t go well.

I have a good cable signal, but windows doesn’t detect it.

All looks so simple. However, I have a problem where by all goes well upto step 8. I don’t have step 8. My system goes straight from step 7 to step 10 informing me that the signal is a TV signal.

I had the SAME hardward running under Vista 32bit but now upgraded to Vista 64bit with the like 64bit driver but cant configure for tv and composite or just composite.

I have a Pinnacle Dazzle Stick (330e) and a set top box. I can get the Tv tuner to work fine but need to access the compsite feed.

Any suggestions?

Everything OK up to step 10. Then the next screen is not about the
“Guide” but next screen is:
TV Signal
Select your Set-top Box Signal
What kind of TV service does your Set-top box receive?
[choice of] Cable or Satellite
I select cable and after that goes on and with the setup of the remote and the channels on the Media Center.
At the end, after it recognizes the set-top [Motorola] it give me 17 different tries to change a 3 digit channel with my remote or the keyboard. After no one changes the channel, it tell me to review all again and if if does not work, just give up!!!
The thing is, the remote or the keyboard changes the number OK, but the channel does not change in the screen!!!
I am running a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista Home [Media Center].
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
Dan
