londonstylz · 12-27-2008, 08:22 PM

i recieved a win tv 1191 for hristmas. i cant sem to get it to run on my pc. i am running windows xp with and amd athalon 2000+ processor, 512 ram, and a nvidia geforce fx 5200.

The problem i am having is the wintv aoftware sees the chanels when i autoscan but i cant seem to tune them in. all i get is a black screen. i m running my cable wire right into the ubit. i also have a cable box in th room. mabee i will try runing the cable to the box and then the box to the wintv device.

Any help would be apreciated.

if winTV is detecting channels, you should be able to view them. n suite manager, go to channels buttom, make sure all are checked. then nin main tv window, at the rottom, right click, and select desired channel.

When i put my 1600 in, i had to bounce back and forth from winTV 6 to the new version and back a few times because channels would act up (dont know why).

I didn't realize you had a USB unit.

WinTV is really the best for the hauppauge cards..chris TV and a few others i tried wouldnt pick it up.
