What's an OTA TV and how do I know if I have one? We just have an old
analogue TV connected to Time Warner Cable. Does audio description
come through cable? We get the scrolling line for the deaf--I forgot
what it's called.

See, this right here is yet another example of what I meant, what if you
want to access it with WMC, how would you do it? They have a button
on their
remote, and that's the key, their remote. What if you don't want to
use a
regular TV? That's where I guess I was the first to go in too deep,
and I
guess I caused people to leave. I'm just saying, for those that still
wander, this is the kind of thing that I kind of got a funny feeling
might
be too much, but I wasn't sure how far is too far. The guid lines didn't
really talk about that kind of thing.

direct tv has a button on the remote to turn on audio description but am
unsure where it is at on remote.

I know that CSI and NCIS are described. Maybe Criminal Minds is too,
but I'm not sure if one can turn the description thing on. I know my
mom still has an OTA TV hooked up in the kitchen, but I don't know if
it has the right capability.

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 Best regards, Gianluca from italy.

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
