I have a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD hooked to an antenna in an upstairs bedroom. The included app - WinTV - gets more channels than does Media Center. Is there a way to lower the signal standards for Media Center through the registry?
If not, I suppose I can record using the WinTV software, but I'd like the convenience of Media Center's scheduler.
Signal not strong enough for WMC, works fine with WinTV

Try updating the drivers of the Network Adapter from the chipset manufacturer, not the motherboard manufacturer.
Retain your sanity, use Shark007 Codecs

Thanks for the link. Oddly, it appears I did this registry patch years ago. I'm too chicken to modify other threshhold numbers. I'm nerdy, but not THAT nerdy.

Just make a backup, make a note with what key you actually changed and if it gets worse, put it back the way it was.Roginator wrote:Thanks for the link. Oddly, it appears I did this registry patch years ago. I'm too chicken to modify other threshhold numbers. I'm nerdy, but not THAT nerdy.
One of the Nice features about WMC is it's on Windows, The registry is a magical place where you can tweak the heck out of WMC (or break things). Don't be afraid of it, it's not that bad, just read up and change what you need and always have a backout plan (a backup !)
