Title: TV (fine-) tuning (with Philips MK3-tuner)
Post by: TequiLa on May 08, 2003, 03:09:32 am

I love the new program!

I'm just having one problem: I'm trying to find the channels using the scan option. I can see it passes by all channels (very quickly) but strangely MC says it found none except for the composite and S-video. I must be that it does not finetune or something.

When I enter the channels myself it's not a very good quality and the sound is messed up. But when I then go into the advanced options it seems to finetune and the sound is OK (Picture is still not perfect).

Anybody who knows what to do? Thanks!

Did you select the right country from the list? Cable vs. Antenna?

What is the brand and model of your tuner card?

Yep I did....

I have a medion TV card, which is probably a clone from a more famous brand...I don't know the exact type.

Windows XP calls it a TVStation - SAA7134 with MK3 tuner.
Manufacter Philips.

Next to that it also shows there is a Philips WDM tuner.

It works fine with other programs like
PowerVCR II...

I'd love to use it from Media Center though...

Make sure you have the latest version.

Then go to TV settings/advanced and reset.  This will let you set everything again.

The country code may be wrong.

Works fine for me.

I'm using Win2k SP2 with the latest Medion Driver.
You can find them here:

I reset everything, am using the latest version, and the country code is right. Still it passes by all the channels (I see them when I scan for channels) but MC still says it only found two channels: the composite and S-video...

I don't think it's the driver cause the card works excellent in other programs.
