Re: Media center tv tuner video error "file missing/currupt"

The video error can refer to either your graphics card or your tuner card
drivers having a problem.
If you can play a DVD with MCE or a previously recorded TV program then your
decoder and graphics card are fine and you probably need to reinstall the
MCE drivers for your tuner card.
The memory error referes to either RAM memory or Disk space. If a
reboot/restart eliminated it then it was becasue one program was not
realeasing memory as it should when you closed it and eventulaly there was
not Ram lefte available. This is called a memory leask and sometimes can
take weeks before you run out of memory again.
