Re: TV Channels go out of tune on their own

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



The program MCE program Guide for Comcast for your Zip Code and the ATI
guide list (or search results) are different.

I have MCE2005 running thru an ATI all-in-wonder card. Depending what Im
doing on the PC, I watch TV either thru the installed ATI program that
picks up my Comcast channels or thru the regular Media Center Live TV but
not both together.

Now the weird thing is that media center doesnt display all the channels
that the ATI program does - Some channels that the ATI system show display
very clearly, MCE will display the same channels in Black and White and
with white noise - making it unwatchable.

My question is .... how, given the same PC fitted with the same hardware,
can the 2 software programs display the same channel line-up but some
channels are missing or unwatchable on the MCE system.

Any ideas ?

Mike
