RE: XP Media Center Question.
Jim, Although I mainly use Window Eyes, it will basically be the same with Jaws. I will include a list of hotkeys below. Watching and recording is easy and works well once you get the hang of it. There is lots of stuff that doesn't speak like most dialogs and unfortunately, most program info displays, but navigating through the program guide, recording, playing back recordings and all of that stuff thankfully works quite well. Just check out these hotkeys then get in there and poke around a while and you will see what I mean. In addition, if you have a full fledged media center pc, with built-in tuner and remote, the remote works very well and many times easier than using the keyboard.

RE: XP Media Center Question.
Jim, As I recall, when you schedule a recording for the current day, the date is not shown in the list of scheduled programs, but if the recording is scheduled for another day in the future, the date is shown in the list. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out a way to go to a specific date within the guide though. If anyone knows the answer to this, please post it as I would love to figure that out. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Noseworthy Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 5:13 PM To: 'PC audio discussion list.

Norma, Not sure what you mean by one touch, but if you are watching something and just want to start recording on the fly, most definitely. You can just hit control r or hit the record button on the remote. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norma A.

RE: XP Media Center Question.
Hi, sorry, no I do not have a real description. I only know the buttons I use and those I found by trial and error. I typically use the row of 4 buttons above the number pad. The first one takes you directly to your scheduled or list of recorded programs, the second one takes you directly to the Guide, and the third on takes you directly to live tv. I do not know what the fourth one does. I also use the circle found in the middle of the remote. This pretty much acts as you would expect, like arrow keys with the center being like the enter key. I also use the large round button that is found directly above the circle. This is the play button. There are 2 small thin horizontal buttons directly to the left and right of the play button. These are rewind and fast forward. Above the play button there are 3 small round buttons at positions 10:00, 12:00, and 2:00. The right most of the 3 buttons is pause, the middle on is stop, and the left most one is record for on the fly recording. If you record something with this button, just press stop to stop it and you will get a dialog that doesn't really speak except for the yes and no buttons. It is asking you if you really want to stop the recording I think. Use your left and right arrow keys in the circle to choose. Of Cures, you can also use any of the keyboard shortcuts I already posted to do any of this. Sorry I don't know every button, but maybe this will get you started. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arnaud Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 7:44 AM To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Another XP Media Center Question.
hello jim, yes there are many different versions available. there are internal pci models plus USB models that are available like a memory stick or as a box with a USB lead coming off of it. but probably the best ones on the market are the nebula models. they all support audio description transmissions for both listening to live and for recording. this obviously depends on where you are in the world, but they do work in several countries and they are listed on their website: www.nebula-electronics.co.uk they also are aware of the needs of visually impaired people and make their software as accessible as possible. they are also about to launch a new home media centre that has 3 digital tuners plus a 500 gb hard drive within it that will work by connecting direct to a tv, via a wired network, or by wi-fi to your pc's or to tv's around the home if you connect one of their thin client receivers to the tv. i also believe that their adapters are the only ones on the market that are able to receive high definition signals. the other major manufacturer of digital pc adapters is hauppauge and their international site is: www.hauppauge.com but their models don't support audio description. pete. Hi Folks: Is it possible to acquire a tv tuner card that will record digital TV? Thanks all over the place gang.

Re: Another XP Media Center Question.
Hi! I just went to the web site for nebula electronics, and liked what I was able to read there, but before I even think about buying anything, I have some questions. Would the pci card version of their tv tuner work in the stats, and if so, does it work well with Windows Media center? I'm very interested in getting it for my new computer if it supports audio description features.

Re: Another XP Media Center Question.
I'm not so sure because basically, Microsoft instruct pc manifacturers to only support a small number of chips because they must be validated by MS Arnaud de Bonald - WeBlog: http://www.echo-on.org - Skype: Netcava Jim Noseworthy a écrit : > Hi Folks: > > Is it possible to acquire a tv tuner card that will record digital TV? > > Thanks all over the place gang. > > > > Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... > http://www.pc-audio.org > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What you really need to ask is whether your television service provider can send the proper codes to the card to authorize it for use on their network. You may also discover, much to your annoyance, that the channel mapping differs between what a set-top box would know and what your TV tuner card would know. Case in point: Here in Manhattan, a friend connected his Media Center PC directly to his cable. QVC, which was channel 55 on his box, was accessed at channel 200-something through Media Center controlling the tuner card. He's not paying for any premium services so there's no issue of tuner-card authorization, it apparently just works like it should on regular "basic" channels. Be careful, this could happen to you with the cards mentioned.

Re[2]: Another XP Media Center Question.
hello missy, sorry i'm so late in replying to your message but i haven't been around much this week. unfortunately i gave nebula a call today and they told me that although their audio description works in several countries around the world it doesn't work with the broadcasts in the United States . this is because the USA has decided to use a different system for their audio description rather than the one the other countries are using. pete.
