Re: [H] No audio on Comedy Central on StarChoice
Never mind, just got my question answered on a forum somewhere. Turns out you need to disable the "descriptive video" feature in the settings menu. No friggin clue what it does or what caused the problem in the first place but it "fixed" it. - Brian On Sat, May 3, 2008 at 10:10 PM, Brian Weeden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My wife and I get StarChoice (Canadian satellite) here in Montreal and we > have a weird problem.

[H] No audio on Comedy Central on StarChoice
My wife and I get StarChoice (Canadian satellite) here in Montreal and we have a weird problem. There's no audio signal for Comedy East and West through our HD decoder box. The audio on all the other channels works just fine, only those channels. I'm running the signal through my Onkyo 777 receiver and I think the channels are using some sort of non-standard encoding that the receiver can't figure out. It's not the dish as it works fine on the upstairs box. Any ideas? Brian

full install is the only option, dead HD. Was just wanting to buy pro recovery disks instead of media center but using the sn from the laptop media center is my only choice to buy anyway.

Re: [H] dumb ?
Dunno but if their like compaq recovery disks, your only choice is full re-install and no just reinstalling some app from the bundle. The use some whack archiving system that hands you a pack of CD's that can't be used in any other way. The one dell version that was floating around did not need activation but certainly had an embedded key. IIRC SP'ing it broke the no activate functionality until you manually replaced some file on the cd with others from the SP. Thus one would assume you could make almost any version no activation assuming you have a legit key to embed. FORC5 wrote: > Checking HP for purchase recovery disk sets, impressed.
