I don't recommend this route. Even once you get it working, it is likely that you will experience network congestion errors even when there are not any. If you search through these forums you will find posts about this, I think there is one recommended work around, but it never worked for me. Note I never experience network errors when running of a physical PC, it has something to do with the hyper-v setup.

Forum Post: Re: MC-TVConverter - converting WTV, DVR-MS, MPEG and TS

RomanSLO — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:29:00 GMT

There is enough time for convesion. The approx time to convert one large file is about 40 minutes and the computer is set to watch folder for 8 hours.

Sometimes there are letters in the filename (Slovenian alphabet is different than US/UK), but I do not know if that is the problem. I will record show with our letters in name and report. The files that are not converted are not on the historylog list so that is also not the problem.

Forum Post: Re: Recorded TV - Format Changes to 4:3

spaceboy1976 — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:20:00 GMT

are they actually 4:3 in Media Center but you are using the zoom feature to stretch so it seems like 16:9? sounds unlikely that MCTV converter would alter the aspect ratio. still i'd post it in the MCTV Converter thread

Forum Post: Re: Should Windows 8 media player support Blu-ray playback?

myangeldust — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:13:00 GMT

Before DSL and cable ISPs took a greater market share, some companies would mail desktop versions of their websites with all the bells and whistles and animations on tiny flashdrives. These fingernail drives were so small I didn't know if they would work. But they would sink halfway into the USB slot, then play content automatically. It was as slim as a stick of gum. The Internet streaming is another way but requires folks to have monthly access and if the service is down you can't watch anything. A pocketful o' fingernail drives could be a huge movie collection wherever you go. TV are coming out with USB and SD slots. Who needs a disc player at all?

I'm using a WRT54G2 router. I looked for those settings and they must be for newer routers than mine. Also I have disabled flow control. If I were to get an N router do you think this would solve my problem?

SupaFurry — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:58:00 GMT

I have your *exact* problem, and your exact solution didn't work for me. This is probably because the USB ID number is specific to your hardware. I was hoping Parallels support could help me in a similar way. However they seem to be having some difficulties.

Is there anything you asked them or told them that helped them resolve your issue? Do you know what each of the four numbers refer to in the USB ID number?

Thanks,

CH 791 BRAVOTV on Charter Communications in Ventura, CA is constantly wrong. I have updated the guide listings several times. Every other channel seems to be fine so I know its just the guide for that channel.

Unfortunately, that is not the price for the Windows 8- as others have said elsewhere, that is an offer only for those buying a Windows 7 PCs from June onwards. In the past that upgrade offer was free- i.e. XP to Vista. It is designed to avoid PC sales drying up on the eve of a new OS launch.

You can try moving all unwanted signals to the bottom of the list of sources and unticking them, as detailed here:

I don't come here a lot these days so don't have a link but you should find instructions to turn off the background scanning function if you search for "opportunistic scanning".

Roughy — Mon, 14 May 2012 08:29:00 GMT

Thanks warrenh,

I downloaded the program. It does not seem to do exactly what I need but I still wanted to give it a try. Strangely enough though, it seems that now my Windows detects the TV even if I turn it on after the PC has been started. I hadn't done anything to fix the problem and I just used to start my TV before the PC for quite some time in order to avoid the problem. I will keep trying to start them in reverse order for some time to see if the problem has been really fixed without doing nothing in particular on my side.

Roughy — Sun, 13 May 2012 10:58:00 GMT

I don't think you actually need so much virtual memory. Probably the best use of the additional drive (if you really don't have anything to put on it) would be to make a backup of your smaller drive. And there will be still a lot of space for virtual memory if you want. But I really don't think Windows can make a good use of virtual memory that is in many times bigger than your RAM.
