    TV Signal Set up troubles w/ guide


    I've decided that it's pretty much impossible to set up Windows Media Center to work with my Dish Network satellite service. I get my satellite service direct 'from the wall' without a set top box and WMC won't let you configure a tv signal for satellite without a set top box. I can set it up using the 'cable' setting, but I'm not able to get any of the correct guide listings. (which renders everything kind of useless - not able to set the DVR, see what's on, etc.)

    Any ideas?

    I've got Dish too. How do you get the service direct "from the wall"? What kind of tuner are you using? DVB-S? Brand? Modified? I'd be very interested and could probably hack WMC to do both guides and Dish tuning at the same time.

Alright, here's the rundown: I have 3GB installed and working. I add a 2GB Stick into the open slot, turn my computer back on, check properties of My Computer, and it says 5GB installed, 3GB Usable. Can anyone explain this? I am running Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. Much thanks.

I have here an Acer Aspire T180-UB7Z, and it has a stick of RAM that isn't listed on the RAM manufacturer's website as being compatible with the motherboard. I don't know if this is because they haven't tested this particular stick with this motherboard, or if it is incompatible. Basically, no...
