Well it's finally so far. I've bought my mediaPC. It's a Compaq D510 SFF, 2 Ghz, 512Mb memory, 200 Gb harddisk and on top of that a beautifull Samsung 21" LCD television. The system works perfect and is very silent.
Time to install MediaCenter and check if it works.
MP3 play beautifully. The new interface for browsing is a beaut.
But now the TV tuner. The scan finds only the following 3 channels:
channel 45
Video Composite
Video SVideo
I've tried several setting (cable, antenne). The country is set to 31 (netherlands).
The cable companies in the Netherlands have their channel a bit off the regular channel frequencies (written down as 31- or 31+), maybe that has something to do with it (the software delivered with the PCTV Pro does find all the channels).
Earlier I tried to use another TV card on another computer with about the same result.
I'm using a Pinnacle PCTV Pro (TV, Radio, VCR) with remote control.
Got any clues?
Paul.
