| 446311 | 2006-04-15 03:26:00 | Sorry ignore last reply. I think the TV card is a Conexant 23880 Tuner (Phillips 4 in 1) |

| 446312 | 2006-04-15 04:24:00 | You should be able to connect Media Centre to Sky set up box. Check the Windows XP media centre site for instructions. www.microsoft.com Also check out this local site for more info etc. www.ehomedia.com From memory I think you need to go into media centre and reload the channel settings. Hope this helps. |

| 446313 | 2006-04-15 06:17:00 | I have not been able to get the changing of channels working, meaning you need to change them with the Sky decoder, if you 'auto tune' the program, it should pick up the sky, only 1 channel, mine is 606.5Mhz, might be the same or different for you | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 446314 | 2006-04-15 06:31:00 | Thanks for all your help i think I've sorted it. I was connecting using coax but tuning in as a set top box but this didn't work so i clicked on using an antenna and got it to tune in, but your correct you can't use media center remote.So I have changed and used RCA cables and tuned in as a satelite and have also configured the Media remote to turn over channels. thanks for all your replies very much appreciated :thumbs: :waughh: | craig190 (10207) | ||
