Once I tune "live tv" to a dtv channel 1181, from the MCE guide. I get a
picture for a moment, never any sound, then MCE freezes up with the last
image frozen on the screen. It will not change channels or respond to any of
the remote commands.
I can use Beyond TV 4 just fine - once I stop MCE services.

From their Web site I see that you have the correct drivers.
What do you mean by "Once I turn to a channel on the VBOX tuner"? Do you
mean once you select a channel from the MCE Program Guide? Can you record a
Digital channel using the program guide and play it later?

The emailed the newest version of drivers. I told them I was using
MCE2005.
The file folder reads:USB2-3560_BDA_Drivers_2.1.705.10_32bits

Does Vbox provide both MCE drivers and regular Windows drivers(for use
with
an application other then MCE ) with their card. If yes be sure that you
only have the MCE drivers installed.

Are you aware that an ATSC tuner will not work with MCE 2005 unless
you
first have an MCE compatible NTSC tuner installed.

Just purchased Vbox ATSC USB-2 tuner. Will not work with MCE2005.
I
have
checked the Atscchannels.xml and the info is correct. Once I turn
to a
channel on the vbox tuner, I have video for a short moment, Never
any
sound,
then it freezes up. I have to alt ctn del and shut down MCE. I
have
contacted Vbox and they sent me newer drivers than what came with CD
(which
was the same files that Windows had).
I downloaded Beyond TV 4 (trial version). It works great - Picture
quality
and sound is excellent. This trial is up in 19 days. I really need
a
fix
for MCE2005. Any suggestions?
