HP TV tuner - 9000t latop..

It works and all for me.. but the windows media center guide isn't accurage at all? so how do you record if it's not accurate.... is there better program than what came with the laptop to use the tvtuner. I want something where I can put times to record and and also maybe a different media format for recording also. If you record 1 hour of tv it's 4gb.. what if u want to tape a movie or 2 hr show?? u can't put it on one dvd?? help please!

 

there are many programs out there that support tv tuners and recording, as for the size issue. you could try encoding in a lower rate or re-encoding after the recording to reduce size

 

can you give me some program names?? some good ones..

 

Does the cost of the TV tuner ($130) cover all of the costs for using it or are there additional service/other costs? This is assuming one has a television with cable.

 

nope, not that I know of..

 

I can't seem to get windvr to work on the 9000T. I get picture and everything but no sound?? any one know? and also like I said.. why isn't the TV guide right? shows the wrong information and everything

 

there is no additional services that I am aware of

 

what program does everyone use with there tv tuner?? i've used the Windows media player one.. but the guide is wrong and I also used winDVR but I get no audio and also have tried snapstream and that guide it also wrong for recording and everything. what does everyone here use?

 

Masta, if you plan on putting the raw data on a DVD then no, you cannot burn more than one 2-hour show onto a DVD. However, videos are setup differently than regular files as it goes by the time not the file size. If you recorded 2 2-hour shows, you could burn both of those safely onto a DVD using the Media Center burner or even Nero or some other DVD authoring software.

 

It seems to work fine for me. Did you select the correct location and service (e.g., Cable, DirecTV, etc.) when you set it up?
