Please update the video and sound card drivers from vendors’ web sites. Make
sure the driver for motherboard chipset is also up to date. The default drivers
supplied with the Windows operating system are usually too old to operate
correctly. If you still have problems, please install the latest ComproPVR and
driver from our website.
Some software, such as MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, and Norton
LiveUpdate, can interfere with the Tuner card. Try shutting down those
programs.
Make sure the PCI TV card is using an independent IRQ. Try moving the card
to another PCI slot.
Check your motherboard BIOS settings, as follows:
Assign IRQ to VGA — ENABLE
PCI Master 0 Write — DISABLE
IRQ activate by — Level
PCI Peer Concurrency — DISABLE
CPU to PCI write buffer — DISABLE
PCI Latency Timer — a higher value (64) can help image quality
TV is not clear?
TV signal could be reduced by the branching. Please make sure the cable
signal is good. Try to move the computer to a TV set and connect the cable
which is being used for the TV set. Also directly connecting the cable before
the splitter may help.
This problem could also come from with static. Once you connect the cable to
our TV card, the static interfere the system. It's possible to correct this problem
by connecting a wire from the grounding of the cable to ground. Also make
sure computer grounding is good.
Does the VideoMate TV PCI Tuner Card support
other TV application software?
VideoMate TV follows the standard WDM driver specification and thus works
with many third-party programs. Please go to Compro FAQ website for more
information. However, Compro does not guarantee third-party programs’
results.
