MMC 9.13, no s-video in with X1900XTX

QuickPaw · Feb 25, 2006, 08:02 PM

I just installed my brand spankin' new X1900XTX card, and it has VIVO. With 9.13MMC, it doesn't even give me the option to select s-video to watch TV from my cable box. It works perfectly fine with WinDVR3 and other programs...I just want to use MMC because it usually seems to have the best picture quality.

It seems strange that MMC only looks for the tuner...which this card doesn't have. BTW, it's also saying in MMC that I have a All In Wonder card...which this isn't.

All drivers and software is up-to-date.

Any ideas?

You have an SVideo output from the cable box plugged into the supplied VIVO cable? Have you double checked to see if the cable output from your cable box is plugged into the input side of the VIVO cable and that the proper input is selected in the MMC? Likely it is something simple...

You could try DScaler. MMC is defunct and dead. You'll probably get better quality with that than with the MMC

well, i know the inputs are right, because i can get video from just about any other program....i'll try dscaler..any other PVR programs you could suggest?

For PVR specifically SnapStream's BeyondTV looks pretty good

Dscaler is nice...too bad encoding videos is a chore with it. Thanks. Any more suggestions are welcome. Bring'em on.
