Hi jeffries700,

It sounds like you have a TV capture card not a TV tuner card.
I believe TV capture cards only allow TV to be played onto your PC but not recorded. To record you either need a TV tuner card or third party software to record the TV signal.

I'm not 100% sure on this so I recommend a second opinion.

Good Luck

i have a media center laptop and I have this issue every so often as well. I havent done extensive research on it, but i assume it might be because of the amount of times im splitting the line before it reaches my tuner. for some channels/recodrinds ill get a distorted line at the very top; just a slight annoyance.

how many splitters are on yoru cable line?


flash: you do not have to leave the live tv on to record. meida center runs its own service in the background. you also do not have to leave it on the same channel, media center should change it automatically....like tivo or any other dvr
 
it might be a card issue. i've had an nvidia nvtv and an ati 550 theater pro with mce with no problem

I had to buy a new card from pc world as i only had a terrestial one in my computer. i bought a wintv digital terrestrial card! as someone said earlier i have another 3 coaxial cables going into other rooms around my house excluding mine. is that why it does'nt do it?
thanks

I have a million cable wires ran (I like to rearrange my rooms a lot) and I don't have this problem
