Re: Vista choosing the wrong TV Input type for me

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi There

I have the excact same problem on MCE2005.
First I tried with antenna...worked fine....switched to cable, and im not
able to change the "setting". AND I dont get an "Automatic/Manually TV Signal
Setup" dialog.

That would make sense but I don't get the option shown to me.

I get:

Set Up Your TV Signal
Confirm Your Region
Download TV Setup Options
You are Done! (TV Signal: Antenna)

The only thing I can think of is that whatever Vista downloads at the
Download TV Setup Options stage for my region (Switzerland), its stating that
the only TV Signal type available is Antenna Digital and not letting you use
anything else. Does that make sense?

Is there a way to force Vista to use a different TV Signal type?

Bit of a showstopper for me really, might have to stick with MCE2005.

Same sort of option is also present in Vista RC2.

Hi guys,

Just installed RC2 of Vista and still have a problem with lack of channels
being detected. In Media Center 2005 I got an extra screen in the setup:

Select your TV Signal

Cable
Satellite
Antenna


... which allowed me to pick Cable and everything worked really well.
However this screen seems to have vanished in Vista. Vista wants to default
me to Antenna: Digital without giving me a choice to change it, and yields 0
channels when it scans.

Any way of forcing Vista to use Cable (or for that matter Antenna: Analog)?

Hardware is a Sony Vaio XL100 with its stock AVerMedia Hybrid TV Tuner Card,
A16C (DVB-T/PAL/SECAM/FM).
Location is Switzerland, postcode 6300.
