Vista MCE TV card Signal Source Problems (TV Via S-Video)

Hi there all this is my firt post here after getting Vista

So here my question, I have a Compro DVB-T200 Hybrid TV Card now although i
can pick up normal Digital Terrestrial TV.

I have a subscription to Cable TV (NTL) with nearly all the channels and
have my set top box connected to the TV card via S-Video.

Now when i enter MCE to set up a TV connection, MCE insists i use the
antenna which i don't want to cos i want to use S-Video Input so that i can
get all my Cable TV via that. It seems to me that when MCE does a download of
somekind just because i am in the UK it assumes i want to watch via antenna?

I know that this setup worked cos the PC used to Run Win XP with the iMon
software, i have downloaded the corrrect Crivers and Vista Recognizes the TV
card correctly.

So my question is can i get MCE to watch TV via S-Video instead of the
antenna signal

Re: Vista MCE TV card Signal Source Problems (TV Via S-Video)

The Media Center appliation in either MCE2005 or in Vista does not support
the Analog tuner on hybrid analog/DVB-T cards such as yours which is why it
only is looking for an antenna connection for the DVB-Tuner on your card.
As you have found other software application then MC will support the analog
tuner.
