Re: Loss of Signal in MCE

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

Your pinnacle unit does have a onboard hardware analog encoder chip so analog can not be configured in MC unless there is also available from Pinnacle a software encoder driver that is MC compatible. I could not find such a software encoder referenced for your card model on the Pinnacle web site.

Yes I can play DVD in Media center.
I installed the card in my machine and started to using them.
I didn't configure to use analog or digital.
Could you please tell me how to configure only analog signal in MCE.
In pinnacle TV pro setting I see

PCTV HD Analog is checked
PCTV HD Digital Antenna (ATSC) is also checked
PCTV HD Digital Cable (Clear QAM) is also checked.
Do I need to uncheck ATSC and QAM settings?

Thanks for your help

So is the Cyberlink decoder selected as the preferred decoder?
Can you play a DVD in MC? If yes then the preferred decoder should also work
with your OTA ATSC tuner on your Pinnacle card/
Which tuner from your Pinnacle card did you configure the analog tuner or
the digital tuner?
Since the card is a hybrid tuner card which means that both tuners can not
be use concurrently MC will only allow you to configure one of them.
