    Hello,

    I've never used MCE before, so please forgive me if I ask a question with an obvious answer.

    I've just installed a Hauppage Nova-T 500 MCE tuner card and am trying to use Media Center in Vista RC1. When I try to scan for services, it recognizes both tuners on the card, but it won't recognize any channels.  I've checked the signal using my STB and it's at 70% strength, 100% quality. 

    Can I manually add the channels by editing the MCETuningOverrides.xml and if so, is there a reference for this?

    I'm in London, UK on the Crystal Palace transmitter.

    Cheers,

    Derek.

    I am also on the Crystal Palace Transmitter and have a Hauppage Nova-T 500 too. I am experiencing the same problem, I had to uninstall WinTV to get MCE to recognise my card but before doing to It found all my local channels, whereas MCE finds none...

     

    Help please - I bought Windows XP MCE especially for its 'better' TV tuner functionality to no avail Sad

     

    Cheers,

    Martin, you should post your question in the Media Center 2005 forums over at thegreenbutton.com.
    This forum is for Windows Vista; and, TGB is full of Media Center experts.  Smile
