QUOTE(Matrix @ Mar 9 2007, 09:11 AM) Yep, problem is the Bladerunner Pro use to download EPG data doesn't work. Sorry been away from LYN for awhile. Haven't have the time to explore vista MCE yet. I suppose need to wait for the bladerunner pro to support vista. A quick google search didn't give much light on bladerunner support vista yet. I think I will stick to XP MCE for awhile more before moving to vista. Gotta ask the sifu - Hey Terence, got any ideas?? From the googling juz now, I came across this: QUOTE I think that Quickguide can work with Vista RC1 if the following mods are made: Remove the 2 lines of code which refer to Microsoft.Ehome.Epg.Guide.GuideTimeAndDate from Starter.cs Rebuild the application (VC# express 2005) with references to the Vista DLLs ehepg.dll ehepgdat.dll and ehiProxy.dll. I'm not sure what the two lines of code are for but I have my own program which uses the same code as Quickguide for sending EPG data to Media Center and it does work with Vista RC1 with the two lines removed. apparently someone has recompiled bladerunner pro to work in vista. I'm not a microsoft person so I dunno how to recompile it. Anyway if anyone embarked on getting Astro EPG to work with vista please please update here to share with everyone here. thanks. |

Good news for Windows MCE users, we can have Astro EPG on Vista MCE now. Guide is up at www.tvxb.com site. Now I need to get my hands on a vista cd to try it out.
Added on April 30, 2007, 2:05 pmAstro got new channels. I have generated a new TVxb.ini. The file can be downloaded from my site. Link: http://www.terencey.net/blog/?p=99 P/S: Please help to click on ads links if possible. Thanks. This post has been edited by terencey: Apr 30 2007, 02:05 PM |

QUOTE(terencetoo @ May 14 2007, 11:22 PM) yeah i saw creative have those 3.5mm jack to RCA wonder can i get it from lowyat or i have to pre order from creative.. Most soundcards output through 2 3.5mm jack (front and rear), so using 3.5mm -> RCA would mean you can only use 1 jack. I use 2 3.5mm to RCA cable and use a converter to input the RCA heads into my AV receiver. Another option is to use optical cable if your sound card and your hifi or AMP have it.another things is... using 3.5mm -> RCA to connect Hi-fi is better in terms of sound OR just get the computer speaker eg Logitech Z5500 with build in decoder? Which provide better functionality or sound quality>? Thanks Z5500 is a very good set of speakers for a small setup. It receives the front and rear input from your sound card and also accept digital input. I don't own a Z5500 but my friends using it gave good reviews about it. Its a cheaper solution also compared to AV receiver + speakers setup. Sound quality wise AV receiver + speakers (with digital input) will have better sound quality but that comes with a hefty price. |

QUOTE(aroyo @ May 21 2007, 05:09 PM) Hi all, I have the exact setup you mentioned last until until I upgraded to a LCD TV. Check my signature for the link.I am thinking of setingup a HTPC with dual display (one DVI to LCD, another composite to TV). I am wondering if I can use each display simultaneously to display different softwares? Eg: simultaneous watch TV/AVI on the LCD and play games on the TV. Is this possible? Thanks for any input. |
