Windows Media Center records in .wtv format, which is described as Windows
Recorded TV. If all you want to do with the files is to watch them in Media
Center, there shouldn't be any problem. I don't know if other players
support this format.
As soon as I find some TV with audio description, I'll try to record it. At
the moment, I can only get ABC and CBS networks on my tuner, along with some
independent channels. If anyone knows of programs on ABC or CBS that are
described, let me know.

Hi,
If I remember correctly mediacenter records in a format complicated to be
converted into somethink more usefull like mpg or ts, and I don't know if
with mediacenter you can record all the streams included in the channel
like a secondary audio stream.
Best regard,

It's true that there is other software that can operate a tuner card and
schedule recordings, but accessibility is not guaranteed. The
advantages of Media Center are that in the program itself, the controls
are standard, eliminating the need for any scripts, and you can read the
descriptions of each program in the Program Guide. Also, Media Center
comes with Windows, giving us a standard user interface to work with.
Media Center in Vista and Windows 7 must be fairly similar since my
remote control that was designed for Vista also works well with Media
Center in Windows 7.

I'll let Jianluca answer for himself, but as he says in his email he
uses the software that comes with his USB TV tuner card from Hauppauge.
He says this software is accessible.
I did something a few years ago, using the software that came with a TV
tuner card I got cheap. I think the software was PVR by KWorld. I don't
recall the manufacturer of the TV tuner card, but like I said, this was
a few years ago, so I'm sure neither the TV tuner card or the software
is still around. I just use this as an example that there may be other
software out there besides Windows Media Center that let's you control
and record from your TV tuner card.

Hi everyone. Here in Italy for whatching the tv on my pc I use a usb
tv card from Hauppauge, and I can even record in .ts format. The
software that comes with it is accessible, in fact, I don't use
mediacenter, I don't like it at all. I run Windows 7 64 bit version as
OS

Hi Folks, I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to get more than 2 out
of 7, email addresses of the people who said they wanted to be in on
a conversation regarding television on their computer.
Brett Boyer's and Gary Kings email addresses worked, but the
following did not:
Steven Hics, David Tanner, Brent Harding, Hamit Campos and Gary Wood.
I'd be glad to pass on the information I have to who ever would be
willing to take this conversation project on. I think we could all
bennefit from each others knowledge and experiences.
Sincerely, Vicky Vaughan
