- Re: Vista MCE - Finds channels but can't view them!

With Vista MC is it possible to manually tweak the registry in some way to
get this offset issue sorted either by changing the way MC handles offsets or
manually entering the frequencies?
thanks,
Rich.

Don't worry, just read through the green button thread, sounds like a driver
issue.

No, because the problem is with the device driver for the DVB-T tuner. In particular the Freecom USB
stick which is in any case not Premium certified for Vista so should not be expected to work in
Media Center. Evidently a DVB-T (Freeview) tuner deployed in the UK must be able to tune to any
frequency within the UHF band presenting the modulation parameters defined in Table 22.2 of
D-Book5.0 & the Freecom & other devices that have a problem with frequency offsets do not satisfy
this requirement. As Freecom & other manufacturers refuse to fix the problem the only solution is to
buy a tuner that is known to work correctly e.g. any of the Hauppauge ones.
