Do you have DirectX 9.0b installed? DX 9.0b has a bug. You must install a hotfix from Microsoft. Try "Non-NTSC TV Tuner Hotfix for DirectX 9.0b (KB825116)" from this link http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8dfd1b6d-e177-4a0e-91d0-b4310675b02b&displaylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8dfd1b6d-e177-4a0e-91d0-b4310675b02b&displaylang=en)

Are you saying that you installed the hotfix from Microsoft, but still have problem scanning for channels?

If that is the case, then I am not sure what the problem is. Updating your device driver may help.

Maybe I should have given you the link to the French version of the hotfix:

MC10 and TV Setup in Europe

Hi,
I just thought to write down the error messages I get when I try to watch TV in MC 10. I live in Greece (country code 30) and here's all the trouble I've been through without any successful results. PLEASE HELP!!

TV card installed: Pinnacle TV Pro with the latest WDM drivers installed.
Hotfix for 9.0b installed.
Error Messages:
1. "PlaybackEng - put_CountryCode failed. Cannot setup TVTuner. Code: 0X80070057."

2. "Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location."

-------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Properties:
PAL_B

Video preview: YUY2 (Collor space/Compression)

Video crossbar: INPUT Video Tuner In   OUTPUT Video Decoder Out

TV Tuner Properties Page:
Country 30   Tuning space (?) 0

Tuning Mode TV   Video Standards PAL_B
Input Antenna   Status Locked

While Autoscanning, I can hear very clearly the channels, but they don't get memorized by the program.

I'll really appreciate it if someone can help us. I see there are some other guys living in Europe having the same problem.

Thanks
George

George,
What version of MC are you using?

Did you try the reset option?

Yes i install the patch.
But i've stil have the same probleme: i don't have any error message , i just don't have france in the choice for the Tv Channels, and when i choose an other country , any channel is find.
I don't thing the probleme come from th driver, because it work finewith the others applications.

Thanks for your answer
