Re: Is there a restriction on MCA concerning OTA HDTV in Vista?

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

AverMedia probably has a Vista version of their software and I suggest that you try that first.

Nigel and JW have been helped 100s of users such as yourself between on this Newsgroup in the last couple of years to resolve MediaCenter problems such as yours. I believe they are both trying hard to get to root of your problem since neither of them has apparently seen the problem reported before so please keep responding to their suggestions and questions.

I have found that my local CBS news channel does exactly the same thing as my local ABC news channel with SD news items on their HD news broadcasts.
The both have HD cameras in their news rooms and for manyof their field crews. However, when during their HD broadcast they show a SD filmed news item then add sidebars to the SD video which contain "HD" embedded charaters in the side bar. ABC has them horizontally and CBS has them vertically in the actually sidebars and they are not contined in an overlay to the broadcast.
They are doing this in order for the viewer to know that they are still watching an HD program which temporarealy looks like a upgraded SD program due to the presence of the HD sidebars in order to prevent them from changing channels.

It certainly does appear that the truncation problem is a MCE
configuration or zoom settings problem. In addition to confirming that
MCE knows you have a widescreen display have you also tried the steps in
Nigel's last post?


Yes. No matter how I setup my monitor, it comes up lacking part of the
video using WMC and HD broadcasts.

The Zoom setting is not setting up the monitor. Press the More Info button on your remote or click
on the right mouse button. Now click on Zoom. There are four Zoom settings. Each time you click on
Zoom it will cycle through to the next Zoom setting. One of these settings will fill the screen
correctly.

The zoom setting is not even being used in WMC, nor in BTV. WMC just has some bugs. I am going to reinstall XP Pro SP2 and use the software that came with my HDTV tuner and see what happens.
