cookieland!
anyone understand how to do this?
i tried the other day for a customer, but knowing nothing at all about windows media center or windows vista i couldnt get a picture on the pc
i plugged the coax into cable input on the tuner card, ran thru the windows media setup to scan for cable channels (option checked for no set top box) and it found nothing. of course the 722 was modulated to 73 and the line was good.
what did i do wrong?
 
I have done what you wanted with Win7 (and I did it also when Vista was on this machine)media center and it does not search and find channels that are not listed in your area. What you have to do is manually add the channel to receive the back feed from sat tv2 to pc input. If you look in the media center, settings, tv, guide , there is an option to add missing channels and you should be good to go (my setup is over the air and TV1, TV2 back feed from 2 vip722 receivers channels 23, 28, 33, 37)
