Buy? That was a metafor

The software is available...

...I haven't gotten used to the new format yet; some of the Forums seem to have disappeared...

Can you give a hint as to where the topic software may be purchased???

I have a Hauppauge WinTV card; an X10 transmitter/receiver; a Hitachi VHS player; a Toshiba 35" TV; and a RealMagic Hollywood+ DVD Decoder card...

They are all interconnected, so I can play/record from any in either direction...And view on TV...

All with Win98 on one HDD; and Win2000 on another (larger VOBs with no breaks)...

can't help you with what you need frogbait.

but to update you all on my tv tuner. the remote didn't work so i took it back. the max resoultion it could do was 800x600, but i enlarged it to 1024x768 and it didn't look too bad.

Was that played with the Media Center software, or software that came with the board?

Wondering because I thought the TV part could only be used with a supported encoder/decoder board.

Thanks for the info so far though!

i know i'm bringing this up from the dead, but i was looking for the thread to see what brand i had bought way back then. still thinking about trying another tv tuner.

cactus if you're still wondering, i used the software that came with the board.

listen,save yourself and us some time posting and replying triviqal ,my advice is to drop by any futureshop or compusmart and look for pcs with media edition and open its device manager and look what hardware in it ,if i have the time tommorow i ll pass by to get you what do they have.sorry for being mean.

Hi fares

I assume that your response was directed at me and, if so, then I don't think that your being mean and if I did, I'd tell you so, PDQ, but I don't ...... honest.

)

BTW .... I don't really see how it saves you sometime posting (unless you count the one and only reply I got. I.e. yours. As for saving me time, I don't mind because it's to my advantage and, after all, that's what these boards are for. If you don't post and ask, you will never know and you will certainly never get.

The reason that I am after the WXPMCE is because I think I already have the compatible hardware installed and I think that it will work on my computer.

So, if you know where I can get the said software, please PM.

Regards

i have it,but still you have to activate.read your pm

Very simple.

Go dissect the Win XP MCE Program, look in the System folders (i386 or whatever), it should list all the drivers for what you need to create the Media Center box. Also, theres a copy of this month's (or last month's) Maximum PC mag talking about the HP's Media center and photos.. maybe u can get the ideas.

Wile' :P
