Hey guys. So 2 weeks ago all my sweet hardware arrived for my media center. Included was a Hauppauge WINTV-Hvr-4000, which was supposed to be a really good TV tuner. I install Vista Home premium, slap in all the drivers and then boot up Media center. It took some fighting to set up(I think I had to install a codec, but I don't recall), but eventually I found my terrestial channels. Then I also got a firedtv box for picking up my subscription channels. I never got that to work. One evening, it just broke. Out the blue, I couldn't receive any TV. I reinstalled windows from scratch, same story. I found no channels at all. I installed 3-4 different media center packages like media portal, the one that came with my tv-tuner and some other random ones. Only 1 picked up the signal. Rest reported 0 channels. But the quality of the one that did pick up was very very very poor. So I reinstalled again thinking I probably shouldn't install so many drivers at once. So I installed network, graphics, audio and tv-tuner card, and that's in. I rescan, nope. No channels at all! At this point I'm getting desperate. The major difference I can see between the first time and now, when I do the scan, is that the scan runs much much faster. I have no idea if this means anything though. Anybody got a clue what I can do? I'm thinking I should get my tv-tuner replaced. But I'd rather not have to deal with it. ...
Anytime
