Yeah. I just, after thinking about it for awhile, worked out your option #2.
ATI's media center doesn't work with Vista, (last time I checked) so you
can't use that.
I'm not concerned about recording on different channels and such, as I don't
do that anyways. I simply wanted to be able to watch TV with my TV tuner, so
doing the antenna idea worked after a bit of fanagling.

You have three choices:.
1. Run the ATI TV application in Vista just like you did in XP.
or
2. Tell MC that you have an antenna and that you do not want to use the
guide and always watch/record channel 3 and then use your STB remote to
control the channel being output on channel 3.
3. Purchase an MCE remote and IR receiver/ blaster which allows you to
control your STB input channel from the MC remote and to use the MC
Electronic Program Guide for live and recording selection.

I think that many people aren't understanding some things here; including
me.
I have a custom built PC with Windows Vista Ultimate x86 installed.
Everything works fine. All my USB devices work properly. I have an ATI
750
TV tuner card in my PC. I also have an ATI remote control for the TV
tuner,
which I don't use because my set-top box requires using only channel 3 as
the
source, but it's there and works fine for everything else. I have a cable
TV
set-top box. It has a remote control, which is the one I use to change
channels on the cable box. There is nothing else connected to anything.
My
cable box doesn't have a usb port or any such thing for pluging anything
into
it other than the coax from the wall and the video/coax/svideo out to the
TV
or tuner card.
On XP Pro, (Not MCE, just normal XP Pro) and everything works fine. The
TV
card and remote work fine using ATI's media center software to watch TV.
The drivers for the TV tuner card seem to install onto vista properly.
What we're asking here is why we need some extra remote control device
here.
(since we already have 2 of them. 1 for the set top box and 1 for the
PC.)
Why do I need an additional piece of hardware, which, as far as I know
none
of my equipment has anywhere to put it anyways?
I know the tuner is working fine because in the media center setup it
scans
for channels and finds the signal just fine. (It even plays the signal in
the little box in the setup.)

Apparently you are trying to use a STB as TV source. Do you have a ID
blaster "bug" to control the STB connected to the receiver?

I have Vista Ultimate 32-bit. My remote control is a genuine Microsoft

Changing the USB port for the ir receiver does not work. I really want
to
get
this resolved.
Thanks
