Hi,

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and I use a VideoMate U2800F TvTuner (http://www.comprousa.com/en/product/u2800f/u2800f.html) which is MCE vista compliant and even comes bulded with the MCE remote.

I installed the MCEGUIDE.CO.ZA software, and started the process for setting up the TV signal.
I chose Antenna > Analog (PAL) and then selected yes for the guide procedures, etc.
I scanned for channels (my DSTV PVR TV1 channel is 53 (727.250 MHz) and TV2 on channel is 46 (671.250 MHz)).
MCE can not find any signals!
I checked using the bundled custom software and can see the TV1 & TV2 signals.

I do not have a SABC antenna connected to this setup, only the 2 PVR TV channels.

Any ideas as to what I can do to get MCE to find the signals, or
if I am not setting MCE up correctly to work with DSTV SD PVR please let me know which options to set.

BTW: The guide is displayed in MCE now without any problems, except that there is no TV signal conencted to any of the channels

Thank you in advance.

hi dtorien...

i'm pretty sure that your card cannot pick up satellite signals... it appears to only be analog and digitally compatable..

you will need a card that specifically receieve a satellite signal...
