Any chance the DVD decoder got unistalled or another got installed that may
be preventing it from working? Try reinstalling the decoder or download and
try the nVidia one (free for 30 days). You might want to run the decoder
checkup utility also to check the status.

Media Center suddenly stopped playing any Live TV a couple weeks ago.
I do not get an error message, the screen just turns black when it
"tunes in". My previously recorded TV works, but I cannot record any
new tv programs because i get an error message stating that there is no
signal for whatever channel I try to record. After testing my cable
connection by lugging a large tv to my backroom, which worked fine, I
decided my TV card must be shot. So I bought a Hauppage PVR-150 and
installed it. After installing, I am able to watch TV just fine with
the WinTV software that Hauppage provides. However, I still have the
same problem in Media Center...no signal detected. Any Ideas?
