| 1309112 | 2012-10-27 12:53:00 | Yeah I just finished installing it. It doesn't work :( works perfectly in 7 so they have managed to break it. I get sound but no picture trying to watch freeview, the guide still only does now/next not the full guide, the radio gives me no sound at all. All in all not a great start, no doubt it's a codec issue and will get fixed eventually when they decide to care about our little corner of the market. what's frustrating is the media centre in windows 7 is one of the things I like the most, it is easy to set up and works flawlessly with my tuner. I'm trying to get past my initial impressions and like windows 8, but so far it's not impressing me. |

| 1309114 | 2012-10-27 21:49:00 | Works fine on both my computers. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1309115 | 2012-10-27 22:35:00 | Drivers maybe? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1309116 | 2012-10-28 02:54:00 | yeah a little hasty, it was late and I was frustrated. Graphics driver and a reboot fixed the picture, TV now working. Radio still doesn't though and the guide is something MS show no particular interest in fixing. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1309117 | 2012-10-28 04:40:00 | Graphics driver and a reboot fixed the picture Yeah I couldn't get Media Center to show anything at all on my netbook unless it was set to use integrated graphics instead of the ION chip :confused: |
