Strange TV Signal Behaviour
Hi there,
I'm only new here, and I've been checking many threads to see if I can find a solution, but no luck so far. If anyone has any ideas, I appreciate it.
I'll keep it short.
I bought a TV tuner for my PC, a Leadtek DTV1000S and installed it and set it all up in Windows Vista. Worked no problems, found all the stations available in my area and worked like a charm. I was impressed with how well it all worked, and what could be done with the stations and recordings.
Now, I have seen some newer aspects of Windows 7's Media Center that I like the look of more. So I have popped in another hard drive and installed Windows 7 to give it a try. Everything has installed fine, latest drivers from Windows Update was easy. It has found all the channels in my area again, and I was pleased to discover it now can download the EPG data from the signal as well so I can use the guide. Very happy with that.
Only this is the strange problem. All the channels are found, all the channel guide data downloaded from their signals, and I can use all the channels but one. The station in question is "WIN" in the regional Victoria area in Australia. Under Vista I can use all the channels flawlessly. Under Windows 7 I can use all the stations flawlessly expect for the stations broadcast by WIN. I get their EPG data, they're all found and configured in the scan, but when I view them I am just told there is no signal.
I am confused because this problem doesn't happen when I was using Vista. It appears the driver under 7 from Windows update is the same driver I used in Vista (the latest from the card manufacturer).
I'm stumped, does anyone know of things I could try to actually be able to view this station?
