Windows media center TV problems

[TripOG]

arite i have the vista drivers installed for my plustv hdpci 120 tv tuner card it installs fine in windows media center it loads my tv guide from metrocast cablevision basic cable 72 channels, but when i watch the channels the video is horrible, static colors are bad and when i try to connect on my 360 to watch it freezes the computer.

compared to this

anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

I had the same thing happen a little while ago just after I installed the latest Nvidia Beta driver 182.05 but it only happened the one time and after it happened I also disabled the OC on my graphics card in case that was causing the problem.

 

[TripOG]

so what are you suggesting i do?

 

[Mark]

Well I wasn't really suggesting anything but if you have an overclocked GFX card you may want to change it back to default values and if you have recently changed the display driver try rolling back to an earlier one to see if the problem persist, if neither of those things help you it might just be another Beta Bug that needs reporting.

Same problem

I was having the same problem with the 64 bit version of 7058. I ended up having to revert to the 32 bit version as a result. Kind of sucks since now I can't access all of my memory...

Mine works fine

Using Pinnacle PCI express with Pctv 320cx driver.

Windows 7 x-64 build 7048.

There must be some defect with your Video Driver (Why is it always nvidia -- they seem to cause 90% of the probs).

Try switch off some of the 3D hardware acceleration settings / D.I.B overlay if they exist on your graphic card properties.
You can turn them back on if you need them after you've finished watching TC.

cheers

Are you using the nvidia driver that came from windows update?

 

[TripOG]

i have ati... and im using what i think is the most current driver from their website

 

[fugitive]

Yes i am using all divers that came with windows.

 

[swarfega]

You probably want to download the win7 drivers direct from nvidias site in that case.

I have a HVR 1800 tuner and recorded HD or analog content plays great in the 7 Media Center, but live TV I have a problem with the sound. First it starts to stutter and then quit working, but pic is still crystal clear just sound goes away, then I push stop and then play and the sound is back for anywhere from 30 sec to minutes any ideas. Using build 7057 really like 7 except for the few bugs and driver issues it is going to be quite the operating system. ATI HD2600XT vid card. Sound is Striker 7.1. Hooked to 46 inch Sony 3 LCD wide screen. The issue was also in the 7000 build.

2 TripOG: do you solve this problem?

I have exactly the same problem as described in first post. In WMC liveTV worse quality of video, but in same time it other software (ComproDTV) all is OK!

Win7 RC x64
Videomate E900F
ATI Radeon HD 4670

if someone have solution... HEELP !

Same problem here.

I'm running 4 gigs of 1066 ram, Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 on Windows 7RC, 64 bit. I didn't have the problem running W7 RC 32 bit.

I seem to recall something on the Hauppauge/WinTV site saying something about issues with WinTV and 4 gb of ram and 64 bit systems.

I tried using the 64 bit drivers from Hauppauge, same thing. I tried the W7 drivers, same issue.

The problem comes and goes. Every time I think I have fixed it, it comes back. Stuttering, bit rate errors, etc.

I just pulled out 2 gigs of my ram....we'll see what happens.
