Therefore I have put the pagefile on that partition. The D-drive with the old XP is of course a completely abandoned wasteland with lots of folders and program installations that are not used (like a complete Office installation), but with lots of free space. Size 55.1GB with 40.1GB free Plus a Samsung USB external HD size 150GB with 17.5GB freeįunny thing is that Win7 was installed on the D partition (secondary) but after installation the C partition (primary) became D and D became C, thus rendering Win7 on the C-drive.
Size 19.4GB with 4.3GB free D-drive with the old XP installation which I suppose still works. I have one internal HD with 2 partitions: C-drive with Win7 and associated programs. Obviously over time we are all filling more and more junk onto the HD's. No wonder it won't work with certain new applications.
#Encore tv tuner manual#
By the way, the manual for the tuner was made in 2006 so we are not talking about brand new hardware. For now I'll just play my music on the media center and watch the TV directly on the ENU software. At that time everything will probably be Win7 compatible. This transition is far from finished but whenever that happens I'll get myself a digital tuner. I'm not really into changing the tuner just now as my country (Brazil) is in the process of changing to digital TV transmissions. The tuner is a USB stick that receives analog TV signal and passes on to a program that shows the TV on screen.
The tuner and TV program works fine with Win7 on a standalone basis and it did work on the Media Center with the last driverupdate - only very badly and slowly - probably due to the MPEG decoder you mentioned. While Encore advertises with compatibility for XP only, the installation CD does actually come with setup programs for both XP and Vista 32/64 bit. We can point you to some tuners however, we'll need to know if this is a desktop (and, what slots you have available: PCI, PCIe, or both) or laptop (and, what type of expansion slot you have.)

You'll also find that TV setup in Media Center, once you have a compatible tuner, is quite intuitive - one can typically simply accept all of the default settings, and need only enter ZIP code and select TV provider. Frankly, you'll most likely need to replace the tuner with one that carries a "Vista Media Center" certification.
#Encore tv tuner software#
Worse, they don't list "Windows Media Center compatible." One major stiking point that you'll have (and, why Media Center doesn't recognize the tuner) is the lack of a hardware MPEG encoder on the tuner, or the lack of a MC-rated software MPEG encoder for that tuner stick. As Ronnie said, Encore only lists "windows XP" for supported operating systems. Any hints out there?Īmbidextrous installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on an HP Pavilion dv1000 Laptop with a Centrino 1.86 GB CPU and 2 GB RAM.Īmbidextrous, I don't think that it's going to work. But I can only say that - If I want to watch TV - I'll have to revert to the old ENU driver. Well, I only have one TV tuner so I really cannot determine if the problem is with the tuner or with the Media Center. Changing channels takes from 2 to 10 seconds on Media Center while it is instantaneous on the ENU program. Media center compaired to the original software for the ENU TV modle is like Donald Duck pulling a cart with a square wheel: Slow, hard and extremely irritating. Tried to tweak using the antenna option but no channels were found.
I delete all channels and add them manually. OK, I choose cable, but my cable provider is not listed so I try another one on the list. Media center wants antenna, satellite or cable. However: Tuning to TV channels is a real pain in a certain lower region. Allthough it seems like there is a los of communication once in a while.

I have now changed the ENU driver to the TVWalker and it does work with the Win7 Media Center. Only down is that it must downgrade the screen for some reason. First of all: The software (TV program) for the ENUTV driver works fine with Win7. Thanks!Īmbidextrous installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on an HP Pavilion dv1000 Laptop with a Centrino 1.86 GB CPU and 2 GB RAM. Who knows, it might start working properly. I'm still experimenting with the Win7 driver.

Hi, It is ENCOREs ENUTV analog USB device with both 32 and 64 bit drivers for both XP and Vista.
